Allow "Company Police" In The State of Florida!Company Police will be able to take away the call load on the local law enforcement departments and bring safer communities to the State of Florida making it a safer and better destination for residents and tourists. Doing so will bring more tourists, jobs and funds for the State of Florida. Many times, security companies call on the local police department for a crime that they are witnessing and the local police department is tied up with another call. Allowing Company Police will bring a better response time and get more criminals off the street as well as bringing the call load off of the local police departments.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Stanfield

Do NOT parole pedophile Arthur SobeyInmate Arthur Sobey was sentenced to 25-30 years for the systematic, manipulative prolonged sexual assault of a child under the age of 10. A 404 hearing during trial heard many but not all of the voices of children he had systematically abused prior. His next parole date is scheduled for February 2014. Even if he is not paroled the criminal justice system is mandated to release him in May of 2015 after only 15 years. Children are not safe as long as he is allowed to roam. If released he will have enormous resources since the military chose not to take away his pension even though law allowed it. Keep your children safe from this predator. Speak out against parole for Arthur Sobey.68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Debra Perrell

Gov. Schweitzer, please meet with Chelsea ManningChelsea Manning, fka Bradley Manning, is an individual who took a personal risk to expose the duplicity and, in cases, criminality of US foreign policy, especially in Iraq. Manning meets the definition of a "prisoner of conscience". Manning was held in conditions that were determined to be *illegal* pre-trial punishment. Manning was denied her right to a speedy trial.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carl Nyberg

PETITION TO INDICT CORRUPT LUZERNE COUNTY OFFICIALSFacts Which Support Grand Jury Indictment On April 29, 2010, members of Dallas 6 covered their cell windows and doors with bedding in order to protect themselves from impending physical harm because officers were beating prisoners who submitted information to an outside abuse report. Defendants, Dallas guards acted to assist one another in viciously beating the Dallas 6 on video tape and acted to cover up these assaults by creating false official reports to conceal the abuse. On or shortly after 4-29-2010, members of Dallas 6 received misconducts for refusing to obey an order. Dallas 6 by and thru the Human Rights Coalition in May of 2010 filed a criminal complaint against the Dallas guards in relation to the events. On June 14th, 2010 a member of the Dallas 6 filed a civil action against Luzerne County District Attorney and Dallas prison officials for turning a blind eye to assaults and refusing to investigate criminal violations committed by guards in solitary confinement. Dallas prison lawsuit was printed in “Wilkes-Barre Times Leader” newspaper on June 17, 2010. On June 19th, 2010, the District Attorney’s office sent SCI Dallas a letter to investigate the assault claims of the lawsuit against Dallas and Luzerne prosecutors. June 2010, Dallas prison appointed Lieutenant John Martin to investigate claims within the lawsuit, and in the process of Martin being appointed to investigate the lawsuit, Lieutenant Martin sent reports of April 29th, 2010 to state trooper C.J. Wilson and in turn fabricated riot charges. State police and the district attorney waited until Judge Wetzel denied injunction on civil action in July 2010 and immediately fabricated “riot” and “aggravated harassment” charges. In April 2010 there was no mention of a riot at Dallas prison in any of the prison reports, however after civil and criminal complaints were filed against them they retaliated and changed the incident into a “riot.” Lieutenant John Martin knew there was no riot, so he waited until a lawsuit and criminal complaint was filed against Dallas and sent reports to state police and the district attorney. In early August of 2010, the Human Rights Coalition released a report about the incident, describing a protest and bloody assaults by guards. On August 2nd, 2010 Human Rights Coalition attended a House Judiciary Committee hearing on solitary confinement and mentioned the reports of cruel treatment at Dallas prison involving the Dallas 6. On August 18th, 2010, Judge Tupper sent Dallas 6 riot charges by registered mail. The Dallas 6 were not read their Miranda rights and furthermore the complaints did not mention who was allegedly “assaulted” or “harassed” in this incident, even though one of the Dallas 6 was charged with assaulting six officers whose names are not mentioned in the complaint or affidavit of probable cause. Without being arraigned or given minimum disclosure of the witnesses or victims in this case, the Dallas 6 were taken to two separate preliminary hearings and denied the right to call “witnesses” on their behalf (September and November 2010). The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had 180 days to bring each defendant to trial. The Commonwealth claims to have initiated these charges in July 2010. This would mean the Commonwealth had until January 2011 to bring each defendant to trial, at the very latest February 2011. President Judge Thomas F. Burke has been notified of all violations mentioned herein and has not acted to correct these violations of law. As President Judge, per PA Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 116, Judge Burke has the authority and the duty to bring his judicial district officers in compliance with the law. It is a legal maxim that he who condones a bad act conditions it. Here we are nearly 4 years later and the court, DOC and state police are still pressing on with a case illegally and without regard to the law or proper criminal procedures. Even though the Kid for Cash Scandal has come to an end, the corruption in Luzerne County remains. The defendants are acting above the law and should be properly reprimanded. Luzerne county courts, the state police and the DOC should be on trial, not the Dallas 6.

freedomhistoric examples of police brutality and the fact that anyone in america can fall victim to the unjust horrors of the prison industrial complex make changes to the status quo inevitable. these changes won't result from those people benefiting from the system but the victims. the time is now to advocate for freedom and not passively stand aside, indifferent, while many of our fellow americans are abused by unjust men who abuse authority we trusted in their hands.154 of 200 SignaturesCreated by chris allen

