• Stand with homeowners risking arrest to end Too Big to Jail
    Since 2008 not one banker has gone to jail for destroying the economy, stealing our homes, our wealth, and our secure future. After years of resisting evictions, marching on big banks, delivering hundreds of thousands of petition signatures and even a popular movement like Occupy Wall Street, thousands of people have gone to jail for demanding accountability. But not one banker. It’s time to go directly to DC and interrupt business as usual. Hundreds of homeowners, foreclosure victims and allies will converge on Washington DC from May 18-23 and engage in dramatic action at the Department of Justice, holding the Obama Administration accountable for not being willing to jail any bankers. They are planning a host of powerful events for the entire week including non-violent civil disobedience. The latest outrage was in April when some 4 million families whose homes were stolen by Wall Street criminals in 2009 and 2010 started getting a total of $3.6 billion in compensation. Most will receive less than $1000. For losing their homes. That doesn’t even count the $12.8 trillion [1] that the greed and recklessness of Wall Street criminals cost our economy since 2008 or the $3 trillion [2] we spent propping up big banks. If our system of justice worked, two things should have happened: (1) those responsible should have been prosecuted for their crimes, and (2) borrowers should have been compensated for these violations. Instead AG Holder and the DOJ have given the bankers get out of jail free cards and federal regulators have allowed them to pay pennies on the dollar to people who lost their homes. That's what happens with Too Big to Jail. So we’re taking things right to the doorsteps of the decision-makers in DC. Stand with those going to DC to risk arrest through peaceful civil disobedience by signing on to the petition. We can guarantee your signature will be delivered to the very heart of law enforcement in the United States. We can’t wait for justice any longer. We’re going to DC. And we’ve got Too Big to Jail in our sights.

  • Domestic Dispute Law
    We need to make sure that victims of domestic violence/ kidnapping are better served by our police force. People have laid stabbed in their home while the police knock on the door and just go away because no one answers. Girls have been held captive in homes where police have come to the door, but don't look inside, and they are never found.

    On April 22, 16-year-old Kiera Wilmot was arrested at her Polk County high school for conducting a science experiment. Polk County Superintendent John Stewart has made the decision to place Kiera in an “alternative school” as he considers expulsion proceedings. The teen, who has no criminal history and maintained good grades, has suddenly found herself trapped in Florida’s insidious school to prison pipeline; which has continually funneled mostly youth of color out of Florida’s schools.

  • Don't shorten- Enron chief executive Jeffrey Skilling's-prison sentence.
    Public Justice-We are taught from childhood that "right is right and wrong is wrong" and that there are consequences as a result of our actions. It is in the public's interest that criminals-whether blue collar or white collar are treated equally under the law, and are not given special consideration/treatment based on their financial means or financial misdeeds.

  • Semi trucks take lives
    My 16 year old nephew was killed in a car accident on April 18, 2013 on I94. He was heading west bound on I94. He merged into the left lane and hit a patch of ice causing his vehicle to go into the median. His car slid through the median into oncoming traffic heading east bound on I94 and was struck by a semi that was in the passing lane. That lane should only be used for passing and semi-trucks are always in the passing lane. It should be a law semi-trucks cannot be in the passing lane unless only to pass and only during normal conditions. Within that same week there were 3 accident’s all involving semi-trucks and all were in the passing lane. Out of the 4 people involved two died!

    In order to decrease the amount of serial killings each year, it is vital that we study the psyche of current incarcerated serial killers. Psychopathology Data Collecting deserves more time and funding then it is currently being given.
