• Justices Service Limit
    Justices serve in the Supreme Court for life. I think this should be change to serve for a maximum of 10 years, on which the President, would elect another justice. I think this will create a more balanced Justice system, and stop the abuses from those judges, that are not for the service of the people.

  • Impeach Clarence Thomas
    Clarence Thomas has broken the laws over and over again and lied under oath in his confirmation hearings! He is a disgrace to America. He has taken payments through his wife from entities or individuals on cases he has ruled on! He is a disgrace to all of America!

  • Appoint a neutral outside agency to oversee Internal Affairs Investigations of Police Officers
    We need an agency to review reported misconduct brought to the attention of local Internal Affairs Officers. Unfortunately, the officer who reviews and investigates these complaints tend to be coworkers and this either needs to change or oversite is needed to ensure citizens complaints are not just being written off.

  • Texas Dept of Criminal Justice: INJUSTICE
    We lost our high-school friend Hart almost 30 years ago to a violent, non-remorseful criminal with a long history of crime. Hart had a life full of promise. He had just graduated high school, and was attending a technical college in Texas, when he and several friends were brutally attacked by several grown men outside a nightclub. Those men had criminal records a mile long. John Wilkins was found guilty of the murder, and sentenced to LIFE in a Texas prison. But for the past 20 years or so, Hart's family has endured parole reviews every 1-1/2 to 3 years. The Texas DOCJ can choose to give prisoners a "5-year setoff," which means that only every five years is the prisoner up for parole. Instead, they choose to use shorter setoffs as incentive with prisoners to encourage them to behave. This practice creates stress and anxiety in the families...they already lost a loved one, but to be continually tortured with parole reviews every couple of years is inhumane. The State of Texas needs to take the needs of victim's families into consideration, and extend setoffs to a reasonable amount of time as DEFINED BY THE FAMILIES. Not the prisoner.

  • Justice for Kenneth Chamberlain Sr.
    On November 19, 2011, at approximately 5 a.m., 68-year-old Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr., was at his home located at 135 S. Lexington Avenue in White Plains, New York. He was a 20-year veteran of the Westchester County Department of Corrections, and he proudly served the United States of America as a Marine, receiving an honorable discharge. He stood about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and he suffered from a heart condition. His medical alert device sent an alert to his service provider, which placed a call to the City of White Plains Department of Public Safety. In response to the call, police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians went to Chamberlain’s home. Once at his house, the police knocked on his door and were verbally greeted by him. He told them that he did not need assistance and that there was no medical emergency. He told them that he did not call them. Despite being told that there was no need for their services, the police refused to leave and insisted that he let them into his home. Kenneth had not committed any crime, and he declined to let them into his home. He communicated with police at length, and his medical alert service provider advised the White Plains Police Department that they wanted to withdraw their request for medical assistance because there was no emergency. Despite this information, the police continued to insist that they gain an entry to his apartment. During the incident, the police banged the door over and over again, causing him to fear for his life. In fact, he even contacted his medical alert service provider while the police were banging on his door and asked them for help. He told them that the White Plains Police employees were outside his door and were going to kill him. The medical alert service provider recorded the communications between the police and the victim. During the incident, the police were disrespectful to him and threatened him as he stood in his apartment and told them that he just wanted to be left alone. The police continued to bang on the front door for approximately an hour. During that time they taunted him, cursed at him, and called him a "n*****." They ultimately broke through his apartment door and forced their way into his apartment, all without his consent. Upon entering his home, and without warning or prior verbal warnings or orders, police immediately used a Taser weapon and attempted to shock him with the Taser’s electricity. He was standing approximately six to eight feet away from the officers, and he was wearing nothing but boxer shorts when the police began their assault against him. After using the Taser against him, everything else is questionable except for the fact that two 40 caliber rounds were fired into Chamberlain's chest, which resulted in his death. Autopsy shows that KC was shot while standing with his arms at his side, through one arm, puncturing the lungs. The toxicology exam said that “no drugs of abuse were detected.” Cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxant, was found in Chamberlain’s blood. We are calling on the United States Department of Justice or the New York State Attorney General to prosecute this as a hate crime, since it appears that his killing was motivated by racial hatred.

