Many police are violating citizens rights. Too many citizens are being killed and abused over simple misdemeanors. For desk appearance tickets, none violent offences citizens are being arrested and sent to jail for the charges to be dismissed or they are given the desk appearance ticket THEY Should HAVE BEEN Given To BEGIN with. Until police are charged with false arrest wasting time and money. The police will continue violating citizens right because there is no deterrent for them. When the citizen demands to know why they are being detained and they object, they are then charged with resisting arrest, whereas they shouldn't have been arrested. Until police are penalized and charged with violating citizens rights, breaking the law they are suppose to uphold, they will continue to act like they are above the law.

Recently, I met a young woman through film circles. We had an intense, loving, passionate relationship. We also worked together on 3 independent films, all of which I was responsible for casting her in. Then one day, with no reasoning or sense of couth or tact, she abruptly ends the relationship on all levels. She went from "I love you so much, I wish I could do more for you, I feel closer to you than ever before" to "Get out of my life forever" all in a matter of less than 36 hours time. I discovered later that she got all she can out of me, wrung me out, and now I needed to be thrown onto the scrap heap with the other men she has done this to. She is ill-intended, wicked, a bad seed and a destroyer of innocent men. She gets personal pleasure from doing these things and it gives her a sense of power. When I pleaded for a reason, she went to the courts and filed an order of protection. She put down on official court documents that I beat, raped, strangled, menaced, stalked, harassed, and tried to murder her (and her cat) several times. She accused me of everything you could possibly think of. She had tried to destroy me in every way possible. She has destroyed relationships between friends of mine, mutual acquaintances, film colleagues and even family by these allegations. I came to court with a mountain of evidence speaking against her words, but the judge refused to look at a single document unless we went to trial, which we were highly advised against by the judge as a low-level scare tactic. In retrospect, not going to trial is one of the biggest regrets I have in my entire life. I am told by several attorneys that this can be turned around with proper representation. I cannot afford a high-profile attorney to assist me. The evidence I have since compiled in my favor consists of emails, texts, facebook messages, photographs, a multitude of notarized character reference letters from friends and even exes who have known me for decades, including a woman I am currently involved with. I even have time sheets from my job to speak against particular nights she accused me of "stalking" her. She, through the courts, also managed to get me put on a national domestic violence registry with a snap of a finger. I never had a chance to show my evidence or truly tell my side of the story. She was never fully sequestered regarding elaborating on her accusations. They were believed and acted upon simply by her saying the word and coming to court. Through research I have learned that hundreds of thousands of men across the country are wrongly accused of such things and have their lives ruined. This is apparently a woman's best weapon against a man, whether true or not. And it seems to work every single time. Please help me make an example of this case and turn it around. In these circumstances, justice is evidently not at all blind. In addition: I am a real person with a real issue and desperate to be listened to for less than 30 seconds. What you read below may be shocking and frightening to you. But hopefully it will make you think twice before you get too involved with a woman whom you think you can trust. And knowing these few facts may just save you from a world of pain and drama, including a completely ruined life down the road. The person who did this to me WILL eventually be outed, when the time is right. -60-70% of "rape" allegations by women each year are 100% false. -Restraining Orders are, according to many lawyers and judges, considered to be the "new fad of this decade's way of breaking up". -Orders of Protection are given away by Judges like candy...because, well...why not?? -If there is an Order of Protections, and the woman calls or contacts YOU, say by phone, then YOU can and will go to jail simply by picking up the phone and saying "Hello?" Why? Because you "communicated" with her. Her making the first communication effort is no matter to the courts. -When a man is simply accused of battery or rape, even in family court only, he automatically is put on a National Domestic Violence registry, sometimes for life. IT DOES NOT MATTER if the allegations are 100% false. A woman only need to just say "he did it" for it to be true and this is REGARDLESS of ANY and ALL solid proof a man may have to present in court. -Women in a relationship will very often at least once engage in rough or kinky sex involving spanking, wrestling, roughhousing or role-playing so that she may (if needed) use this as ammunition down the road to say a man hit her or mistreated her, even if it was an act she specifically requested or condoned. -Justice is rarely to never blind, and it is common knowledge among folks that work in the law that women have "carte-blanche" to say whatever they wish about a man to anyone they wish and never be punished for perjury, defamation, slander or contempt. -Hundreds of thousands of men per year have their lives ruined by women who do this to them. They lose jobs, families, friends, colleagues, money and their reputation. It does not matter if their record is clean and they are and have been law-abiding since birth.

