My son and his two uncles have been languishing behind bars in Maryland, USA, for 22 years for a crime they did not commit. We now have irrefutable evidence to prove this but we lack the financial resources to get it back into court. Please help us bring our family home.

Georgia is one of the twenty plus states that have Stand Your Ground laws or doctrines that virtually gives an individual the right to "shoot first" - in other words, a license to kill. In light of the tragedy and unjust killing of Trayvon Martin, we want to prevent a similar tragedy from happening in Georgia and want to repeal Georgia's law.

US adopts a federal law banning every state from adopting self-defense laws that authorize vigilantism, racial profiling, and killing unarmed people with dangerous or deadly weapons without a duty to retreat.

As a concerned citizen of this United States and of the State of Arizona. I believe the "Stand Your Ground Law" to be a irresponsible and dangerous law that breeds the attitude of "shoot first and ask questions later". I ask all responsible citizens to boycott Arizona tourism until this law is repealed by Arizona Governor elect Jane Brewer and The Arizona State legislature. Please show your support for responsible gun ownership and use by signing the petition and asking the State of Arizona to put an end to their advocacy of gun violence. Thank you Como ciudadano preocupada de los Estados Unidos y de Arizona, yo opino que la Ley "Defiende tu posición" es una ley irresponsable y peligrosa que promueve la actitud de “disparar primero y averiguar después”. Les pido a todos los ciudadanos responsables que emprendan un boicot contra el turismo en Arizona, hasta que esta ley sea anulada por la gobernadora electa, Jan Brewer, y la asamblea legislativa del estado de Arizona. Por favor muestren su apoyo en favor de la posesión y el uso responsable de las armas, firmando la petición y pidiendo al estado de Arizona que pongan fin a su defensa de la violencia por las armas. Gracias.

In the wake of the recent Zimmerman verdict I have realized I must act to pursue equality. I have created this petition to repeal the stand your ground law here in Wisconsin. I believe this law gives certain people the means to justifiably murder others by criminally profiling them, and unnecessarily taking matters into their own hands. In efforts to comfort all of Wisconsin's citizens and provide every mother with a sense of contentment that her child will in fact return home to her, This law should be removed in it's entirety.

My son and daughter have been startled in their sleep because of gunshots in our neighborhood. Countless other children have been shot and killed. All our children deserve a safe place to learn, play and call home. The city of Chicago is in need of help, bring in the National Guard to secure our war-zone streets.

This woman fired 1 warning shot against a known woman beater that threatened to kill her and was sentenced to 20 yrs in prison without parole.

The verdict in the George Zimmerman trial for killing Trayvon Martin an innocent Black teenager, is an outrage! These stand your ground laws allow for the George Zimmerman's of the world to profile and Kill our children and get away with it. IT MUST STOP! We must demand a change in these laws in all the states that have them, starting with Florida. Boycott Florida until these changes are made!

Florida's "stand your ground" law set the stage for the miscarriage of justice we just witnessed in the George Zimmerman case, undermining justice in the wake of Trayvon Martin's death. Unfortunately, unless we eradicate "stand your ground" and other "shoot first" laws, which exist in more than 30 states, we will have more Trayvon's and more senseless killings. Please join us in calling on our elected officials to take leadership in dismantling these laws.

BAD LAWS MAKE FOR BAD VERDICTS. IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT ZIMMERMAN TRIAL, WHERE THE JUDGE USED SYG IN HER INSTRUCTIONS TO THE JURORS, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS LAW MUST BE REPEALED.

See link for full story: http://www.blackcollegian.com/florida-man-gets-20-years-in-state-prison-for-shooting-car/ Joseph Dejoie was attacked on his own front lawn. He shot (wounded) his assailant, and a bullet hit the assailant's car. As a result, Dejoie was sentenced to 20 years in state prison, while his attacker went free! What!? NOT GUILTY for wounding the attacker, but 20 YEARS, under the 10-20-Life Law, for shooting his car! This madness has to END! Please sign the petition to appeal Joseph Dejoie's sentence. He had no prior convictions, and does not belong in prison! His daughter needs her father! FREE JOSEPH DEJOIE!!

My son Alphonza C. Bryant III also know as BeeJay to close friends & family was shot & killed by two gang members. Beejay was not the intended target infact he was an innocent bystander an honor roll student set for h.s. graduation & college. We must send the message to get these illegal guns of our streets and preserve the life of our young men.
