Conditions of and @ the Illinois Prisons the need for attention and actions a serious concern for the human that are suffering because of it. I think serious notice and attentions need to be taken. The effect a family member is a resident @ a Illinois prison.

We are sickened by the deaths of innocent victims at the hands of angry and disturbed individuals. The sale of illegal assault weapons has become a lucrative trade and a national disgrace. Our political leaders have proved that they are too timid to take action. It is up to us!

Loitering and gang violence in my country, in my state, in my city, on my block and in front of my house

I went on a trip to Boise Idaho with a family friend in November 2000. Upon getting to Boise I found out that this person was a run away from his mother. He used me for a out. On coming back from Boise through Oregon and stopped on a traffic stop. The family friend advised the Oregon officer that I had kidnapped him along with other charges. He knew he was going to juvenile cause he was a run away. I was arrested on kidnapping and other charges. I sat in county jail for a year on counts that I did not do. I was appointed a lawyer and at the end he took a plea bargain and bailed on me. The day of court I thought I was going to court but my lawyer had me sign the plea bargain and explained it later. I was looking at 6 1/2 years for crimes I did not do. I end up doing 14 months. The person came back to Washington and admitted to his friends that he lied to get out of the run away charge and probation charges. There has been at least 6 people to and make reports the Centralia Washington Police to what the person has told them. Centralia Police will not release, reopen, or make right the charges. They are keeping all new reports hid in files so they can not be found. They say that my witness are not creditable. 14 months in jail, 6 years probation, $5000 plus in fines and a life time of registering. This person has done this same thing to his dad, step dad, a case worker, myself, and was working on 3 others when I got back to Washington. I can not get Oregon, Washington to listen to me that there was a big dis justice done here and that he is the one that needs to be the felon. My whole life has been affected with this. My lively hood was taken from me as store detective, and all of my rights. I am asking for help with your signatures so I can send this to the Governor of the state of Oregon and get my name cleared of all of these charges.

Throughout the United States, Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings are covering up criminal activity, ranging from drug dealing to crimes-against-persons.

Unfulilled "promise"because of lack of will of those citizens of this country to shoulder our responsibilities.Who will take the prisoners?EVERY State in the Union should take at least one. Why? We need to shoulder our patriotic duty, our commtment to justice and show the world we are responsible, genuine, and truly believe in justice for all.

After Montana legalized medical marijuana, Chris Williams started a marijuana growing operation. Despite the Obama Justice Department's assurances that it would not prosecute people for growing marijuana within the limits of state law, Mr. Williams was raided by federal officers and arrested; during his trial, he was prohibited from using the fact that he was following state law as a defense. While Jerry Sandusky got a 30-year minimum sentence for raping young boys, Mr. Williams is looking at a mandatory minimum of more than 80 years for marijuana charges and for possessing firearms during a drug-trafficking offense. The only legal hope for Chris Williams now is for President Obama to pardon him. Read more here: http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal-a/2012_11/president_obama_must_pardon_th041118.php

This Petition is to address the flaws in the Amber Law. (1) There may be a failure to act because of age or lack of suspect. (2) Not every missing child is assumed at risk of danger or death. Because of these two criteria currently in effect, Alicia Moore's killer had time to murder her. America, We must stand together and fight for "THE ALICIA AMENDMENT to the Amber Law"! One life lost is one too many!

Identity Theft is the single largest crime in the United States. Each year hundreds of thousands of individuals, including new borns and teenagers are victim of Social Security and Identiy Theft, yet Congress and the White House have refused to act to protect its Citizens by passing any Legislation in regards to Identity Theft Protection. As the only TWO TIME victim of Identiy Theft (first social security number compromised in 2000 and a NEW Social Security Number compromised by Countrywide Home Loans selling it in 2008), I have a Federal Court Ordered Mandate for a Legislative Remedy from 2010 that has been ignored by EVERY Member of Congress (House and Senate) and the White House. We need to Force Congress to Act. Together we can make a difference.

My petition is to offer a 2nd chance for convicted felons, to afford them an opportuity to support themselves without having to return to a life of crime, in order to take care of themselves and their families.

The system failed Caylee Anthony and this is a wake up call to held parents accountable for not reporting their child missing.

It is legal in 31 states for a rapist to request the same rights as any other biological father. If a woman does decide to carry a rapist's baby and raise it, she should not have to be tied to that man forever, nor should an innocent child be exposed to someone capable of such a heinous act.
