  • The Need for Legal Jurisdiction in Cases of Mentally Ill Persons Who Pose a Compelling Threat to ...
    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.

  • Give abused children a voice
    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..

  • NYS PRISONER EXCHANGE PROGRAM
    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.

  • Impose Fines on 113th Congress: Guilty of Sedition
    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.

  • Say no to charter high school at Grand and Long Avenues in Chicago.
    Chicago is a city that is turning more violent by the day. Adults need to use common sense so as not to needlessly endanger children. Having two different high schools so close together will cause a friction that does not need to be there. This whole situation could be defused by moving the site of the charter school by a few city blocks.

  • Justice for Thomas L.Hicks
    Thomas L.Hicks was convicted of a alledge sexual assult crime he did not do.There was no investigation, and I/We ask you to research all the information regarding this terrible injustice done on him.This is a case which should not have gone to trial since there is compelling evidence of his innocence.Eld. Theodore Culter who is the Pastor of St.James COGIC presented the court a dvd tape showing Mr.Hicks whereabout on the date and time in question.The dvd tape shows Mr. Hicks was at a church on Bainbridge Boulevard from 3pm until 5pm.Which the Court/Judge Dean Sword specifically notes that the defendant's Mr. Hicks presence at church. Judge Dean Sword ignore Eld.Cutler testimony and said that Eld.Cutler testimony wasn't crediable which the tape proves other wise.We would like to know why wasn't Ms.Oneil subponea since she stated that it wasn't true. We are asking for a full investigation and a overturn of his wrongful conviction.Thank You.

  • Justice for my disabled son
    My disabled son and myself were denied the right to fair and impartial hearing. A judge refused me the civil right to represent myself in court, on multiple occasions. He also refused witnesses and evidence into the trial. He ordered my son to remain in the custody of a unfit parent. I was married for 25 years to an abusive man. We have a disabled son who is 22 years old. I was his sole caregiver from birth until he was 17 years old. My husband filed for divorce. Early in the divorce, the judge was notified by Social Services, that while in his fathers custody, my son was "traumatized, depressed, neglected, and abused". My cries for an immediate return of the custody, fell on deaf ears. Judge James Russell in Memphis , Tennessee, refused to allow any testimony, evidence into the trial regarding the dire situation that my son was now being forced to live in. My son has continued to endure six years of continuous abuse and neglect. When we were finally allowed to go to trial three and a half years later, the judge still would not allow evidence into the case. Two weeks before the trial, my son was brutally assaulted by persons unknown. This police report and pictures, were also not entered into the trial. I was suddenly declared by the judge as "emotionally unstable", which was done without the proper mental competency hearing. However, he still ordered that I was to have "unsupervised visitation". The judge then awarded my ex all of the marital property, which I had equally contributed to, including the home and all of its contents. There is a very large disparity in incomes, and as further punishment, I was awarded ten dollars in alimony. Most of all, I worry about the safety and well being of my severely disabled son. He is Autistic, has Cerebral Palsy, severe developmental delays, and is unable to speak. Injuries and lack of medical attention have hindered the small amount of sign language that he was able to do. If past history and recent activity is any indication of behavior, my son is in horrific shape. Drugging him up will not stop someone from raping him, or beating him up, cursing and verbal abuse, and simply shunning him. We were ripped from each other, just like they used to do in slavery days. The person or people who had illegally taken custody of him need to be held accountable for their actions. I am not a lawyer, so I cannot say for sure exactly what it is I need done. I ONLY ASK THAT THIS CASE BE REOPENED AND THAT ALL EVIDENCE BE PROPERLY SUBMITTED INTO THE COURT RECORD. I would also ask for a mental competency hearing, so that I can see my son without being physically harmed or retaliated against. I have not seen my son in THREE years. He is not able to talk or use a telephone, he is DEFENSELESS.
