• Ambrose: "No Tolerance Hit & Run"
    Many drivers have no respect for pedestrians or other drivers. The impulse to hit & run after an accident has become a persuasive practice. This is social insanity because we've become an irresponsible society. Driving is a privilege and should be regulated accordingly. This infraction is illegal, immoral, unethical, and barbaric. We all suffer financially and emtionally. We can stop this "NOW". Those found guilty should suffer a harsh penalty. Jail, with no plea bargaining as an idea. When we tolerate insanity, we live the result.

  • Utah Attorney Integrity and Accountability Law: Make it a crime for an Attorney to lie to the Court
    Dear Friends, This is a simplified version of the first petition I created relating to attorney deceit in the courts. This will be easier to understand, although a copy of the proposed law I drafted is posted after this background information. With only a month left in the 2013 Utah Legislative Session, we need your help ASAP. Lawyers are not considered to be under oath, even though they are sworn to honesty when admitted to practice law in Utah. This law would create criminal consequences for any attorney who seeks to deceive the court.. Those crimes addressed by this proposed law can make the difference between fair and unfair rulings and verdicts. By taking action against attorneys who mislead judges and damage the integrity of the court, we can assert our right to expect a level playing field for each party in a case. When an attorney is determined to have lied to a court, the Utah Bar Association is responsible for disciplinary action. But because the Bar is comprised of other attorneys, it is unlikely that any significant discipline will be dispensed. (Source: 2011-2012 Utah Bar Association Fiscal Year Report) Utah's ethical enforcement agencies got an "F" grade from the Center On Public Integrity, a national organization that determines each state's risk for corruption in government and the courts. That same organization gave Utah a "D-" on judicial accountability. Why? Twelve other states have passed Attorney Deceit laws. Just as Utah is considered one of the top "fraud" states, its geographic isolation and the dominance of cultural and religious bonds have made it more at risk for frauds upon the court by unscrupulous attorneys. You can help make Utah a better place by supporting this landmark change. Make attorneys accountable for ethical standards. MAKE IT THE LAW. Michael Robinson, Sr. Riverton, Utah 801 403-6450 __________________________________________________________________________________ Basics of the Utah Attorney Integrity and Accountability Law (proposed) Drafted by Michael Robinson, Sr., Riverton, Utah 84065, 801 403-6450 1) Pursuant to the Utah Attorney Oath, and in recognition that all Utah attorneys have been thus sworn, every attorney shall be under oath in any and all his duties for which a license to practice law or admission to the Utah State Bar is required, regardless of the nature of his employment or the entity or entities by which he is employed. 2) An attorney shall: A. not make any false statement of material fact or law B. not fail to disclose a material fact when disclosure is necessary to avoid assisting in a criminal or fraudulent act by the client C. not offer evidence that the lawyer knows to be false D. in the event that he has offered such evidence and discovers its falsity, take reasonable remedial measures to correct that falsity and mitigate the damage to the harmed party E. present no false evidence regardless of the client’s wishes F. disclose his client’s deception to the court or to the other party G. disclose the existence of perjury with respect to material fact, even that of a client H. have the authority to refuse to provide evidence or proof he knows to be untrustworthy I. have a special obligation to protect the judicial system against fraudulent or criminal conduct 3) Having been admitted to practice law in Utah, every Judge, Commissioner, and Magistrate shall fully and promptly investigate documented allegations of the wrongdoings specified above which have any possible detriment to any litigant in a civil action and to any defendant in a criminal case. 4) Each judge or officer of the court shall be responsible to sua sponte reverse any and all judgments or sentences arising out of or relating in any way to a violation of this statute as necessary to ensure fair and equitable treatment under the law. 5) Any and every attorney acting in any capacity for which a license to practice law or admission to the Utah State Bar is required, regardless of the nature of his employment or the entity or entities by which he is employed, who is guilty of any violation of the requirements above, or who is guilty of deceit or collusion or consents to any deceit or collusion with intent to deceive the court or a party is guilty of a misdemeanor and is liable to the party injured by the violation, deceit or collusion, for treble damages. 6) Any attorney found guilty of such misdemeanor shall be referred to the State Bar Association for discipline, suspension, or disbarment, depending on the severity of the offense and the Bar Association shall be required to impose disciplinary action. 7) As to any act predating this legislation which would be a violation of it after the effective date of this legislation, and which had or may have had any effect on the issuance, fairness or correctness of any judgment or sentence: a.

  • One Strong Solution to Identity Theft.
    I have not seen this proposed as a means of preventing identity theft, but if it is as simple as it seems to me, it should have been done years ago. Too many people are being victimized by identity theft and we need a government that is proactive in stopping this problem.

  • Create Tougher Penalties For Gun Traffickers
    People who arm criminals and fuel gun violence in our communities need to be held accountable. Stricter jail sentences and/or high fines would help reduce the number of weapons sold in the streets.

  • Marijuana Legalization in Missouri
    The legalization of marijuana would bring in a lot of tax revenue for missouri, it has a lot of medical uses, it also can be used to develope bio-fuels, and fabrication of many materials we use every day. The postive effects of marijuana greatly outweighs the bad. Marijuana should be legal because it can help people immensely through medical uses and is drastically less harmful than tobacco and alcohol with recreational use.

  • Require Prisoners to Work, to Grow Food and Make their Own Clothing
    California prisons drain $10 billion from taxpayers annually. Prisons can and should be self-sufficient. Oregon requires prisoner to work. Prisoners will gain skills and be employable when they are released.

  • Tougher Penalties For Gun Traffickers
    It is imperative that gun traffickers understand that they are as responsible for a gun being used in a crime as the person who engages in that crime. Transporting and selling weapons across state lines without a licensce must also be met with strong penalties, such as jail or extreme fines.

  • Relief for MS,Seizures,Scoliosis,Migrains
    Please allow 1000's of adults and otherwise to be free of the pain that cannabis so simply replaces with relaxation, even lower blood pressure. How many humans with seizures do we have to cry for before they're allowed to take non-mind altering Cannabidiols (CBDs) from cannabis to instantly stop the seizures before it's obvious that cannabis certainly doesn't belong in the category of Heroin as a Schedule 1 drug. Cocaine, 1000 times worse than cannabis, is only Schedule 2, so cannabis should be no more than a parking ticket/Schedule 3, and certain forms such as CBDs which do not get you "high" should be legal for pain/seizures.

  • The IL Domestic Violence Act
    After I was the victim of domestic violence, my abuser was not prosecuted because my local law enforcement chose not to follow the Illinois Domestic Violence Act guidelines and refused to take any actions preventing further abuse. The police decided to ignore my case, which did lead to further abuse, and there is nothing I can do because they have the right not to act. It is unacceptable to allow abusers get away with violence because the police can hide behind immunity. That's why I created a petition on SignOn.org to the Illinois Legislature and Governor Pat Quinn, to fix the loophole that allows police to choose to not fully follow the Illinois Domestic Violence Act.
