Ron is someone we love and miss very much. He has a lot to offer, and would like to offer it while he is still able to. He has a promising future, and we would like to see him live it and make future memories with us while he still can. He has been locked away from us all for 40 years! Please sign this petition and help us get this much loved and needed man home to us. Thank you and God Bless!

Our son is a very good person who while on drugs committed this crime, and has paid for it. We stand by him and give him the moral support he needs to stay strong and the wherewithal to do better and prove he is a changed man.

I want justice to be served and all parties involved to be investigated so that this doesn't happen again.

We have all seen the upsetting results of distrust and suspicion--not only in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, but around the country--brought about by decisions not to indict police officers. More transparency and accountability is needed in this process. Giving the power to the County Prosecutor, rather than the grand jury, is what is needed.

The influence of racism in the outcome of many cases involving the use of lethal force on the part of police officers is undeniable - the failure of a Missouri grand jury to indict officer Darren Wilson of shooting Michael Brown is stark evidence of this. Racism is a disease that is tearing this country apart, and by rubbing out it's influence in cases, like in Ferguson, Missouri, that determine the fate of a murderer, we can begin to erode it's very consequential grasp on American politics.

I want justice for those who are killed by police officers under any circumstances.

I am proud to call this man my daddy! It is outrageous that with all his accomplishments and no conduct related issues while incarcerated that they continue to keep him from me and my family. Both of the men that my dad were tried with have been paroled out of the State of Wisconsin. Why is my dad still there? He hasn’t caught any other cases and has been a model prisoner. He has taken classes to better himself and has held continuous jobs so that he can continue to grow his skills. He is currently learning to work on engines; small 2 stroke engines as well as big diesel engines. Everything he does in there, he does to better himself so that he has a future when he comes home. You have had him for 30 years. Please let me have him for the next 30. I, my son, my family and my dad have suffered long enough. It’s time for him to come home and start his life over and be the father and grandfather that he hasn’t had the chance to be. I was 9 years old when my dad was taken from me. I will be 40 in August. My son (my dad's only grandchild) is now 21. He has seen his grandpa once in his whole life. The one thing that my Grandparents want to see in their last years is for their son to come home. Please give my dad the opportunity to spend those last few years with his parents.

I am Eric’s mother. My whole family has long been waiting for him and we know he is ready. There must be a way that parole is opened up for these prisoners. Upon closing I pray that my son is allowed the opportunity of coming back home. His internal scars will forever remind him of his bad choices. I have faith that on top of that mountain of NO’S there is a YES for our family. We will forever be graciously thankful.

He is falsely accused of a crime he did not commit -- life without parole. Help get his story told. NOONE should be imprisoned for a crime they didn't commit.

I have a business centered around erasing home violence, and I have personal and professional experience with the subject.

This petition outlines the 3 most important changes needed to the way parole is run . Either we need a change in attitude, perhaps put in place with a policy change directive by the parole chairman, or we need the enacting of new parole rules. these are three taken from the many proposals included in the "Petition for New Parole Rules Using Statute 227". The system is stuck and all are suffering.

Nancy's case is heart breaking. We did a compassionate release application for her and she was denied and her time to the next parole hearing was extended to two years. I am worried that her health will give out with the stress and her inability to breathe well. There is no good reason behind this and the parole board gives no reason except to constantly reiterate her drug crime. Enough-this is not the same woman who went to prison- she has learned what she needs and now we need to release her.
