Rape and corruption.

Imam Jamil (H. Rap Brown) a prominent civil rights advocate, who continues to claim his innocence, targeted for over 40 years by the Hoover era seeks to be reinstated within the state of Georgia prison system to be near his family and continue his fight to clear his name.

Closed down these Private Federal Prisons, that get over $25,000 for each inmate and are starving the inmates and mistreating them. Federal prisons are LEGALIZED SLAVERY for the black and Hispanic population.The uneducated workers makes their own laws to oppress the inmates and this keep the inmates in trouble. I'm the mother of a prisoner in fairton New Jersey and I feel as if I am I incarnated along with my son.

Convicted felons (guilty or innocent), should have their rights restored

A patriotic and decorated CIA agent is slated to go to jail for 30 months for revealing the name of another agent to a reporter who did not publish it and could have used it as a source for further reporting on torture, perpetrated in the name of the USA. No security was compromised.

A ban on concealed carried weapons has negatively impacted people who only sought to protect themselves against known impending threats. Banning a person's right to carry a weapon assumes that the only dangers threatening him will fall at his doorstep. I have been personally affected by this ban because my nineteen year old son was shot at last year while he was in his car. The offenders shot out the back windshield. My son escaped, terrified. These same guys had beaten his friend the week before with a pistol. The police told us there was nothing they could do and for my son to lay low. Every time my son left home, the assailants attempted to harm him and he got away each time; the last time he called the police who came just in time to save my son's life. My son was afraid for his life and purchased a gun because all he had before was his feet to run away, which are not much good against a flying bullet. During an unlawful traffic stop for tinted windows in the city of Chicago, my son's weapon was found in the car. He admitted it was his. It was never used. And now my nineteen year old son is in jail with a felony conviction that will ruin him for the rest of his life because he was trying to save his life from aggressors. He was in college at the time of the shooting. He flunked out the second semester because he was scared to go to school every day and was suffering from post-traumatic stress. He was paranoid and could no longer focus on school. My son should have had the right to arm himself against a known threat since the police, in their own words, could not protect him. A ban on concealed carried weapons protects criminals, not victims. And now my son went from college student to felony criminal. The ban has been deemed unconstitutional by the 7th circuit court of appeals and Illinois has been given 180 days to enact a new law. That is proof positive that my son should not be in jail. He was jailed after this ruling.

Habitat has some explaining to do: A murder occurred at 174 Ephriam Street, Santa Fe, NM, 87501, on 3/11-12/12, where (C0-Owner & Criminal - Sam Leyba) was aiding/abetting and harboring a felon, as well as, stolen items from four different local burglaries that were found in his home upon his arrest, along with Jewelry from another recent Murder that was committed in February during a home invasion robbery. Leyba is presently in jail and is allowing his criminal family members stay in this home. Surely this is not what Jimmy Carter intended when he created this program to help worthy and deserving families.

Used car dealers are beyond the scope of Colorado Law in that they can knowingly sell death traps to unsuspecting buyers.

The lifelong penalization of ex-offenders in this country when it comes to jobs. Every American deserves the chance for redemption and dignity if they desire to change and be law abiding and productive to our society.

Those seeking to abolish the death penalty in Maryland are one or two votes short in the State Senate. But MoveOn endorsed a State Senator for Congress this year who has not committed to support death penalty abolition. We need MoveOn members/supporters and progressives to tell Senator Rob Garagiola to pledge to support the end of legalized murder by the government.

A Los Angeles-based state appeals court just overturned a rape conviction because a woman who was raped in her sleep by a man impersonating her boyfriend is unmarried. The victim, who at first thought the man was her boyfriend, tried to stop him once she regained consciousness enough to realize he was an imposter. However, because the woman and her boyfriend are not a married couple, her rapist will walk away without penalty: The court said that its decision is based on a California law stating that tricking a victim into sex by impersonation only counts as rape if the victim is married.
