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 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.

An officer of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, John Cruz, was fired, after reporting to numerous government agencies in 2008-2010, amassed in 1,000 pages of evidence, and 20 hours of taped conversations, that the bank was laundering massive amounts of drug money through fake, dummy accounts. This must be fully investiated by Congress instead of covered up

MY PEITION IS PRETAINING TO ALLOWING INMATES TO BE RELEASED AFTER SERVING A BIG PORTION OF THEIR TIME.PEOPLE SHOULD SIGN MY PETITION BECAUSE IT'S FAIR TO BE RELEASED AFTER SERVING 22 YRS. OF A 15 TO LIFE SENTENCE

Florida's stand your ground defense appears only to apply when you shoot someone dead. Marissa Alexander fired a warning shot at her abusive husband, once of the bullets went through the childrens room. The bullet did not hit anyone. She received a 20 year sentence from an unjust judge and prosecution team. Instead of us examining other countries laws, we should be examining our own, without delay and political red tape.

The conviction and sentencing to 20 years in prison of an abused woman, Melissa Alexander, for shooting a warning shot in the direction of her abuser.

This petition is to change the existing Vicious Dog Law (NJSA 4:19-22) in NJ to protect human beings from any dog who has been shown to be aggressive and has caused injury and pain by an attack on a person. The current law requires that the dog must be shown to have been previously vicious and attacked unprovoked before a municipal judge will order the dog to be euthanized. This is done by assigning a 3-digit number to the dog which follows it around the state. In other words, more than one person must suffer an injury before the law will stop the animal from causing more injury in the future. My 4-year-old granddaughter was maimed and disfigured by a pit bull/boxer mix who has shown previous aggression and has nipped others since. The dog is being protected by the municipality where it now resides because "It appears to be happy and healthy." Meanwhile the child is left to face mutiple surgeries and many nights of terror-filled dreams. We have no recourse against the animal with the current law as it is written and so I hope to encourage a change in the current law so that innocent children and other persons will not have to wait for an animal to viciously attack before it can be stopped by seizing and euthanizing it. Why should a vicious animal be allowed more chances to prove its dangerous temperament? My child will not have more chances, she is disfigured and traumatized for life!

Three local neighbors spent months trying to see an end to celebratory gunfire through deployment of gunfire location technology. After months of work, those same neighbors need five minutes of your time to give this technology the best possible chance at deployment. Our NPU Public Safety Chair (Ron Lall) sent out an email two weeks ago discussing an initiative to launch ShotSpotter gunshot location technology in Atlanta. This technology is capable of detecting the source of gunfire within inches, and allows distinguishing between actual gunfire events and other sounds which mimic gunfire, such as fireworks. Technical info is available at www.shotspotter.com and a short video explaining the technology is here: http://youtu.be/V28UMrWGARk In short, Councilmember Julian Bond proposed an ordinance that would allow for funding of the ShotSpotter technology in Atlanta. This is exacly what we need to isolate where gunfire is coming from and allow APD to respond to the exact site of gunfire incidents. This ordinance was held recently and is up for discussion with all involved parties and NOW is the time to request support from our representatives! If it bothers you that we can't tell the difference between gunfire and fireworks, that our APD officers waste time driving around in circles trying to locate a possible gunfire event, or that we can't prove where gunfire is coming from with any certainty, please take a moment to help:
