Law Enforcement Against Prohibition has said that "you can get over an addiction, but not a conviction". So many people are punished for life due to a criminal record. Support the forgiveness of a conviction over time.

Between the 1940's and 1960's several boys were killed at this school, buried in unmarked graves, and their families were lied to about it. Here is the link to the story. http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/13/us/florida-graves-mystery/index.html Shouldn't these children have a proper burial? Shouldn't the remaining family members have the truth about what happened to these kids? Is the state of Florida actually going to admit what may have actually happened and open themselves up to lawsuits? We all know that atrocities are committed every day, and we can't always find the truth, no matter how hard we try, but I feel this is important. If you agree, please sign.

Maryland's death penalty makes too many mistakes. It diverts funds from the real needs of victims' families. And it certainly doesn’t do anything to solve or prevent crimes. There have been no death sentences since 2004, and no executions since 2005, but it remains a huge drain on our budget. 2012 was quite a year for progressives in Maryland – passage of the DREAM Act and marriage equality were both great steps forward. Now it’s time to finish the job and repeal the death penalty.

Citizens are required to abide by the law but not in every case is the law intuitive or available to them prior to a lawsuit or criminal conviction. This leaves citizens two choices: hire an attorney and pay the exorbitant fees that they charge or inadequately represent themselves, pro se. The law should not be hidden from the citizens so just as the phone book is distributed yearly the state laws should be distributed to every household along with all revisions to the laws. In these economic times 80% of citizens cannot afford attorney fees and there is disparity in the courts against pro se litigants.

We are concerned about the rise of abusive private armies such as Blackwater, DynCorp, Blackhawk, et al.

News stories about women in the military being raped by other military personnel and not receiving the redress they seek. Not only is this happening in war zones but at military academies and training facilities, as well. This must be addressed!

KEY PROBLEM IN FLORIDA IS STAND YOUR GROUND LAW.

I think most people have been affected either directly or indirectly by the federal prohibition of cannabis. The federal government should repeal prohibition and allow states to determine legality.

Fired/disgraced law enforcement officers who are re-hired by other (usually smaller unknowing municipalities) allowing them to once again prey upon the public via,continued corruption,excessive force,profiling,etc. I worked in law enforcement 30 years and a repository of this kind is needed nationally so Federal,State,and Local law enforcement officials can vett prospective candidates and ensure they don't have a questionable/unlawful past.

The Administration let war criminals walk.they let Wall Street walk.But Marijuana is the biggest threat to Americans it's time to reorder their Priorities to align with the vast majority of Americans

My son was hit by an off duty officer on Dec 24, 2010 while walking in town of Myrtle Creek. There is a video of the impact and the vehicle and driver which the state troopers have. My son saw the video that the state troopers have. The officer still has his job? Nothing was done for my son. They even hide the medical records from us, denying they exist. But the state police have the evidence and sent it to Salem for prosecution and now 2 yrs later the cop is still employed. This is a very crooked police town. The cops have hassled my son so he will 'go off' and enjoy seeing a mentally ill person suffer. They even said this. My son is so fearful that he left the state and is homeless elsewhere just trying to put his life back together.

There should be a punishable law against hurting any animal. The same as if were a child
