Justice for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, et. al.Impunity for crimes they committed exists in perpetuity unless they are prosecuted. The rule of law is moot. From starting a war of agression to torture to illegal wiretaping, the Bush team's mass illegality goes unprosecuted.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by mansur johnson

Repair and Reunite Broken FamiliesHarmless Pot Crimes fill our prisons, while Destructive Sex Offenders fill our neighborhoods. A SO's must simply register, while a pot smoker faces 10-25years for his/her first Federal offence. Women are currently the fastest growing prison population (3 out of 5 have children) Drug use is a treatable medical issue not a criminal one, where as, sex offences are an untreatable and incurable criminal issue, not a medical one.

Prisons for criminals not mentally illCalifornia prisons are full. Many are mentally ill people. Turn a few prisons into places to keep the mentally ill prisoners in and move the real criminals into the cells vacated by them. Exchange the jobs of prison guards for medical personnel. It would be cheaper and and more sane.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anne Fitzgerald

Prosecute employees of GlaxoSmithKline on criminal fraud chargesU.K.-based pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a corporate "person" in the eyes of the federal government (http://blog.timesunion.com/occupyalbany/corporations-are-people/394/), has pleaded guilty to criminal charges in what even the mainstream media is calling the largest healthcare fraud case in history. And though the company is having to fork over $3 billion in collective fines for its illegal activity, no actual GSK employees or executives are being held personally responsible for their crimes.

Justice for Dan Two FeathersIn 2008, Dan Two Feathers made the choice to help a friend, who had a secret partner that Dan didn't know about. These two had devised a scheme to defraud investors. These investors lost their money and Dan discovered all too late that it was a scam. Seeking to accept responsibility for his part, Dan on March 7th 2012 plead guilty to 4 counts related to securities fraud. On Friday, June 15th, Dan was sentenced to 6 years in prison. After 60 days of incarceration Dan will lose his VA Disability Pension until he is released and reapplies for it, which will take a year or more to get it, which means that he will end up living on the Streets in Montana for a year or more, in a wheelchair with his medical conditions. This was known to the Courts at the time of his sentencing since they had Medical Records, letters from Medical Professionals and a letter from the Veterans Administration confirming the time period after release. Dan simply asked to serve his time under house arrest so that he could continue receiving medical attention from Doctors that are familiar with his medical conditions. The Court denied this request and now the sentence equates to a Death Sentence for a Non-Capital Offense which is a violation of his 8th Amendment Rights which protect against Cruel and Unusual Punishment.To add insult to injury, Dan’s Attorney from the Federal Defenders of Montana’s Office refused to express to the Court the results of such a sentence and to champion Dan’s case to the Court to convince them otherwise. While Dan has asked his Attorney to Appeal the sentence, if his Attorney fights for him with the Appeal as he did at time of sentencing, Dan will certainly lose the Appeal. Dan has no other choice but to allow him to do the Appeal since Dan has no way to hire an Attorney that would truly fight for him. Dan’s Attorney informed Dan that he only had 2 choices, one, which was whether to go to trial and two, whether to appeal or not. Dan asked him to file for a Stay of Sentence during Appeal’s process and to file to correct the sentence based on the 8th Amendment but the Attorney refused. Dan is simply asking that his sentence be commuted to serving at House Arrest. He can be restricted to his home except for Medical and Counseling appointments only. He can make arrangements for someone to go grocery shopping for him, as well as still parent his six year old daughter Trinity. Serving his sentence under House Arrest will do several things. It will allow for the punishment to be served for the crime committed, it would allow Dan to continue receiving his Disability Pension, and it would allow him to have a roof over his head and food to eat. Serving his sentence at House Arrest would also prevent him from having to spend a year or more on the streets in Western Montana and will save taxpayers monies that would be need to house and treat him while in prison. Under current statistics to imprison a healthy person for 6 years it cost the taxpayer approximately $286,000.00, a prisoner in Dan’s condition would cost approximately 3 times that amount. Had he known from the beginning, what his friend was really engaging in, Dan never would have agreed to participate. His losses will be more than financial. For a non capital crime, Dan is at risk of losing his life. Without the regular care of his doctors, six years in prison is tantamount to a death sentence. Recently, in the state of Washington a bus driver was charged and convicted of five counts of molestation, to which he received thirty days per count in the county jail. In the News within the past year there was Citigroup that defrauded investor of over $1 Billion and to avoid prosecution to any of their Executives all criminal Charges were dropped after they paid a fine of approximately $250 million. Or Glaxo-Smith-Kline who defrauded the public on some medications and they were allowed to pay a fine so that all criminal charges would be dropped against their Executives. Surely these are more grievous crimes. Dan Two-Feathers sentence is not justice; please sign this petition asking the court to reconsider its current stance of a six year sentence for a non violent offender and commute it to House Arrest. Thank you, and please pass this on to your friends.199 of 200 SignaturesCreated by mbrooksjohnson

Former Parolee Forgiveness Act 2012People who have been on probation are given the opportunity to have their criminal record expunged after they complete their probation term. Parolees of the California Department of Corrections can, after seven years, petition for a Governor's pardon, but cannot have their criminal record expunged. Governor Brown could sign legislation that would provide parolees who have completed their parole term without any violations and have proven exempliary citizenship for a 5-year period, to have their criminal record expunged.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christina Kelley

Policy BrutalityI would like to see some new laws protecting citizens from police officers and police brutality. They have to much power to physically abuse potential suspects, for example Kelly Thomas, Rodney King, kicking a pregnant woman in the stomach, kicking a woman in the head that was sitting on the curb handcuffed and not a threat to the officer. I would like to see some laws passed such as: not allowed to beat someone in the head with a flashlight or a fist or kicking them, not allowed to kick pregnant women in the stomach, not allow officers to pile on top of people causing the suspects ribs to break and puncture a lung, crushing their windpipe so that they suffocate. If they suspect a person is mentally ill, there should be an advocate on duty at all times called to the scene to assess the suspect and protect suspect and escort the suspect with the police to a hospital if needed during a mental crisis. If the police cannot assess if a person is mentally ill, perhaps a course in mentall illness should be included in their training along with a course on compassion. The police should not be bullying suspects or threating them, or provoking them. They are suppose to serve and protect, not abuse and kill! Their job is to apprehend, handcuff, and put in police car for transport without physically abusing a person. When they use a stun gun, they cannot expect a person to get up and walk immediately after that and then continue to drag the person across the pavement, they cannot stand up because they have just been stunned! They should not be allowed to bully, antagonize, or threaten. Limits need to be set NOW!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Heather Williams
