  • Justice For Jeremiah
    The state of Louisiana has convicted me falsely and wants to sweep it under ths rug quietly. I have until Aug. 3 to file in LSC or be remanded from my appeal bond. The court of appeals denied my new attorney to even participate in my appeal process. The corrupt DA Leon Cannizzaro used to sit on the bench as a judge in the same trial court and court of appeals in New Orleans, La. You can google how corrupt it is in New Orleans, La, take a look. The Dept. Of Justice has been telling Louisiana and New Orleans for over 10 yrs to do something to better its system, and it has refused. In 2011, the DOJ finally released a report forcing it to change. It is all documented, well known, and ignored for too long. I was caught up in the system without outside help, or money to afford representation. Several human rights violations, civil rights violations, and constitutional rights violations I can clearly show beyond a shadow of a doubt.

  • Repeal Stand Your Ground in PA
    Stand Your Ground Law in PA is an unnecessary law that can cause more harm than good. Extending the Castle Doctrine to using a gun outside of the home for self defense invites dangerous confrontations and vigilante type behavior, such as the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin case demonstrated. The 22 States with Stand Your Ground laws have 8% more homicides than before they enacted the law.

  • Pennsylvania: Expunge felony convictions after 7 years
    I would like to make it more easier to have a felony taken of your record in the state of Pennsylvania. After 8 years of committing forgery for less than 200 dollars, it still haunts me. I payed my fines and court costs, and completed probation. I stayed out of trouble for 8 years now and I can not get a decent job with this on my record. I work in an independent restaurant making just enough to survive.

  • Repeal Georgia's Stand Your Ground Law
    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.
