  • Charlotte-Mecklenburg marijuana rationality reform petition
    According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s annual Uniform Crime Report 2010, marijuana arrests now comprise more than one-half (52 percent) of all drug arrests in the United States. We demand that our city stop arresting and prosecuting non-violent consumers of Marijuana and instead refocus its law enforcement resources to more effectively combat violent crime. We urge the city council to pass an ordinance making marijuana arrests the lowest police priority within the city of Charlotte-Mecklenburg, and we specifically request that an ounce or less (30grams) of marijuana be effectively decriminalized within the area.

  • Victoria S. Nealy: Racial and gender disparities in Mississippi's sentencing
    My niece Victoria Shante Nealy was wrongfully sentenced up to 10 years in prison for a crime she was forced to plead guilty without an attorney present. The Mississippi judge sentenced her to 10 years and suspended 7, thus with 3 years to serve. This sentencing is racially motivated at best. Victoria is an African-American female, single, with two beautiful little girls who is a wonderful mother and hardworker. She was working several jobs to support her children and ill mother. She is a christian woman who will do anything to help others with an infectious personality. She has never been arrested before, no previous criminal record. She paid the money back but still was given a harsh and cruel sentence. The same crime was committed by several white females in Meridian, Mississippi but were given only probation with no jail or prison time serve. Indeed, my niece's wrongful sentencing has devastated my family to say the least. We are outraged by this verdict. We are calling on the judge, Lester Williamson to overturn the sentencing of my niece and set her free immediately. We are demanding that the racially motivated unequal sentencing of African Americans, especially African-American females to end in Mississippi's criminal justice system so that innocent people of color will not become part of a growing and evil prison industrial complex. Shalom.

  • Bar Associations are Frauds
    All bar associations in California are frauds, especially the California Bar Association. They were created to defraud the public, to prevent victims from demanding attorneys be held accountable for their crimes. They were created by attorneys, are financed by attorneys, and are the reason why so many attorneys are career criminals. Every member of every bar association is aware of the scam and all must be prosecuted and held accountable to their victims.

  • Punish animal abusers, create registry
    Through social media my eyes have been opened to the amount of animal abuse that takes place in our state of Michigan. It breaks my heart seeing poor innocent animals abused and their abusers getting away with it or being minimally convicted, hence why this issue continues to grow. We need to step up the level of punishment for those who abuse animals and crack down on this ever increasing issue.

  • Felony Charges For Deliberate Mass Disinformation
    For years I have watched as individuals and organizations have fabricated or intentionally twisted facts, disseminating the disinformation on public media outlets to further their political or personal gain. Often this disinformation is broadcast or published without any fact checking. If our democracy requires an informed public and informed voters then there can be no greater offense than deliberately misinforming the public. Certainly there is no end to this unless such action are criminalized. From newscasts to printed media to campaign ads; knowingly lying to the public is just wrong.

  • Mitt, release five years of tax returns
    The whole country is in peril because of the Bush tax cuts and the loopholes in the tax code. A man who we may hire as President has money in three different countries, I believe to evade taxes. Contrary to tradition, he has released only one complete tax return. I want a man running for the highest office to have keep the law. His behavior makes me think he hasn't.
