• Motion for new trial and amendment of judgment!!
    My petition is about getting my uncle, Clifton McKinney an everyone else that has or is being wrongly imprisoned, the chance at a fair an honest trial or new appeal!! This issue has affected me not only because it's my uncle, but also because I feel that justice is not having innocent people punished for something they didn't do.

  • Sickened by pesticides. Next time it could be me. Sign today.
    Workers sickened by pesticides last August still have no justice from Ag Commissioner: Workers will hand in petition to Ag Commissioner during March 6 Rally “I work picking peaches for Gerawan. In August 2013, Gerawan workers entered a peach orchard to starting picking. They noticed a bad smell, began to feel sick & later found that this field was sprayed with toxic pesticides. It frightens me that no one even told them to keep out of the orchard like the law says. What’s scary is it could have just as easily been me. “It’s been more than a year and a half since this happened and Gerawan still hasn’t been punished for their carelessness. The Ag Commissioner ruled against Gerawan back in November. And still nothing has happened. I don’t understand it. They have been found guilty and should be fined already. “I and some of my coworkers visited the Ag Commissioner last Friday. They still couldn’t give us answers. So we want to do a demonstration in front of their office on March 6 and hand in a petition. We are hoping people from all around the country will sign it. We want the Ag Commissioner and Gerawan to realize people know about this and care. Will you sign our petition?” --Uziel Romero, Gerawan farm worker

  • Governor Abbott: Do not execute Rodney Reed
    Rodney Reed was set to be executed on March 5, 2015, but he was given a stay. Now the state is trying to execute him on November 20, 2019. This is unacceptable. New evidence has been found and new witnesses have come forward since this petition was created in 2015. A new witness described a confession by Stacey Stite's fiance, Jimmy Fennel. The witness describes Jimmy saying to his cellmate that he murdered Stacey because she was secretly dating a Black man, Rodney Reed. Rodney Reed has been on Texas’ death row since 1998. He was convicted of the 1996 murder of Stacey Stites, a white woman, in the small town of Bastrop, Texas. Stacey’s brutal murder struck at the very heart of the community, not only for its brutality, but for the sinister chain of events it would set into motion. Rodney’s case is a troubling mixture of prosecutorial misconduct, police corruption, poor defense, and deep institutional racism

  • Second Chance
    My son is a first-time offender. With the parole laws the way they are now: he will not be able to attend church with his family, be around his own children or any child, have a relationship and many other uncalled for rules. He, along with many other first time offenders, are having to pay on the inside and remain paying after released. As the laws read at the present time- these people are being set up to fail and return to prison. This only fuels mass incarceration. This leaves families to endure more heartaches and financial burdens. Yes, the laws were made to help protect our children but the way they stand right now they are helping to tear families apart. If you have to register as a sex offender you are not allowed around children even if the crime was not against a child . Every sex crime is put in the same group and not a case by case as it should be. You cannot even be in the same car with a child or attend church because there might be a child there. We need to help these people who have served time to become better citizens not continue to put them down.

  • Request the Department of Justice investigate wrongful court decision by Broward County, Florida ...
    The victims in this case were undocumented immigrants. Justice was denied to these people. Similar cases involving those in positions of power result in conviction of sexual battery, rape and carry harsh prison time plus sex offender registration requirements which did not happen in this case. A review of the court decision is required and necessary.

  • Pennsylvania's Death Penalty is Broken: It's Time to End It!
    Governor Tom Wolf recently halted all executions in Pennsylvania. Now is the time to end the death penalty for good. Death penalty cases cost taxpayers far more than locking up prisoners for the rest of their lives, while providing no additional benefit to society. By replacing the death penalty with life without parole, we could free up millions of dollars that could be redirected to other public safety needs, or to help murder victims' families. Replacing the death penalty with life in prison without the possibility of parole also ensures that we’ll never execute an innocent person. At least 150 people have been wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death in the U.S., including six from Pennsylvania, and some innocent people have even been executed.

  • Arrest John Boehner for Treason
    By inviting Netanyahu to speak to the House privately without informing the President of the United States, the Republican controlled leadership of the House works not only against the President of the United States but also comes dangerously close to Treason. The text of the 8 U.S. Code 953 is as follows: "Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. "This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects." Clearly, by his actions, John Boehner has violated the first paragraph. This sort of behavior has to be stopped and John Boehner has to be punished.

