WE ARE WELL TRAINED PROFESSIONAL BUS OPERATORS AND SOME PEOPLE DO THE DUMBEST THINGS WHILE CROSSING THE STREETS OF NY. WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS AND REFUSE TO BE TREATED AS SUCH!!!!!!

My son was convicted of a crime and at the time he was 18 and now 39 years old. He has been in Texas Department of Corrections since 1994. He was given a life sentence, with a possibility of porale in 40 years. According to prison time, he has been in there 40 years. Prison time is somewhat different from regular time. For some reason the 40 years seems to never come. So I'm asking if you would please sign my petition. Please allow my son a fair chance for a parole hearing.

We need to restore, respect, integrity, honestly, loyalty, and set an example by having leaders that lead, have vision and set examples by following the laws they create. No one is above the law.

In Santa Cruz County, California, many people are refused their prescribed medication when they go to Santa Cruz County Jail. The prescribed medication that they take regularly, under the direction of their doctor. It can be very dangerous and even life threatening, to be suddenly cut off of a prescribed medication, especially when it is against the advice and direction of the doctor who knows them and prescribed the medication! But this hasn't stopped the medical director at this jail, Dr. Terry B. Lapid, from behaving so recklessly... This is why I'm hoping this petition might bring change to how things are done when it comes to inmates receiving their important, prescription medications... I know firsthand how dangerous this can be, because my boyfriend recently went to jail. He is prescribed methadone. When he got to the jail, they were very eager to take a urine sample. After many attempts to find out what they wanted the sample for, he found out... They told him that if he tested dirty for ANYTHING else, he would not be given his prescribed medication. That includes testing "dirty" for marijuana, alcohol, or any other prescription medications that he couldn't show proof of having at the time, etc... ANYTHING ELSE!! My boyfriend smokes pot, and had a prescription for it, but it expired a few months previously. This meant he was cut off, suddenly, from methadone, which is a very important medication for some people to take! It causes complete chaos, cutting someone off of a medication like that suddenly! And not only that, but his doctor who prescribes him methadone wanted him to continue taking it! Dr. Lapid went against his doctors advice, and had complete disregard for my boyfriend's wellbeing, health and LIFE! People's lives are NOT a game to be played with! Like my boyfriend, many people in jail are waiting for their guilt or innocence to be determined in court. So this means that someone who may not even be guilty of a crime, are having their lives thrown into upheaval, being denied their prescription medication, for no reason! They are being punished for nothing! It is NOT justice, it is completely unethical and recklace for Dr. Lapid to ignore the advice and direction of a person's regular doctor. These are people's LIVES! If Dr. Lapid refuses to give EVERYONE their prescribed medication, when the prescribing doctor is advising that they continue taking it, he needs to lose his job, and be replaced with someone who can do the job properly.

For too long we have let Pat Lynch be a divisive & destructive voice in our great city. It's time for a change.

Stanley L. Cohen is an attorney, international human rights activist, and a true American Hero fighting for justice and defending our Constitution. Stanley is an advocate for many people the government would like to silence or put in jail: Palestinian freedom fighters, Muslim preachers, North American natives living on Indian reservations, marijuana dealers, anti-war protestors, radical squatters, the homeless, "hacktivists", anti-Zionists and everyone in between. Mr. Cohen has been unfairly targeted by U.S. authorities who seek to silence him and end his law practice. Recently, after years of unfair prosecution and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees, Mr. Cohen has pled guilty to charges of "impeding the IRS" and has been sentenced to 18 months in prison beginning on January 6, 2015. In October 2014 Stanley Cohen traveled to the Middle East to negotiate the release of American Aid Worker Peter Abdul-Rahman Kassig who was held hostage by ISIS captors. Talks to save Peter Abdul-Rahman Kassig went on for weeks, backed by the U.S. Kassig was killed by his Isis captors on 16 November after one of the prime negotiators, a Muslim cleric, was arrested and imprisoned in Jordan. See the full story in the Guardian and you will understand how vital it is that Stanley remain free: http://www.theguardian.com/news/2014/dec/18/-sp-the-race-to-save-peter-kassig Stanley is HERO, a dear friend and trusted advisor. He always puts the cause of justice, human rights and the needs of others for legal representation above himself. One minute in prison is one minute too much. Stanley must remain free to continue his lifelong dedication to the practice of law. Please stand together to seek justice for Stanley L. Cohen and ask President Obama to pardon him and keep him free.

Patrick Lynch, President of the NYC Police Union, recently told a gathering of police officers "Our friends, we’re courteous to them. Our enemies, extreme discretion. The rules are made by them to hurt you. Well now we’ll use those rules to protect us.” The enemies he is talking about are anyone who opposes the grand jury decision in the case of Eric Garner, those who oppose police policy. He has even identified NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio as an enemy. His thinly veiled threat to use "extreme discretion" is very dangerous when coming from the head of the union that represents the largest police force in the country and rivals many national militaries in the world. Patrick Lynch is a a dangerous extremist who should not be leading the NYC Police Union.

From civil rights oppression to sexually assaulting children, the moral elite and privileged have been running the empire of evil for too long. Time to bring back equality, justice and boils. Release Satan from Hell and reinstate his license to prosecute the wicked.

We seek transparency in the Eric Garner case.

My petition is about my fiance, our kids have suffered enough, PLEASE review his case, it was political,😘 The facts of this case are that we both had worked at the Sheriffs Department for many of years and they tried to control our lives and we both decided to move on when we did that Jack started working for the county and two weeks prior to all of this Jack was pulled over by a major and asked what he was doing with a sign for sheriff in his front yard (which was the opposing sheriff, and not the one that had been sheriff for the past 20 plus years) the major said who do you think you are after all the paychecks (current sheriff) has signed for you jack told him well he isn't signing them anymore and was probably kind of a smartass and said that it was none of his business who we voted for the major got t'd off and told him you just wait I'll get you you son of a bleep... Two weeks later the SWAT team came in and arrested us for possession possession with intent to sell trafficking and child endangerment (the trafficking and child endangerment were later dropped) there was absolutely no evidence that they found on our property or self. Eventually after retaining a lawyer and filing for a motion of discovery there was a tape from our current roommate that we were trying to help out who was apparently an undercover and on the tape it was my roommate asking me if I had any medicine for his girlfriend because she had just cut her hand up and glass and had no insurance I of course gave him some pills and told him I did not need any money but he convinced me to let him give me some money after all that we had done for him and giving him a place to stay I eventually agreed and took the money.. This is the only evidence that they had whatsoever Jack was not even at our property when this took place.. Jack's lawyer convinced him to go in front of the judge and that him and his counselor had everything taken care of and he was going to get 6 months in a rehabilitation facility. It was all a lie it was all a setup when he went in front of the judge the judge gave him 10 years he has currently completed six and a half years.. He is 100 percent innocent!!!! I must add that I have spent all of our savings on lawyer and appeals, when finally the last lawyer told me he would not take any more money from me because it was a complete set up and I was never going to get him out.. #TRUESTORY😓😢😪😥 PLEASE GOD HELP MY FAMILY!!!

Torture is illegal as well as morally reprehensible. Our nation has been perceived by the world as the enviable example of liberty and justice. Every citizen of the U.S. must now suffer with the knowledge that our past leaders abused their authority by authorizing the use of torture on detainees post 09/11/01. We can't change history, but we can punish those who dare bring this nation down with their illegal use of torture.

I am from Puerto Rico. All my countrymen and women alike; despite our different political differences want him released. It is time that he comes home.