Schenectady man highly over sentenced for a crime...must readLawrence's sentence was way to much and it needs to be looked into. There were many "behind the scene" issues that were not brought to the publics knowledge. Again the connections the victim had. The judge even stated to Lawrence "this is a excessive sentence, but were going to give it to you anyways". One of his codefendents is on his third felony and again will be walking the streets before Lawrence. Lawrence was promised the world and than given two weeks to decide on a 15 year sentence. Again, nobody hurt, nobody injured, no fire, no previous record, worked hard to com home on bail and did just that. His sentence was wrong, it needs to be looked into further or reduced greatly. He has much support, everyone that knows him knows the amazing person he is. We will support and fight this.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by crystal

The Legalization of all Cannabis ProductsWhat allows every great civilization the ability to thrive and prosper? The answer is finding a material that allows its user to evolve. This was true in the Stone Age, it was true in the Bronze Age, and it is was true in the Iron Age. The question remains has our evolution reached its ultimate potential? I would like to think that we have the ability to advance, however with the current laws and the Medias use of misinformation, we have proven that indeed, as a culture, that our ultimate potential may be forfeit. In 1937 the Bureau of Narcotics Commissioner Harry J Anslinger brought about accusations that Hemp needed to be banned because of its violent “effect on the degenerate races”. Yet in truth all the hemp in the world couldn’t get you high. So as a result, not only was Hemp banned, but Marijuana as well. Even though the AMA (American Medical Association) protested this ban, the current ban still exists for most states. So the question remains, why was hemp and marijuana banned? Is it because one acre of hemp can replace four acres of trees? Is it because NASA researchers have a fuel created from hemp that will eliminate between 50-70% of our oil consumption? Yes, these things are true. And let me remind you, hemp/marijuana more commonly referred to as cannabis, has the ability to be used in tens of thousands of applications. It is an alternative replacement for steel, it’s a replacement for wood, it’s a replacement for cotton, and the list goes on. Are you starting to get a sense of why it was banned, why Nixon brought about “The War on Drugs” to ensure that these corporations stayed in power? I know what your thinking, damn hippies! So let me tell you a story about a little girl by the name of Charlotte Figi. Charlotte suffers from a rare disease known as Dravet Syndrome also known as myoclonic epilepsy. This disease at one point in time caused Charlotte to have as many as 300 grand mal seizures a week. Desperate for a solution her father Matt did some research and found a boy with similar symptoms. He found that this young boy was given medical marijuana. Upon this discovery he turned to the Stanley Brothers in Colorado. The brothers were in the process of crossbreeding a strain of marijuana that was low in THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana, and high in CBD, also known as Cannabidoil, which is used to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, nausea, and inhibits the growth of cancer cell. Charlotte’s seizures went from 300 a week to 2-3 a month. Now are you really going to sit and pathetically attempt to defend the ban on Cannabis when this material has more potential to help our civilization than any other? Let’s look at this from another perspective, the economy. Where are the majority of our products made? It’s probably somewhere in Asia. Now I ask you, “What is the main reason prices have risen”? Does anyone really know? They say it’s because the materials needed to manufacture these products have increased in price. Did the Earth raise its prices? Doubtful, yet the shelf prices increase, and even though lowering the self price would increase sales, thus requiring more products to be made and enhancing the job market, the prices keep soaring. So how does Cannabis help? Hemp is very easy to grow, not to mention it reconstitutes the soil where it is grown, thus helping the soil recover from our conventional crops and pesticides. So let’s look at it this way, the average individual can grow an acre or less, with very little maintenance. From a manufacturing standpoint many new small businesses have the ability to rise up and create solutions for its use, even if the Copyright Office does get paid off to suppress their patents. Whether that be bricks, resins, or even beverages. But the best part is that these local businesses won’t need to order from large corporations or overseas, they’ll but need to go to the local Co-Op and purchase the hemp they need or just grow their own, as it can be grown most everywhere, and isn’t community what we are trying to get back to? But what this really does is put our countries financial edge back in the hands of the small business. What it really does it tell the rest of the worlds manufactures that sub-par materials will no longer be accepted! So with that I leave you to think about this, the Department of Justice has declined to take actions against Colorado and Washington State. There are approximately 15 states that have already put medical marijuana to use. It is proven that the initial law to get marijuana banned was done so though the guise of racism. The government used its judicial powers to help promote the financial growth of private corporations by banning cannabis, which in itself is a blatant insult to the freedom of choice that American’s consider an inalienable right. This being a relative fact since it contradicts our ability to hold sway on our own evolution as well as the cleanliness of our environment. And lastly, we know marijuana has opened the door to understanding the brain in not only humans but animals as well. This is done through the discovery of the endogenous cannabinoids; anandamide and 2-AG. It is these two chemicals that help the brain regulate and tune its own synaptic inputs. So what I want this petition to accomplish is to get each individual state, just as I want Kentucky to do with this one, and that is to fight for the legalization of all Cannabis products. I want the people of Kentucky to hold a public vote, not a private or sealed ballot vote, but a public vote where the People, the population itself, can be recognized. For this is the only way that the tally will not suffer the manipulation of corporations or be refuted by those who are in fact fascist and philosophically debilitating, which in my opinion is the only true way to ensure that the government doesn’t cheat its people. And indeed I encourage all other states to follow suit and tell Britain and the rest of the...13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Higgins

Greenpoint's McGuinness Boulevard: "Death Boulevard"A little over two weeks ago, I was hit by a car while crossing Greenpoint's McGuinness Boulevard en route home. Last night, a friend shared a photograph online of ambulances parked on McGuinness where a pedestrian had been struck and killed by two cars -- just two blocks from where I had been hit. I was very lucky. 32-year-old Nicole Detweiler was not. With nearby schools, increases to Greenpoint's population, and cyclists, McGuinness Boulevard needs speed and security cameras to be installed as soon as possible to hold speeding drivers accountable for their dangerous actions.1,765 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Schuyler K.
