Limits on Parole Board Discretions!My concerns is keeping people locked up to long is a mental issue. People wondering why people get out and committ crimes. The board and whom ever is behind this issue needs to solve the issues. Revision needs to be address. The Paole Board treats the cases and issues like slavery or slaves. People who has did the time that was required to come up for parole needs to let them out and have a second chance. Keeping people locked up is not solving issues. I believe that what ever time is for the one shall stand for all. Too much rascisim is over powering. We need help and we people pay taxes to house inmates. That's not right!!!!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dorthea Jackson

"Free Craig Snyder"This petition is about oppression by Governor Tom Corbett! My fiance is being falsely persecuted, by those higher ups! Ennvironmental activism and "Letter's to the Editor" by Elizabeth Grieco, shouldn't be a pre-cursor for Craig's incarceration? Sign this petition to send a message to Gov. Corbett, that we still believe in the "U.S. Constitution and our 1st Amendment Right to our Freedom of Speech!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth Grieco

America, LOCK UP YOUR GUNS!We have all been affected by the recent rash (and unfortunate long line) of school shootings. Though there are many factors at play and many political horses in the race, there must be some common ground. There must be some immediate action that can be taken, even in the face of the completely irrational and socially tone-deaf stance of the NRA (and the GOP by-proxy) on all things related to reasonable gun control. This may be one of the few small things that can be accomplished and that even the NRA may be able to help with. In the wake of the horrifying events at Sandy-Hook Elementary there has been much discussion and government resources directed at what can be done to prevent or at least mitigate such terrible things from happening in the future. It seems that even the most minor suggestions in policy change or ideas that seem completely reasonable and logical to stem the casualty rates from such acts are met with opposition by some interest group or another. But here is a cheap idea that cannot possibly be met with any reasonable opposition: President Obama, and any other public official of substantial national profile on either side of the political spectrum should start a media campaign calling on all Americans who own guns to immediately secure those guns in a safe and responsible manner. Their children should have no access to the guns nor should any other person who isn't supposed to. Many of the mass shootings that have happened have only been possible because the guns inside the shooter's home were not properly secured and the shooter had unfettered access to them. It can be a simplified message. "America, lock up your guns". It may also be helpful to look into legislative action that may help make this happen such as tax credits for gun safes or credits for gun locks. In my opinion the NRA could help greatly via their large membership and influence in this sector of private life. It may help them rebuild a tarnished image and seem somewhat reasonable again. In short, this should be a presidential address to the nation and a television and internet based-commercial campaign. "America, lock up your guns"1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Stemmerich

Gun Safeties SafetyBiometric Safeties can prevent anyone except the legal owner from using the weapon which would eliminate the majority of shootings in the US per the FBI statistics. According to FBI statistics, most shootings in America, whether accidental, suicide, or criminal, occur with legally owned weapons used by someone other than the legal owner. This includes both handguns and assault weapons. Also, most illegal weapons are first purchased legally and then resold illegally, called straw purchases.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by JD Adler

Justice in Steubenville"They raped her... They raped her quicker than Mike Tyson raped that one girl... she is so raped." That's what one local man said on camera about the now-infamous gang rape of a teenage girl by members of the Steubenville, Ohio high school football team last August. The girl was carried, unconscious, to different parties and raped at multiple locations throughout the night. And the dozens of teens who were there didn't try to stop them, get help or call the police--instead they took photos and posted jokes about the attack on Twitter. Police have been dragging their feet for months, but under Ohio law, failing to report a felony is a crime. And based on his 12-minute video, the man not only knew about the rape, but witnessed it. It's outrageous that local authorities are sweeping this under the rug--but it's not too late for the special prosecutors to charge him and others involved. Can you sign our petition that demands that DeWine prosecute anyone who knowingly failed to report the crime?6,735 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Kat Barr, UltraViolet
