American Justice demands second chances. Persons convicted of sex offenses, who have served their time have a lower recidivism rate than almost any other criminal. We expect those who have served their time to reform and become productive citizens. At the same time, without any evidence in support, lawmakers created an impossible set of rules that server to make it almost impossible for these people to become productive citizens again. The only persons who really should know where former offenders live are law enforcement persons, not the general public. FBI statistics show that a person released for other types of offenses is MORE LIKELY to commit a sex offense than are former sex offenders. These laws punish the entire family of a former offender, often forcing those families to evict their own sons or daughters or lose their homes. Former offenders cannot find suitable homes or jobs. Many become homeless with no address to report. Vigilantes have used registries to harass, fire bomb, vandalize and even murder former offenders. In a few cases innocent persons have been mistaken for someone on registries and murdered. Persons have been branded for life this way because they had sex with their own girlfriends who happened to be under 18 at the time...even for public urination !

Petitioning for tougher and faster punishments for child molesters with clear physical and DNA evidence would deter a lot these criminals. If they know their trials would faster with much stiffer penalties it could save many more children over time for being prayed upon.

Jerry Sandsuky will be getting $59,000 annually from penn state and at tax payers expense your hard earned tax dollars are going to him, despite being a pedophile and having 45 charges of child sex abuse. This is not justice he does not deserve any of it, he's a sick criminal who took the innocence of young children and should do nothing but be fed bread and water. This is so so wrong we need to stop this it breaks my heart I just don't believe in the justice system anymore please give me faith that there is still justice in this world don't let this horrible man win. If it was your child who had this happen to woulnd't you wanna do something? Even if they are not your child just imagine the emotional scars he left on these poor kids.

I believe that there should be jail sentences and larger fines for individuals that hit and kill motorcyclists. I also believe that these laws should be nationwide.

This petition is to call in President Obama and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, former cabinet member of President Obama to do Something to quell the violence in America's 3rd largest city. This isn't a problem in Africa, Asia or some distant place in the world, this is in our own Country! There have been 254 murders in Chicago to date and 154 soldiers killed in Afghanistan since the beginning of 2012. Something needs to be done. The President calls Chicago his Hometown and Rahm Emanuel is the mayor of Chicago. Can we not put some federal resources in place to help the citizens of Chicago?

Walgreen Drug Company is one of the last corperations still contributing to this right wing organizations. Such funds have aided many states in their efforts to pass "Stand Your Ground " laws which have resulted in the commision of numerous homisides including the murder of Travon Martin in Florida

During my travels across the country, I use my credit card as a safe way to manage my money. On the back of my card for the signature, I have printed "See ID". I also attempt to show my ID and businesses never look or they tell me, "we don't check IDs". I ask, "so...if I come in and I happen to have your credit card and use it, it is okay because you all don't check?" In an time when identity theft is on the rise, one simple thing a business can do is check identification against the credit card. There should be a law in place across the country, consistently enforced.

Many people are incarcerated in the Cook County Jail for driving on suspended revoked in Illinois and they need help instead of incarceration. The jail is so full of drivers that have done nothing except for driving on suspended and some have never even had a license. The jail could use this room for more serious crimes and the people could use a program to help them get their license. We need some laws changed to cut down on the number of persons incarcerated.

I lost my driving privileges for the next 3 years because my attorney misrepresented me, and yet Violent Offenders and Habitual Drunk Drivers can continue to drive and be a danger to the community. I want to call on you to put a stop to me losing my driving privileges and Habitual Violent Offenders and Drunk Drivers can keep theirs. This is Profiling and illegal.

The USA prison system is barbaric, racist, and unjust. The privatization of prisons make it the largest internal industry. What does this say about us? Let's no longer turn our backs on the most vulnerable population - this unmentionable shadow side of our nation.

Hi, Eric Holder is the latest hostage in the Republican majority's bid to remove President Obama from office. Their measures are extreme, inflammatory, racist and a misuse of their time and energies and our tax dollars. To vote for contempt is to continue the downward spiral of the public's view of congress being viscous, partisan, petty and willing to ruin other people's lives and careers to achieve their aims. Stop this procedure!! That's why I created a petition to The United States House of Representatives, which says: "Stop the Contempt Vote for Eric Holder. If it is scheduled, Vote NO." Will you sign this petition? Click here: http://signon.org/sign/no-contempt-for-eric?source=c.em.mt&r_by=1129263 Thanks!
