• Internet Protection Act, to keep all sex offenders off the internet.
    I see too many people who I know are registered sex offenders using the Internet to con their way into people's lives and into state jobs they have no business trying to get. Sex offenders are not waiting in in dark alleys anymore; they are using the Internet, and especially Facebook to prey on the weak. They are not stopping, and they are not show in any signs of slowing there habits down. Keeping them off iphones and computers will make the world safer from them. As a father myself I would rather my kids not have to watch out for that. Also, make it illegal for them to own video games, iphones anything with the Internet and make it illegal for anyone who lives with a sex offender to have Internet access. Motivate the public to be scared of committing sex offenses.

  • A civilized society doesn't put children in prison with adults
    Michigan is one of only a handful of states that locks up juvenile offenders under the age of 18 alongside the adult prison population, often for non-violent offenses. A recent investigation by the Huffington Post found a system rife with abuse and horrific treatment of children by guards and fellow inmates throughout Michigan. They found instances of children as young as 16 forced to share cells with adults where they were repeatedly subjected to sexual abuse. Or corrections officers, totally untrained in dealing with adolescents, forcibly restraining teens on slabs of concretes for days at a time. And a penal system, all the way from the county prosecutor to the attorney general, stacked against the poor and young people of color. Here's how Huffington Post Editor Ryan Grim summarized the shocking abuses: "The overincarceration of people in American society has reached pathological levels, but for the same treatment to be meted out to children demands immediate intervention. Liberals, conservatives and libertarians are all coming together to call for comprehensive criminal justice reform, and the movement's progress is impressive and hopeful. But there is a long way to go, and these kids can't wait." The findings of this investigation are a national disgrace and Michigan lawmakers should move quickly to end these abuses. A civilized society doesn't put children in prison with adults. http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/cruel-and-all-too-usual/

  • Remove Judge Thomas Kelly Kane and Brian Caplan from their jobs!!!
    In my case; Case number 14-9155 docket number: 14CR1456 an unfair and tainted Jury was allowed to convict me of charges that didn't match what i actually am accused of. When the jury came into the room before EVER hearing the facts of the case, the jury had already thought i was guilty! that presents a judicial issue in that the Judge was mandated to dismiss the jury once someone came forward and informed him t hat the jury felt i was guilty! the judge did NOT! That is improper and leads me to think that this and other judges who may have done the same thing in other cases, are corrupt and in collusion with the Prosecutors and are willing to ignore procedures in order to convict so that they can gain finances from that individual! I am standing up for Justice and standing tall against INJUSTICE!!!! i am truthfully unafraid to stand against these two corrupt practitioners of injustice!!!! If my case is NOT immediately dismissed with Prejudice, Then I know that they aren't the ONLY ones allowing corruption of justice to run rampant!!! I WILL be immediately compensated financially for the inconveniences presented me in this carriage of injustice as well! $20,000 from each Thomas Kelly Kane and Brian Caplan. I am presenting the two of them with additional $7,500 each in small claims lawsuits to help shed light onto what they have done to me by NOT dismissing the tainted jury and for possibly tampering with that same Jury to get an unlawful conviction! Help me get my case thrown out of court, the Judge reprimanded and or fired, The Prosecutor reprimanded and or disbarred, the charges dropped by signing my petition.

  • free Leonard Peltier
    Leonard Peltier on the day of the shoot he was accused of was not even armed with a gun. And yet still was locked up. Only because he was Native American and the F.B.I did not want to admit they fired upon unarmed women and children. Basically, Leonard was locked up because somebody had to take the blame so the F.B.I would not be embarrassed. Let's release him from prison once and for all and correct this wrong into a right.

  • Stop Corporate Investments In Prison Systems
    Corporate privileges and resources must not be invested in prison systems where prisoners are abused and neglected by guards using extreme isolation, arbitrarily and abusive measures like unhealthy foods, delayed medical care, or violence done to people by virtue of their race, class, or citizenship status. Furthermore, the private prison model should not be hinged on maximizing incarceration to generate profit by incentivized arresting, convicting, sentencing, and keeping people in prison for longer times without the right to a trail or hearing.

  • NORTH CAROLINA POLICY MAKERS: PLEASE APPROPRIATE THE NECESSARY FUNDING NEEDED TO PROVIDE NC DPS ...
    More then 90% of people incarcerated return back to our communities, many subjected to years of abusive treatment behind prison walls. People are incarcerated serve prison time as punishment for crimes against society, not to be mentally or physically abused. As a matter of Social Justice and public safety, the use of body cameras provides a method for responsible and humane oversight.

  • Alaska Third Party Custodian
    This law has made it hard on families around Alaska to get out of jail because we have to be monitored by another adult 24/7. People lose their jobs because of this law. If they just had bail instead of a third party custodian added alongside it, then it would be easier to get out.

  • Mandatory body cameras on all CPS workers.
    C.P.S. employees have the power to heavily influence the removal of your child/children from your home, temporarily or permanently. The removal of a child from a family is a serious event, which permanently scars the minds of all those involved, as well as friends and relatives. One would think this power to severely disrupt the lives of thousands of families across the U.S. would have a lawful system of checks and balances. I speak for thousands of people when I say this system lacks proper oversight. I have started this petition in hopes of influencing a new law, making it mandatory for C.P.S. employees to wear body cameras when visiting a family's home. A body camera on every C.P.S. worker who visited a family's home would prove or disprove the allegations made against the family in question. The objective recording of the C.P.S. worker's visit would accelerate the process of separating a child from a potential life-threatening environment, while keeping upright families from getting completely engrossed in family courtrooms.
