A small faction of House Republicans funded by the Kochs are conspiring to destroy the government of the USA by blocking enforcement of the ACA and demanding other harmful concessions. They should be charged accordingly.

This town doesn't need 5 cops or a photo ticket radar. Using the police force to collect funds ruins peoples faith in the role of an officer.

Government officials are not above the rules of conduct or the laws of these United States. Speaker Boehner and Representative Cruz have conspired to hinder the government within the definition of sedition and the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution, and must be held accountable.

In 2008, I served on a jury that convicted a man of second degree murder. Two weeks ago, I received a long letter from the convicted felon. He obtained my name and subsequently, "through a personal investigator friend", my home address. What was meant to be an important commitment to civic duty, has turned into a deeply stressful situation and fear for my family's safety. This convicted murderer should have never been able to obtain my name.

On Thursday, September 26, immigrant detainees being held at South Bay Jail in Boston, Massachusetts announced a public campaign to fight inhumane treatment inside the jail. Detainees cited food safety issues and denial of access to standard services as just some of the conditions which they are forced to endure. After attempts to raise their concerns to prison officials proved unsuccessful, on Thursday, October 3, over 200 detainees at South Bay initiated a hunger strike. Sign the petition to show your solidarity with the detainees and join them in insisting that their demands be met. ----- El jueves 26 de Septiembre, los inmigrantes presos en la cárcel de South Bay en Boston, Massachusetts anunciaron una campana publica contra el tratamiento inhumano por el cual están sometidos dentro la cárcel.

all people are Judged the same no Matter what the offense. Each case should be separated into separate categories

Personally affected by manslaughter by cop. Tell of the "training game" that was in action that day of the shooting. Is Uncontrolled firing of ammo no threat to the public ? Excessive Force is not "Thatta Boy' Acceptable!

I am affected by the situation of sending young men in California out of state to serve their time. I have a son who is incarcerated in Prison. He would be sent to another state where I would not be able to visit him.

I am a clinical psychologist and have had the experience of working with a potentially dangerous delusional patient with access to a gun. Because this patient's delusions did not focus on one particular, identifiable person, I was unable to take any action to protect others or myself. The recent episodes in Washington, D.C., as well as other recent acts of violence by the mentally ill, such as the the Newtown, CT massacre, make this an urgent issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

My son,who is 6 years old,has been abused by his father..I am trying desperately to keep him safe..the court wants me to bring him,against his will to 2 supervised visits a week with his abuser,and wants me to ENCOURAGE contact..my son is afraid of his father,and is begging me not to take him..if I don't,I'm held in contempt of court..legally a child can't decide not to see his or her abuser until they are 13! We teach our children at a very young age the difference between right and wrong. We teach our children that if someone is hurting them,to speak up..then find out no one is listening? Making a child see their abuser is only furthering the trauma they have already experienced..please help to give these children the voices they need to feel safe..

The recent death of an innocent working college level female killed on a sunny afternoon by bullets fired in court yard from a gun operated by a neighborhood "Thug" is cause for Alarm. The safety and security of our communities in New York City has been jeopardized, by the repeated "public shootings" that continues to claim innocent lives. Further proof that New York State Prisons have become an adaptable place of rest; no longer serving as a deterrent, for Juvenile and adults committing "public" firearms related crimes.

I am a disabled U.S. army veteran. I believe in true democracy and the rule of law that should govern it. If you read the actual text of the U.S. Criminal Code, it is absolutely clear that the current Congress is "by force trying to prevent and delay the execution of a law"--the Affordable Care Act. I have seen no evidence that anyone is holding Congress to the law, and that's why I'm starting this petition. No one should be above the law.