    FOR MORE INFORMATION GO TO WWW.CONFLICTGATE.COM The qualified electors of the County of Crawford and State of Kansas hereby request that the District Court of Crawford County, within 60 days after the filing of this Petition cause a grand jury to be summoned in the County to investigate alleged violations of law and to perform such other duties as may be authorized by law: 1. Hear testimony and investigate alleged violations of Federal and Kansas DUE PROCESS constitutional law by the systematic and blatant usurpation of judicial office and the disturbing conflicts of interest between Judges** and attorneys (esp. their former law partners) including instances of confirmed / shocking economic conflict of interests. The reasonable people of this County have decided that there needs to be an immediate stop to this practice by the implementation of a new 11th District local rule that bars all Judges from hearing their former law partners cases. The people have NO CONFIDENCE in the judiciary when judges act at times in a manner that does NOT promote public confidence in the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary and believe it is inappropriate for a Judge to hear cases with open /hidden conflicts of interests. 2. Guilty judges / parties attorneys should be indicted, ousted out of office, moneys earned returned and all related NO DUE PROCESS cases voided, vacated, and reheard Attorneys who knowingly practiced law in front of a judge with a conflict of interest should face disciplinary action and restitution of client and state income for every such case. WE THE PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT TO AVOID BIAS AND PREJUDICE FROM THE JUDICIARY ALL PETITIONERS SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFY ALL THE NAMED JUDGES.

  • FREE DJLEXO !!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!
    On July 20th, 2009, my beautiful 6 year old grandson, Giovanni Kopystenski, was involved in a handgun accident in which he was fatally wounded. To compound the heartache, of what our family had lost and despite the fact that over less than a week's time of the accident, 3 police officers in Nevada and California suffered almost identical tragedies and lost their own children without any legal consequences; but Alexander Kopystenski, was subjected to a 12 to 20 year sentence for the incident. The Judge in his case, Judge Jesse Walsh, did not send him to prison but instead suspended a five year sentence and placed him on probation. Alex completed everything that probation required of him but he went above and beyond by becoming Nevada Chairman for AutismSpeaks, created Giovanni's Legacy Foundation, in honor of his son's life which is multi-functional in its endeavors ranging from organized events for the families of autistic children to working to receive NIH funding for John Hopkins University Research studies on Epigenetic Autism. On Wednesday, February 11th, 2015, Alex was scheduled to return to court before Judge Walsh with the expectation that he was going to be removed from probation and on his way to rebuilding his life into a new reality and would finally be able to grieve over the losses he had suffered but was, for over five years, unable to try to put to rest or at least try to figure out his new reality without his little boy. Judge Walsh was almost jovial when she looked at his progress report and said, "All right, Mr. Kopystenski, as usual you have done everything you were supposed to and then some.". Before she could go any further, the DA interrupted Judge Walsh to advise her that my son Lex had gotten into trouble on two separate incidents and wanted him remanded into jail. The Judge looked absolutely confused, as did we and after a few minutes, Judge Walsh decided to postpone the court date by one month for whatever is going to be the outcome of what was a confusing situation. Upon returning home we were called by the probation officer to instruct my son to come into their office by 2:30p.m., which is where enough became too much. Upon arrival Lex was called into the back area and within about ten minutes I was asked if my car could be searched. I gave the probation officer my car key and then another officer came out to ask me some questions. Unbeknownst to me, I was being detained with nonsense questions until I asked for my keys and my son. The officer then told me that the probation officer had left with Lex, going to my house to search the premises. While driving, which I am not supposed to do anymore, the officer called me and told me that my house keys were under the outside mat and that my son was being taken to jail. I was informed that when I gave them my car key, they removed my house key from my key ring, without my permission, which is "theft" and by the time I walked into my empty house I found that they had not just searched the house, they had destroyed and vandalized my son's quarters and had broken a number of very expensive pieces of furniture. They had found nothing and then I realized that they had entered my living space and taken my marijuana out of the back of my closet and charged my son with possession. I called and tried to explain that they needed to return what they considered "contraband" but I considered a prescribed medication that was important for the relief to my failing eyesight, my crippling arthritis and my fibromyalgia. When I advised them, as had my son that while in Nevada, medical marijuana is legal, I have a VA pharmacy card that is valid in all 50 states and if there are no commissaries or legalized medical pot, according to Federal law that was passed in 2010, I can go to any VA clinic to pick up what was necessary for me to bit suffer grin the pain behind my eyes and into my head, as well as the anxiety I suffered since these people began harassing my son for no reason. My son is also my legal caregiver, appointed by the VA and removing him without at least ten days notice was not only a violation of Federal Law, but was the intermediary between my ability to function, take my medicine, go to the doctors and to even climb a flight of stars etc . My son, also known as DJ Lexo, has not only served his time for whatever reason that those three police officers who were just deliberately careless, while he is without the son that made his Sun light up his life, but hasn't even had time to grieve because the local government decided that if losing the child that he loved more than I have ever known a man to love being Giovanni's Dad. Enough is enough. Free my son. Free DJ Lexo. If you care, please sign this petition and share it with all your friends and followers. My son, Alexander Kopystenski does not deserve what is being brought upon him and without him being here with me during my present medical situation, my own life expectancy is in jeopardy. It does not matter that Nevada Parole & Probation does not recognize Federal Law but it does matter that they illegally stole entry into my home, destroyed my home, stole my medication and then removed my legal fiduciary and full time caregiver for reasons known only to the six month educated criminal defense trade schoolers but they are being allowed to destroy what is left of my family, my son and I are basically at the mercy of these high school graduates regardless of the federal laws, the VA, the Eighth District Court and all the medical professionals. PLEASE SIGN, PLEASE SHARE AND PLEASE HELP.
