• Rick Scott - Pardon Marissa Alexander
    Marissa Alexander was a victim of DV. Her husband beat her while she was pregnant. "After yet another beating, Alexander fired a warning shot, which traveled through a wall and into the ceiling. That shot saved her life. Prosecutor Angela Corey did not take into account that Marissa Alexander: Had a court injunction against her crazed husband; Had Given Birth 9 Days Earlier; Was trained to use a weapon and earned a concealed weapons permit." - http://justiceformarissa.blogspot.com/ She now has 2 years of home arrest, where she can pursue higher education and can leave for certain things such as picking up and dropping of her child, etc. But, she will still have a felony on her record, which will prevent her from voting, getting student aid for school, and could keep her from being hired, among other things. We are asking Gov. Rick Scott to please pardon her so she can have a completely free life ahead of her to pursue anything she wishes.

  • Restorative Justice: An Effective, Compassionate, Inclusive Alternative to Our Criminal Justice S...
    For over ten years, as a Professor of Mathematics and Criminal Justice, I have specialized in teaching Alternative Dispute Resolution and Restorative Justice to Criminal Justice Majors at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire. I have seen these prospective "cops on the street" go from "no way" to "this could have really made a difference in my friend's life". If police departments would begin a Restorative Justice Program for youth offenders, it would have significant positive impact on the youth, the community, and their department. It is an opportunity to change the dialog from confrontation to cooperation.

  • Prohibit the sale of pseudoephedrine to those who have been convicted and for whom it is illegal...
    I am in a current legal battle at the moment having to go to court and face what could be a felony if found guilty for purchasing an off-brand cold medicine Wal-phran I purchased at my local Walgreens. I have prior convictions for running a meth lab in which I did almost a total of 10 yearrs. When I was raided they found a empty pickle jar and"no drugs". I paid my debt to society along with my family who also suffered for my mistakes. Back in December 2014, my mother who has ongoing medical conditions got the flu and her being elder she asked me to get her something from our local pharmacy. I was aware of signs in the pharmacy that warned of your name being submitted in a electronic database and no person was authorized to the purchase of no more than 3 boxes of pseudoephedrine per month but I was unfamiliar with the law that had went into effect approximately a year prior of not permitting to sell to someone that had my prior convictions. Well earlier in the month my home got raided in which they found sandwich bags--clean ones unused, food scales that weigh pounds (they were weight watchers scales), but no drugs. When I read the warrant I found they issued it because I had a warrant in the county where my mother lives for purchasing her medicine. One box I have bought in ten years and wouldn't have if I knew I wasn't allowed. I thought it was illegal for the sale too. I thought If I was doing wrong I should be protected in the system some way or another. My mother who still has the medicine a box that had a total of 20 pills and 16 still in the box. Now I'm looking at a felony conviction in which I am guilty of and wish I had known I was doing wrong. My home was raided for a possible meth lab in which there was not one and they tore my home up for the third time when I have already been punished 10 yrs and learned my lesson and then some. Now with prior convictions along with this felony I can been maxed out in years for something I did to be help to my mother. I want to keep others from running into this problem like I have. If everything goes electronically in a database why shouldn't these databases put up a red flag and not allow for such sale to those that shouldn't be permitted those sales. People that max out on the number of boxes that they can get a month are shown a red flag if they can not buy anymore, and 3 boxes is more than anyone should need in a month so why do they not get a notice not permitting them the sales. Thank you for hearing and taking my concern into consideration.

  • Support for Clemency
    King&Spalding, a law firm participating in Clemency Project 2014,a national effort to pursue clemency for federal prisoners, has been assigned my case for possible clemency eligibility. I ask that if you know about or have heard about such injustice that occurred in my case or others, please support me. If given the chance I will be productive member of society. I will show you and society how a person with no hope can still mature and better themselves via the rehabilitative programs that are offered by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. If the 20 years that I have already served is not enough to pay my debt to society, give me more years to do, but don't leave me with this sentence of DEATH

  • Keep Our Brier Police - Don't Outsource to MLT!
    Brier has one of the lowest crime rates in the state. A strong Brier Police presence helps keep our community safe, deters criminal activity and strengthens our property values. I'm signing this petition to send this message to the Mayor and City Council: 1) There needs to be transparency in this decision. Community input should be actively sought and decisions should not be made without extensive outreach with taxpayers, and 2) We need to invest in our Brier Police force to keep it strong, not dismantle it by outsourcing functions to another city

  • Law Enforcement Only Registry in Vermont
    Vermont has had critical errors on the audits that have been performed since Act 58 passed in 2009, costing the State of Vermont money; with the financial constraints that the State finds itself in, now is the time to save money. With the registry bloated by the low, medium, and moderate risk offenders, the Department of Public Safety has less time to monitor and track the offenders who are high risk and judged to pose a greater risk to the community.

  • Mayor Jordan: Independent Accountability for Law Enforcement Needed
    We were the victims of an extortion demand and death threat, and we do not feel that we were treated fairly during the investigation, the investigation was not handled professionally, nor was the threat taken seriously and our safety the first priority. There currently does not exist an independent citizen committee to review cases such as ours, and we think this is the first step to bring attention to the need for such a committee.
