• Chicago City Camera Ticketing & Booting Discrimination
    On October 14, 2010, I got the call that my second oldest sister was dead. En route to the hospital, while stuck in traffic at a malfunctioning traffic light, I was photographed & subsequently received a camera ticket for 'running a red light'. How impersonal. Those cameras proliferate in lower economic neighborhoods. Then the poor who can barely pay Chicago's exorbitant rent, food prices & taxes let alone high priced tickets, get booted! I've seen 5 booted cars on the same block along with several foreclosed homes. It's ridiculous and needs to stop.

  • President Obama: Release Guantanamo Prisoners; Humane Treatment for Hunger Strikers
    Innocent people have been held prisoner at the Guantanamo facility for over a decade even though world leaders and U.S. administration already knows they are innocent. We need to correct this immediately. Prisoners are presently exercising their right to refuse food and are being brutally force-fed with large tubes and this needs to stop.

    Big banks keep aggressively foreclosing homes mostly from middle class hard working people. Some of these banks (notoriously HSBC Bank USA) have been found engaged in forging signatures and illegal processing of mortgages documents, the so called "ROBOSIGNING". HSBC was even found involved in money laundering in the amount of billions of dollars and precisely doing so on drug dealers' money. Where is the Dpt. of Justice and its agents here in Florida when it is the time to enforce laws?. Or... it is that this big banks are "too big to obey laws", as they have been considered "too big to fail??". I ask for an investigation on these corporations and on the Florida Attorney General who fired two of her assistants because they were doing their job on these issues.

  • Stalking
    I have been stalked for 11 years. I have an restraining order against my stalker and the police refuse to enforce it. We need a national stalking law that forces law enforcement and State Attorney's/District Attorney's enforce a stalking law. This law also should be a criminal law rather than the current civil law with automatic monetary penalties that are to be paid immediately after a conviction of stalking or the stalker goes directly to jail or both.

  • Create a federal law that protects victims of domestic abuse from losing their homes.
    There are too many in the United States that suffer from domestic violence, day in and day out. We need to strike down laws across our country that hinder victims from contacting police.

Help us give my son and other Autistic children the appropriate placement,voice and care when being thrust into the legal system by there so called safe environments.
