• No 2nd chances for Hasani Wesley: To prevent children from boarding schools on highways.
    I am Hasani Wesley's older sister Halima Wesley , I have started this petition for all of the children that have died or got hit trying to go to school. An aware community can make a difference, and save many lives. My brother was a beautiful spirit and he didn't deserve to die because of failure to abide school laws.My brothers murderer has not been charged.... I got all green lights while driving home yesterday... It was as if riding on the highway but I was on highpoint rd in greensboro..which is a busy street. I realized that even if my brother isn't visual he can be my light when I'm driving or the bird in my window that sings when I wake up to all of my responsibilities he is my everything literally, but for the most part he is my Angel. An 11-year-old boy died Wednesday morning after being hit by an SUV while trying to get on a school bus. Hasani Wesley, 11, died after the collision, which happened around 7 a.m. on N.C. 66 near Shaddowfax Drive. N.C. 66 remained closed until around noon. Wesley was trying to get on the bus just a few hundred feet from his home when the collision with the Jeep occurred, troopers said. The bus's lights were on, and the stop arm was out, troopers said. The driver of the Jeep, Billy Roger Bailey, 47, of Kernersville, was coming from the opposite direction, troopers said. Bailey remained at the scene after the crash, troopers said. Bailey told investigators that he simply didn't see the child crossing the road. He was driving the speed limit, and alcohol wasn't a factor in the crash either, troopers said. Wesley normally caught the bus from the right-hand side of the road, but he missed it Wednesday morning, school officials said. The bus driver saw Wesley when coming back through the area and stopped to pick him up, which is legal, school officials said. Wesley was a sixth grader at East Fosyth Middle School, said Theo Helm, spokesman for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. Wesley had been taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center after the collision, Helm said.

  • Justice for Brian
    My best friend was "railroaded" to take the fall in this case. The guilty man was set free. All of this is documented and can be shown to verify my claims.

  • No More Guns
    Make gun manufacturers responsible for the deaths their guns cause. We need laws to protect the innocent from the violence of guns. The only way to rid society of guns and stop the violence is for manufacturers to recall all their products. Then, if they wish, they can screen purchases themselve for their protection against law suits. In the mean time they can create a slush fund to reimburse the families of future victims.

  • Petition Against a New Firearms Ban
    The proposed ban of ‘assault rifles,’ semi-automatics, and 10+ round magazines will only serve to limit the people’s capacity to defend our rights and safety in our local communities. Furthermore it will only serve to provide a higher level of firepower to the criminal community, as well as the local and federal governments, all while limiting the power of the individual citizen – this is unquestionably contrary to all that the founders of this great nation fought for, and provided guarantees against. Any further limitation of firearms to the lawful citizens of America directly upsets the balance that our nation’s architects indomitably granted us, as a free people, the right and obligation to uphold.

  • Justice4All
    The United States incarcerates more people than all the other developed nations combined! It's Prison Nation, not the Beloved Country. We have 40,000 prisoners in AZ prisons and uncounted more in Federal detention centers for illegal immigrants. The AZ Dept of Corrections(DOC) costs One Billion Dollars in our state budget! That number is ever increasing as money for education is decreasing. Funds could be spent better if activists, politicians,teachers, prison guards,families of prisoners, WE work together for a cheaper, yet more humane, justice system in Arizona. Did you know that most convicts return to prison soon after their release (recidivism)? All they know is crime. How about rehabilitation? A Second Chance! NO, Instead, many times the convict spends years in isolation, even if the person has a severe mental illness! They are brutalized by the system and by each other. How can we expect them to change? How can we get them to become respectable, contributing members of society? The community will be safer! Crime rates go down! The AZ legislature opened January 31st and is now arguing about the budget. A perfect time to lobby for reasoning together. . Tell your friends to sign on for prison reform campaigns! Study the issue. Start a discussion at church. Read the book, "Jim Crow Nation", published last year. Write or visit a prisoner. Many avenues to follow, hopefully many followers to come.
