Amend the Florida "Stand Your Ground" and "Self-Defense" Laws: You can't pursue someone and claim...The Trayvon Martin case blatantly highlights the current loopholes that are present with current "Self-Defense" and "Stand Your Ground Laws". Whether using "Self-Defense" or "Stand Your Ground" a person should not be able to pursue someone and claim "Self-Defense". A situation should be looked at entirely when a person is claiming "Self-Defense" or "Stand Your Ground". Language must be included in our laws that guards against a person being able to pursue another person but then claim "Self-Defense" or "Stand Your Ground".11,552 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Julius Denson II

Free Marissa AlexanderMarissa Alexander a mother of three was sentence to 20 years in jail by the state of Florida for firing a warning shot in her kitchen ceiling to keep her abusive husband from beating her. Despite the fact that Marissa has never been in any kind of trouble she sits in a Florida jail. Marissa cited the Stand Your Ground law as her defense but was still convicted, when she harmed No one. George Zimmerman walked free after killing and unarmed child Trayvon Martin and was found not guilty by a jury using the same Florida Stand Your Ground Law. I asked you is this fair, does justice allow Stand Your Ground to some and not to others? Please sign your name to this petition to be sent to Florida legislature to urge them to reopen this case and exonerate Marisa of this sentenced.594 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Alysha Riley

Release Marissa Alexander immediatelyMiss Alexander fired a WARNING shot in the state of Florida in self defense to keep her abusive husband away from her, and was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years after 12 minutes of deliberation. Her right to use this defense and be found not guilty was violated because she was protecting herself from harm. Spousal abuse should never be tolerated on any level.15,707 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by Shanita Logan

Jail the Banksters, not the victims!The government is spending thousands of taxpayer dollars to prosecute and imprison Mary Mcculley for allegedly acting as a banking investigator to uncover the truth behind the forged deeds. What about the forger? He's the one making the accusations! Enough is enough. Jail the crooks, not the victims.134 of 200 SignaturesCreated by mary mcculley

One Law, One LimitIf your child is coerced or seduced by an Adult Sexual Predator into agreeing to have sex, the current legal statutes leave you no legal means to address the issue The statutes on sexual contact with minors in Ohio designate that it is legal for a child age 16 or older to agree to have sexual intercourse. While it is illegal in Ohio for people under the age of 18 to purchase tobacco or to vote and, a person needs to be 21 to purchase alcohol, and photos or videos of naked people of either sex under the age of 18 are designated "child pornography"....Yet, the age of sexual consent in Ohio is 16 years of age with no qualifying statements regarding the age difference of the participants. Sex between 16 year olds is a far different social issue than sexual contact between an older Adult of more than 5 years of age difference and a more than 16 but still under 18 year old teen. This leads to not only confusion and distress on the part of Teens and their Parents, it complicates legal proceedings unnecessarily. If your child is coerced or seduced by an Adult Sexual Predator into agreeing to have sex, the current legal statutes leave you no legal means to address the issue.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dana Ferbrache-Darr

JUSTICE for Archie "Artie" Elliott, IIIFROM: Dorothy Copp Elliott - mother of slain Archie “Artie” Elliott, III TO: THE OFFICE OF PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY On January 19, 1994 the grand jury in Prince George’s County released its report of no indictment against Officer Jason Leavitt of District Heights and Officer Wayne Cheney of Prince George’s County Police Department for fatally shooting Archie Elliott, III on June 18, 1993. Archie Elliott, III was acutely intoxicated, had failed simple sobriety tests, was frisked, handcuffed with his hands behind his back, secured by a seat belt and placed in the front seat of a police patrol car. Archie Elliott, III was shot 14 times for allegedly “POINTING” a handgun at the officers. Whereas, the grand jury found no criminal charges against the officers, YET the grand jury recommended standard training and additional training of municipal officers. Whereas, the Prince George’s County Police Department simultaneously declared the officers’ actions were justified; HOWEVER, the Internal Affairs Division stated “an improper search precipitated the events” in the fatal shooting of Archie Elliott, III. We, the undersigned citizens, formally register our strong protest because justice was denied in the police killing of this handcuffed 24-year old young black male who was in no condition to lethally or otherwise harm the police officers or anyone else. We petition the State’s Attorney to reconsider this case on the merits of all the facts. We further petition the State’s Attorney to thoroughly examine the guidelines the lead prosecutor used in presenting the information and evidence to the grand jury for their deliberations. We demand accountability from the police department and the grand jury for the use of unwarranted and excessive force in the death of Archie Elliott, III. The public is entitled to expedient, aggressive and professional scrutiny by the police department and by the grand jury in police related killings the same as they would in violent deaths that are not police related.4,544 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Dorothy Copp Elliott

Virginia: Stop the suffering and update contributory negligence lawMany Virginia state residents are affected by drivers that get away with causing accidents merely because a lawyer can prove there MAY have been a fraction of a percentage of fault on the victim. This happened to me when I was rear ended while riding a motorcycle. An inattentive driver hit me from behind and because I wasn't going fast enough even though the truck was speeding, I get nothing more than $15,000 in medical bills, a loss of my mode of transportation, and unpaid time off work. Let's stop this from happening to others and make sure those causing accidents are held accountable. It's time to remove a law that only 3 states have been holding on to and move into a day and age that holds people accountable for paying attention to the machinery they operate. Time to make our roads a safer place or make those that don't want to be safe pay for their negligence.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by William Allison