  • Irving Police Department
    With the arrest of Patrica we will be one step closer to finding and arresting Yaser Said, and with both parents behind bars Justice will finally be served for Amina and Sarah. New Years Day January 1 2008 in Irving Texas Amina and Sarah Said were murdered by their father Yaser Abdul Said an Egyptian immigrant for dating non muslin boys, Amina age 18 shot two times and Sarah age 17 nine times. The girls were brilliant young ladies dreaming of nothing more than to live their lives’ as Americans and become doctors. Their American mother Patricia Said Owens converted to Islam shortly after marrying their father in 1987 and has failed to protect these beautiful girls from the abuse they endured all their lives. The week before Christmas Yaser Said found out about his daughters American boyfriends and like many times before pulled a gun on Amina and Sarah and threatened to kill them for not following his rules. The girls managed to run out of the home to their mothers job where the girls also had part time jobs. The manager gave Patricia days off from work to take the girls to a safe place and call police, even taking up a donation among the store employee’s to help Patricia get her daughters protection, but instead Patricia took Amina and Sarah back home where their father was waiting. Their father was more furious with his daughters as the days followed. The girls knew they had to run away or be killed. Deciding to run away with their boyfriends they confined in their mother their plans to escape their father. Patricia tells her daughters she had always wanted to leave their father and asked to run with them. The girls and the boyfriends agreed to allowPatricia to go along. On Dec. 25 2007 After Yaser had left to go to work that night they all headed for Kansas. Arriving at Patricia’s aunt’s home on Wednesday the 26th. of December, Patricia tells her aunt the girls were going to run away with their boyfriends and she couldn’t let that happen, then Amina spoke up and said; "my mom said she always wanted to leave my dad so we let her come with us." During a conversation Patricia stated if she took her daughters back to Texas Yaser would defiantly kill them. By the end of the day it was decided it would be best to go to Tulsa Oklahoma a bigger city close to a collage for Amina. The next day Patricia bought a new cell phone and now had a number Yaser didn’t have, they rented an apartment and bought some furniture and the girls felt a little safer. Unfortunately unknown to Amina and Sarah and the boyfriends, their mother was talking to their father and planning on returning back to her husband. Patricia knew there was no way her daughters would return to Texas to be killed by their father so she lied to Amina and Sarah telling them she wanted to put flowers on their grandmother grave and they would spent New Year’s Day at their Aunt Connie’s, the mother’s sister. Arriving back in Texas New Years eve the girls learned their mother was going back home to Yaser their father. Amina very upset and angry and refused to go to her father’s house knowing he will kill her and went to her boyfriend’s parents and calls her Aunt Connie, "did you know my mom went back to my dad" she asked, crying and upset she tells her aunt about her mother lying to her to get her back to Texas. The next morning New Year’s started with a text asking Amina to call her mom. Amina called and her mother, who asked her to come home, again Amina refused. Patricia made call after call to Amina begging her to come home throughout the day saying her father had forgiven her and they were all going to go out to eat but Amina again refused. That evening Patricia drives to Amina boyfriends parents to talk to her daughter. Amina crying and still refusing to go with her mother begs her boyfriend to take her back to Tulsa. Patricia not getting anywhere with Amina takes her by the arm telling her to hurry up they were running out of time. Amina gives in and goes home with her mother and within a couple hours Amina and Sarah were shot to death by their father. The next day the girl’s brother Islam said Amina and Sarah got what they deserve because they knew the rules. The mother’s action in the days leading up to the murders proves the mother returned her daughters back to their father so the murders could take place as planned. Irving Police Department refuses to bring charges against Amina and Sarah's mother for her role in the murders. Clearly the proof is in the pudding and this is a double Honor Killing and the F.B.I. agreed at one point. The mother must be charged with conspiracy to murder her daughters. Sarah and Amina Said deserve JUSTICE. Please join in the fight for justice for Amina and Sarah Said by calling on the Irving Police to arrest Patricia Said Owens

  • It's Time for Maine's Attorney General to Release Joyce M. McLain's Case Records to the FBI
    It has been almost 32 years since 16 year old Joyce Marie McLain was murdered. In 2008 her body was exhumed and reexamined by two nationally known forensic pathologists and it is believed new evidence was found as a result. The Maine state police have remained silent and the attorney general appears reluctant to release the case files of this decades old unsolved murder. The time for the FBI to become involved in this case is long overdue. Their investigation could uncover new or overlooked evidence that could lead to a conviction and closure of this case. Please help make that happen by signing this petition.
