Yes every American has been affected.

PA 511 is the law that CPS, the courts & law enforcement use to break the laws & CPS protocol in investigations & custody of children.

Jeff Olson is being prosecuted for scrawling anti-Bank of America messages on San Diego sidewalks in water-soluble chalk. He is facing a 13-year jail sentence, and the judge has barred his attorney from mentioning freedom of speech during trial. The First Amendment protects freedom of speech -- especially against huge banks and corporate interests like Bank of America. Judge Howard Shore has erred by disallowing this as a defense, and MUST immediately reverse his decision.

Owen Denson needs to be able to come home on Intensive supervision his young son needs him. For the past 4 years Owen has been trying to navigate the system which has punished him for being honest. Now Owen has less than a year left of his sentence. Owen has a job, family and friends waiting. Most importantly his pre-teen son needs him now! Owen has a good support system in place, but the powers that be are still dragging their feet. He is not asking for absolution just to be able to come home on ISP (which for those of you that don't know is an ankle monitor). I want to see how many people we can get to sign before Aug. 17, 2013 and I will present the results to the internal probation officer at the START program where he is currently being held.

On December 30, 2011, Ms. Glenda G. Lewis of Cocoa, Florida was found battered and dead lying in her bed with her violent and abusive ex-boyfriend, Calvin Lamal Williams. Her family reported that weeks before her death, she had filed for a domestic violence injunction, but was repeatedly threatened by Williams to rescind it. Sadly, she did. Days later, she was dead. At the time of Glenda’s death, he was an absconder (his whereabouts unknown to authorities) and was wanted for a probation violation regarding another victim of his domestic violence. Outrage and disbelief has taken the place of grief and sadness by Glenda’s family and friends. We are desperate for answers to why her ex-boyfriend, a man with an extensive history of crime and violence, had not been charged with any crime regarding her “suspicious death” nearly 12 years ago. Why else would an otherwise healthy 40-year-old woman be found dead in her own bedroom in which her furniture was totally destroyed; if foul play was not involved? The message that was sent by Detective Glenn Wade was that you must be a LIVE victim of domestic violence to get charges filed, because once your abuser MURDERS you, you cease to have any rights for justice. Once you are DEAD, you no longer have a voice and your killer can get away with murder. We, the family and friends of Glenda Lewis, are her voice. Please hear our cries for justice. Domestic violence is not a private matter and does not affect the Lewis family solely. It is a public epidemic and if we are not careful with the progress of this case, none of us will ever be safe.

Edward Snowden risked everything to expose the secret NSA spying program of our calls and emails. Now he’s been formally charged with violating the Espionage Act—the same law used to charge Bradley Manning, who provided information to WikiLeaks. For his trouble, Manning was held in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day and forced to sleep naked and sheetless, in conditions even a military judge called “excessive.” By bringing to light information that the powers-that-be would rather keep secret, whistleblowers like Snowden play a fundamental role in our democracy. We can’t just let them be thrown into darkness. As the Department of Justice moves in on Snowden, we need to raise our voices to ensure that Snowden is treated fairly and legally. Sign the statement urging President Obama to guarantee due process for Snowden and to crack down on unconstitutional spying programs—not whistleblowers.

My son Jamie Smith went off to college in pursuit of an education and a dream to play football. He was assaulted by his own teammates even in the presence of a coach. His call for help was heard but ignored. Now he's sitting in a California prison 3000 miles from home for protecting himself. We need to protect our children from campus violence! Mi hijo Jamie Smith fue a la universidad para una educación y un sueño de jugar futbol. Él fue agredido por sus propios compañeros de equipo, incluso en presencia de un entrenador. Su llamada de ayuda fue escuchada, pero ignorada. Ahora está sentado en una prisión de California 3,000 millas de casa para protegerse a sí mismo. ¡Tenemos que proteger a nuestros niños de la violencia en la universidad!

There was a day in the not recent past where most state and county governments coordinated the planning for (including establishing the need for) building new cells for additional prisoners with the Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee in the state or that county that the new space would serve. These CJCC's were sponsored by federal government who also supplied along with the Council of State Governors the methodologies and list of consultants who were approved to provide technical assistance. Members of the various CJS (Corrections, Courts, Probation and Parole, and Police got together along with these Councils to produce Projections Reports for Incarcerated Populations on a yearly basis whether or not any plan for expansion was being. Reports were part of Public Information. Now, it seems, a few states have ignored this procedure and governors have felt free to lobby for passage of facility expansion without any reports being issued to inform public opinion. Arizona, a state with the second highest per capita incarceration rate, is one of these states. Whereas, in 2001 it was reported that an average of 5.3% of the prisoners (across all states) were being held in Private facilities, while some states including Louisiana had 50% of their prisoners in Private facilities. Currently Arizona is fifth (at close to 50%) while Louisiana has backed off to 11th. Arizona has not put out a population Projection Report for several years even though the department was staffed with people who were more than competent to do so. Meanwhile, there are well known accusations that the governor has accepted multiple contributions to her campaigns and according to CBS 5 "two of Brewer's top advisers have connections to CCA" All states, especially those with significant contracts with Private Prison Companies, need, to maintain public confidence, to issue Corrections Projection Reports either annually or in association with efforts to obtain more public money for prison expansion.and these reports need to be developed with local criminal justice coordinating councils and use recognized methods for conducting their analyses.

Legalizing cannabis Will solve a lot of our economic problems, Cannabis has been outlawed because the Medical/Pharmaceutical and Textile/Oil Giants. want the TRUTH about Cannabis suppressed. Research has proven its' Medicinal value. The oils can be used as fuel. the fiber can be used the same as cotton and it is a lot stronger. It is time to allow the creative minds of those who work with Cannabis the freedom to create. Federal cannabis Law is making criminals out of otherwise Peaceful productive citizens. THAT IS NOT RIGHT, and it is not in the best interest of AMERICA.

Lifetime should not be showing a film about this murder until the entire trial including the penalty phase is completed. It will possibly taint the new jury for the penalty phase and it is disrespectful to the Alexander family to show it before justice has been completely served

My brother ( Warren L. Griffin), was murdered and robbed, February 3, 2013. By people that should have already been in prison, but they think they are invincible CI'S, for Connersville Indiana. Fayette County, they think that they can get away with murder. The police in this small town just keep making things worse, by letting drug addicts that get into trouble right back out to tell on people so they will stay out of trouble. Well in this case and many others these CI'S killed my brother, and no telling how many others. This has got to stop! Cops should do their jobs without putting drug addicts back out on the street to do their jobs for them. This has gotten way out of control. No informant should be a drug addict. There is no boundaries for a drug addicted informant. There is no ending to this process, because snitches/ci's keep snitching on one another to feed their own addiction. Also at the same time innocent people are getting hurt, hospitalized or in my brothers case killed. Only keeping drug addicted snitches/ci's on the streets instead of in prison where they belong. Which is only making society plus their addiction beyond control. Making them think they can get away with anything. Please sign, and help me put a stop to this. We Are The People. We have to stand united to put a stop to this nonsense. Is there JUSTICE or is it JUST US??
