Don't stop looking for missing persons/ cold cases. Although there is that probability, they haven't survived; as Cleveland discovered, last week, there is a very real possibility these people are alive, somewhere {and possibly being subjected to unspeakable treatment/ abuse}... Therefore, we must not give up on these innocent victims, of abduction!!!

You hear about abuses committed by Correctional Officers in prisons, but we rarely if ever see video tape of it. There's a reason. Many of our Incarceration Facilities don't have cameras installed! They exist on the fences to monitor the perimeter, but inside the jails themselves? In the cell blocks? NONE. It's time to require the installation of security cameras run by third party security teams to properly monitor our prison facilities so EVERYONE can be protected from unjust abuse and mistreatment.

This is about making stiffer penalties against anyone that abuses a child in any form. No misdemeanor charge. Yes I have been affected by this and still am.

I have family members perfectly capable of working but are not because they once committed a nonviolent, 1st time drug offense which taints their background making it harder for them to obtain work.

My daughter, Holly Bobo, was abducted on 4-13-11. After two years the case is still unsolved. There are other families in West Tennessee that have experienced the same tragedy for longer. Now is the time to push for a new approach and fresh eyes to achieve resolution for all these families. Please sign this petition to support the creation of a special task force. The new team will be comprised of qualified professionals who can re-examine and investigate these open missing persons cases.

My sister was murdered by her boyfriend. It will be 10 years this August 16th, her birthdate. He had a record of abuse with at least one count of felony. If we had a roster of felony abusers to look up his name and warn my sister. She would still be here today

Peggy Miller, mother, grandmother, small business owner and medical herbalist in Montana, once learned of major Government Service Contract building contract corruption and public fund theft when working in Washington, D.C. It was $5 billion at that time in late 1970's, and based on GSA's growth since, she now estimates it at $20 billion annually. She was a girl in her 20's who was dating a young man who's father was Government Service Administration director. That GSA director discovered this corruption. The next thing she knew that GSA director was being asked to resign, and the hearings were called off. She forgot about it, feeling powerless to do anything. But one day in the late 1990’s she wrote it down in a notebook that was soon stolen from her home along with many other work and personal files, and her harassment began. It took her awhile to figure out that the break-ins and indication of surveillance in her home, and theft of her files, was probably related to that GSA corruption knowledge she had, and so she went to the FBI in 2002 and reported what she knew. She told the FBI that she knew the General Services Administration had been colluding with the mafia in allowing ballooning of GSA building and maintenance contracts and the siphoning off of half those funds. She told the FBI that the amount she had been told was being stolen from contracts in 1979 was $5 billion and the corruption existed in most states. The New Hampshire FBI agent she reported it to checked and verified the accuracy of her report, said others had reported the same thing, and it was still on-going. That FBI agent said her report was sent to Washington,D.C. for investigation. Then there was silence. Peggy Miller continued to be subjected to house break-ins, electronic and personal surveillance via person, computers and phone, and in her house. There was some food and water contamination, but that improved. She continued to report to the FBI and finally went to the U.S. Attorney's office in 2007 who said they needed the FBI, but even they were ignored by the FBI when sending them the complete file. In 2009 Peggy began to report it directly to the President, U.S. Cabinet, and Congressmen and many national organizations. She went to lawyers who said that it was a job for the U.S. Attorney's office, who keeps saying they need the FBI on board. But the FBI does nothing. It is time for a petition to the U.S. Senate to investigate the whole matter, including why the FBI has done nothing. Attorney General Eric Holder has said that the FBI can't deal with the hugeness of Wall Street boondoggles and the size of multinational corporations. Is GSA too large too? We must get a handle on these massive leaks to the public Treasury, or our economy will never recover.

Since 2008 not one banker has gone to jail for destroying the economy, stealing our homes, our wealth, and our secure future. After years of resisting evictions, marching on big banks, delivering hundreds of thousands of petition signatures and even a popular movement like Occupy Wall Street, thousands of people have gone to jail for demanding accountability. But not one banker. It’s time to go directly to DC and interrupt business as usual. Hundreds of homeowners, foreclosure victims and allies will converge on Washington DC from May 18-23 and engage in dramatic action at the Department of Justice, holding the Obama Administration accountable for not being willing to jail any bankers. They are planning a host of powerful events for the entire week including non-violent civil disobedience. The latest outrage was in April when some 4 million families whose homes were stolen by Wall Street criminals in 2009 and 2010 started getting a total of $3.6 billion in compensation. Most will receive less than $1000. For losing their homes. That doesn’t even count the $12.8 trillion [1] that the greed and recklessness of Wall Street criminals cost our economy since 2008 or the $3 trillion [2] we spent propping up big banks. If our system of justice worked, two things should have happened: (1) those responsible should have been prosecuted for their crimes, and (2) borrowers should have been compensated for these violations. Instead AG Holder and the DOJ have given the bankers get out of jail free cards and federal regulators have allowed them to pay pennies on the dollar to people who lost their homes. That's what happens with Too Big to Jail. So we’re taking things right to the doorsteps of the decision-makers in DC. Stand with those going to DC to risk arrest through peaceful civil disobedience by signing on to the petition. We can guarantee your signature will be delivered to the very heart of law enforcement in the United States. We can’t wait for justice any longer. We’re going to DC. And we’ve got Too Big to Jail in our sights.

Despite Evidence From Discredited Medical Examiner, Mississippi's Jeffrey Havard Nears Execution

I want to bring attention to the dangerous conditions occurring in the private prisons located here in Mississippi. I do not want any more assaults or deaths (staff or inmates) to occur here and those officials who have knowledge of how bad these private prisons are to be held ACCOUNTABLE (State and local officials as well as Bennie Thompson and MDOC Commissioner Christopher Epps).

We need to make sure that victims of domestic violence/ kidnapping are better served by our police force. People have laid stabbed in their home while the police knock on the door and just go away because no one answers. Girls have been held captive in homes where police have come to the door, but don't look inside, and they are never found.