We are the people and deserve a second chance! We all have one life to live, we all make mistakes so why take that away from us "The People" !

I have been doing prisoner advocacy for 15 years and have been working on this specific issue for over a year and a half and found noone listening or caring. The Center for Investigative Journalism (www.wisconsinwatch.org) has done series on the abuse and now we must demand an independent investigation. Both staff and prisoners are harmed in this situation and it is our responsibility to help.

To allow for minimum state inmates monthly father visits so they can interact with their children. Where they can play ball, sit in the grass, build with blocks, and just interact with their children.

Too many peaceful marijuana smokers incarcerated. Huge waste of our tax dollars.

We have a mandate to turn the tide, now. Our laws do not reflect the belief or desires of more than a majority the people. Certain organizations, i.e. MADD , have caused the pendulum to swing much to far, leaving us with a knee jerk reaction to a crime, in place of a reasonable approach to a real problem. The mandatory sentence for offenses exceed the sentence given to violent criminals for crimes like rape and murder. We have huge numbers of persons locked away for what are non violent crimes, the punishment does not fit the crime. My 33 year old son is looking at 25 years to life for a DUI and as I look at the laws I am floored by the insanity. We have problems with "substance abuse" in our society, no doubt, but locking a person away does not address the problem. We need some changes in our laws so that justice is reflected in the sentences handed down to the humans that are suffering with such afflictions.

My petition is to bring my husband home a free man. He was wrongfully convicted. In 2009 our family was going on vacation to Galveston, Texas to spend some time with our best friends. My best friends' daughter and our daughter were best friends for 10 years. Their daughter practically lived with us as her parents worked all the time. We took her everywhere with us, including on vacation. Two weeks before we went on vacation, she shared with my husband and me that she had been messing around with a guy in the back of his pickup truck. She was about to have her very first womanly check up and knew that her parents could very well be about to find out she was no longer a virgin. We were gone on vacation for a little over a week. When we returned home she told her parents that my husband sexually assaulted her. We went to trial in August 2012. During the trial she was caught in several lies. She admitted that during the time she made these accusations she was having a consensual sexual relationship with a 35 year old man. Keep in mind she was only 14. She told the court that the only thing she slept in was a tank top and her panties. We produced a photo into evidence that was time stamped and dated and it was her sleeping in a T-shirt with a tank top under it and shorts. So while I now have 4 children at home to raise, she is out partying and drinking. We have always been good people. We just do not understand how something like this could have happened to us. Please, I beg of you to take the time to help me bring my husband home to us. He was incarcerated August 28, 2012. If you have any questions about any if this, including the case, please do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you in advance.

According to Section 1 of the 13th Amendment of The Constitution, passed by Congress January 31, 1865, ratified December 6, 1865, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." In today’s America, poverty and drug possession are treated as crimes. That’s what happens when you wage war on drugs and poverty. The victims and their families are just victims of warfare in which they have their power stripped from them—bad schools, no opportunity, no justice, little to no health care and imprisonment. It’s a completely one-sided war. So I have a question, should someone be subjected to slavery just because they’ve found themselves in such a desperate situation that they end up prostituting or addicted to drugs? What about smoking and/or selling a plant that once legalized made millions of dollars in taxes in one state in just a day? If you answered no, sign the petition so that we can win freedom for everyone. It's time for America to live up to its own standard.
