• Oppose H.B. 875 in the Georgia State Legislature
    The "Safe Carry Protection Act", S.B. 101 was successfully curtailed for this past legislative session but has come up again as HB875. The "Act" would allow guns to be carried , in k-12 schools, in churches in bars and certain government buildings. The premise being it would make people "safer". If you do not believe it will make you safer, please sign this petition. It is after all a matter of life or death. More guns in more places carried by more people will not make it safer for people, it will in fact make it more dangerous. This is a "public safety" issue, not a 2nd Amendment issue.

  • Lessen the punishment of teens who commit sex crimes
    I know numerous teenagers from age 18 and under who have had consensual sex with people under their age and have been involved in "sext messages". These are teenagers who are just begining their lives and make mistakes they will later frown upon in their later years. They should not be punished with a Felony or a lifetime registration as a "Sex Offender". All teenagers make mistakes and deserve a second chance.

  • Parole board: Please Do Not Grant Parole to Russell Stone (H-00697)
    When I was 6 years old, my aunt, Dr. Deborah Saiki, was brutally murdered by her husband, Russell Franklin Stone. While I can't do anything about the past, I can prevent this dangerous man from hurting anyone every again, and that's why I'm asking you to sign this petition. Please urge the Board of Parole Hearings to deny Russell Stone (CDC #H-00697) parole. He has never shown any signs of remorse or responsibility in my aunt's brutal murder and is a continued threat to the public safety.

  • Cassie's Law: providing legal protection for children from sexually abusive parents
    My oldest daughter was raped by her step father at the age of four. I called in Child Protective Services, the prosecutor, and took my daughter for counseling. Now I'm learning that the man that raped my oldest daughter may still end up with visitation for the daughter we had together, my youngest. How can this man's parental rights outweigh my innocent child's rights to safety? Please help me protect Cassie and children in positions similar to Cassie's. https://www.facebook.com/cassieslawnj https://twitter.com/cassieslaw

  • Minimum Mandatorys
    My son who is a first time offender has received a 90 month prison term. 5 years was the minimum mandatory. This is too much for a first time offender who had never been in trouble before.

  • Stop Private Detention in Illinois
    Illinois law already bars the state and local government from contracting with private companies to build and run correctional facilities. Illinois understands that jailing people is a "uniquely governmental function," and that bringing profit motives into detention leads to mismanagement and abuse. Corrections Corporation of America ("CCA"), is currently trying to build such a center in the Chicagoland area and this is NOT covered by existing law.

  • Mandatory Treatment versus Prosecution for First Time Non-violent Sex Offenses
    I am the Dakota RSOL State Affiliate Organizer and have heard so many sad stories regarding the lack of confidential preventitive treatment and the division of so many families due to our current sex offender laws. As a teacher, I feel I let a student down because she choose to endure the abuse rather than share and have her abuser go to prison and the family be divided. We must demand treatment versus punishment to encourage children to report to STOP the abuse, provide resources, and CURE this epidemic.

  • Stop Gun Violence with a Nationwide Gun Reform Policy
    Due to recent events at Sandy Brook Elementary school, the shooting at the movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado, and the shooting in Arizona where Congress woman Gabby Gifford and many other innocent people were brutally shot and some murdered this country has got to make a change. While some states may have strict laws on purchasing firearms there are those who are not meeting the standard to protect American citizens. By incorporating a nationwide gun policy the people of America will find it safer to walk down the street, send their children to school, and visit their local grocery store.

    I lost 2 nephews to gun shootings from 2002 to 2009 , also 1 nephew was shot 3 times 2012 and survived . 3 cousins shoot to death 2008 to 2012 . I ASKED state legislator who talked to other elected officials in 2006 to 2010 to get state police to patrol the mon valley streets ,nothing happened. mon valley has a avg of 19 black on black deaths each year with a 5% close rate. THE police and community need help from the State Legislators and governor that have state police sitting in state police cars just 8 to 10 miles away from these high crime areas.
