• Stand Your Ground Amendment Proposal
    This petition is in response to the recent verdict pronounced in the Zimmerman trial. I was truly disappointed in the jurors' decision to acquit him of all charges because of the wording in the Stand Your Ground law. Because of this, I would like to propose an amendment that would deter others from taking the law into their own hands, then hiding behind this law as a way of getting away with murder.

  • Economic Boycott of Florida until Stand Your Ground is Repealed
    Our purchasing power is more powerful than we know. What if we signed a petition saying that we would not travel to Florida for any reason, business or pleasure, until the State Legislature repeals Stand Your Ground? What if we made an effort to NOT buy any products exported from Florida? Perhaps other states with Stand Your Ground laws would notice that economic damage and repeal their laws. We must use the power we have - isolate Florida and its barbarian verdict and laws.

  • Norfolk Mayor Fraim, Council Members & City Mgr. Jones: Order Police Chief to release files on bo...
    Norfolk police officers are paid by and accountable to the taxpayers of Norfolk. So, when they fail in their duty to protect and serve as in the alleged gross misconduct related to a woman's reported rape by Loredo in the 19th Bay St area in April 2012, we have a right to know, especially since the serial rapist she identified went on to sexually assault two more women and made a thwarted attempt in another one. A female that you or other residents of this city care about could have been a victim due to the careless and unprofessional conduct of the officers involved.

  • Repeal of the "Stand Your Ground Law" in Florida
    This pettion is repeal the Stand your ground law. I think its unfair that you can go looking for trouble in Florida, with a gun and you can find that trouble, and you can act upon that trouble in a way that leaves a person dead, and none of it guarantees that you will be convicted of a crime.

  • Jurors should not be able to profit from performing jury duty
    One of the jurors in the George Zimmerman case has already made a book deal. Nobody should profit from the tragedy of another. I am not sure whether a different verdict would have made her book less saleable, but knowing you can make money could create a bias.

    Marissa Alexander is a woman from Jacksonville who was sentenced to 20 years in jail for shooting a bullet above her abusive husband's head. She was trying to scare him off, and she was denied protection under the "stand your ground" law! If Zimmerman is walking free, so should she!
