Although I am a noncriminal, law-abiding citizen, I am currently serving six months of the Misdemeanor Drug Court Prevention program, and although I have nothing but respect for the law and acknowledge that I have a debt to pay to society regardless of whether or not I agree with it, I can say that MDCP is the single largest waste of both our law enforcement/judicial resources and taxpayer dollars, and furthermore, given the scientific evidence that outweighs and disproves decades of government propaganda, I wish to enjoy my marijuana in the safety and comfort of my own home. I am calling on those who favor RESPONSIBLE recreational use of marijuana, through a state regulated, monitored and taxed agricultural production, distribution and retail system to sign this petition.

I was sexually assaulted by a male massage therapist named Leslie on Sept. 22, 2012. Dr. Michael Boyson admitted twice that they've had the same complaints (plural) from other women (plural).The owner, Dr. Scott Asay also stated that they've had complaints from other women. Leslie was fired on Sept. 25. According to the Chandler Police Dr. Asay stated that they've had only one other complaint against him and it was not of a sexual nature. He LIED, and not only is he going to go to the next massage therapy office and assault again, he has two doctors actually protecting him.

In Connecticut, the supreme court overturned the conviction of Richard Fourtin Jr. who had been sentenced to 6 years in prison in 2008 for sexually assaulting a woman with severe cerebral palsy, on the grounds that since she did not express her non consent, the sex was consensual. This petition states that there should be no law which could be interpreted this way; Connecticut should immediately rewrite their legislation with regards to definitions of rape and what defines consent, so that something this disgusting will never happen again. The woman in this case, name withheld for privacy, cannot verbally communicate, and the defense argued that because she did not kick or bite or scratch, she was giving consent. This shouldn't be acceptable in any way shape or form as a defense, and under the current law it is. The law must therefore be changed.

On March 26th, 2012 my Daughter in Law who was 6 months pregnant was killed in an auto accident. The lady who caused this accident that devastated our family walked away with 2 Misdemeanors, 1 for Careless and Imprudent and the other crossing the center line. This lady should have faced Involuntary Manslaughter and lost her drivers license at the least. She received a fine and 48 hours in jail and Our family was left broken,a mother to suffer, a young husband losing his soulmate, her 3 year old daughter left without her mommy. This law needs to be reviewed so that people who are careless have to face up to their actions and hopefully learn from it so there will be a change and no other family will suffer the way we have.

This is pure un-American and criminal behavior, from the GOP. The Justice Department needs to start an immediate and very transparent investigation into the fraudulent voter registration practices perpetuated by the Republican Party. This is to big for each state to handle, and has crossed multiple state lines.

We've recently heard from folks in South Dakota who are outraged that Senator John Thune voted to block a billion-dollar veteran jobs program and want him to explain why he abandoned our veterans despite their high rate of unemployment and homelessness. It sounds like MoveOn members would be interested in signi

LAWS that effect OUR Children [black boys and men] in America and The State of Georgia Remember If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem

The death penalty is a system that just does not work. It is expensive to operate, it does not deter crime, and it also creates and endless cycle of misery. The state of Georgia, like many states in the US, is facing financial problems. The outlawing of capital punishment in the state of Georgia would give the state some financial breathing room, help to clear the backlog of cases in the court system, and could help to fully fund programs that actually help the state. I urge the governor of Georgia and other lawmakers in the state House and state Senate to outlaw capital punishment in the state of Georgia.

This petition is about bringing in any and all outside help to stop the blood shed in Chicago streets. Everyone in Chicago has been affected by the violence in one way or another. We all have friends, relatives or ourselves that have buried their children.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), road rage is defined as "an assault with a motor vehicle or other dangerous weapon by the operator or passenger(s) of another motor vehicle or an assault precipitated by an incident that occurred on a roadway." Road rage requires willful and wanton disregard for the safety of others. According to American Automobile Association (AAA), 1,500 men, women and children are injured or killed yearly and constantly increasing by 7%. -My daughter, Diyamond, age 20, was killed on the highway going west bound on I96 due to road rage. She like many others are now part of that statistic. -Jeremy Bushen, age 22, was killed on the same highway (east bound -I96). -Stevie Beal, at 17, was left paralyze from the waist down. -Braylon Nelson, age 2, was left paralyze. -Billy Fleenor, father of four, was killed And many more....... Our legislator, local, state and federal political officials, have the chance to send a strong zero tolerate message of this behavior through legislator's Road Rage Laws... The time is now to assist in saving lives.

I was unfortunate enough to get a felony a few years ago for a dui. Although, I understand that I have done wrong and may have potentially killed someone, I believe that my felony should be expundged from my record after 7 years providing I haven't had any recent infractions or even any sort of speeding ticket. The fact that this felony was designed to change the life of someone who deserved it is very real. I have lost more of my life because of it and honestly it makes me not want to live. In all reality all this does is make me want to do the "wrong thing" more. Society demands that you rehabilitate and make yourself a better person but very unwilling to give that chance. I myself know from experience. I have been in school since around 1998 and the best job I could find was one that I was burned constantly, cut, and even litterally burned my eyes at times, and for what, 12.00 an hr. I have been in school for 15 years trying to make myself a better person only to be pushed down and pretty much descriminated against. After 15 years of schooling and being a good person, volunteering for charitable events, being a volunteer fire fighter, being active in our community emergency response team, and doing other various things for my community I still have nothing. I have also been seeing a psychologist since 2006 to help me understand why I did what I did. I have several letters (upon request) from pillars of my community, my probation officer and a sherriff. I would like to have a family someday but I see with the jobs that I am getting I won't be able to raise a child correctly and honestly. Nor will I ever get the chance for a real chance at life or freedom. I know what I did was wrong but I'm asking and pleading, please give me one more chance at living a full life free and clear. At the age of 32 I believe there is still much good I can do for myself, my family, and my community.
