  • STOP WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS NOW
    Wrongful convictions are at epidemic proportions! DNA evidence has released many innocent citizens. Prosecutor and police misconduct to close a case, and ensure a "high conviction" rate keeps this epidemic alive and well. In Florida, Harold W. Scism became victim to a wrongful conviction in 2009. He was given a life sentence for a crime that never occurred. There was no evidence nor DNA evidence. The prosecutor, known for her high conviction rate, was later given the judgeship. Enough is enough. STOP wrongful convictions NOW!!!

  • Criminal Prosecution
    The investigation and prosecution of those in government and the financial sector who violated Constitutional Law thereby contributing to the financial meltdown and the mortgage crisis. Using Watergate as a template, the president should direct Congress to begin this process with public hearings.

  • Gov. Corbett Must Resign
    Thomas W. Corbett, while he was Attorney General of Pennsylvania and later as Governor, has allowed politics to supersede sound judgment in the child abuse scandal at Penn State. While Attorney General, he delayed making an arrest for years despite having eyewitness testimony of child rape. As Governor he gave millions of dollars to Second Mile despite his knowledge that they were at the center of the child rape scandal. At best, Corbett has used poor judgment. At worst, Corbett allowed politics to trump protecting children and prosecuting criminal actions. It is time for Corbett to resign.

  • Legalize medical grass and decriminalize the rest.
    In 14 states, VAs give medical grass to vets. What about the vets in different states? Did they serve in another country's army? Alcohol and cigarettes are more dangerous to health than weed. I beat pancreatic cancer in 2010 but couldn't legally smoke grass because I live in New York. New Jersey is OK? Of course our country is divided. By laws as well. No good.

  • End The War On Drugs
    Today, more than 60% percent of America's imate population are incarderqted for nonviolent crimes. This government policy implemented more than 30 years ago by the Reagan administration has not only been capricious and unjust, in that minorities have been it primary target, it has also been one of biggest drains on taxpayer's dollars. This failed policy has been an economic burden on the American taxpayer, causing a never ending need to spend precious resources in order to build more prisons to incarcerate instead of spending those tax dollars to educate our children, not to mention, releasing violent criminals into our communities in order to relieve prison overcrowding. We must put an end to this government madness. Please help by signing this petition so that we can send the message to President Obama and Congress that we want this decades old failed policy to end, and stop the waste of American taxpayer's money.

This Petition aims to repeal SEC. 1021 & 1022, thus holding our government officials accountable to their oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States".

  • Legalize Marijuana
    Legalizing marijuana, like dropping alcohol prohibition, will free law enforcement for other functions. Legalizing will create jobs, and tax income, and drop the number of families ruined by possession, and property confiscation. Legalization will reduce prison populations. Each individual not incarcerated will save over $40,000 per year which could go into educational programs. Use and sale of marijuana should not be a crime, there are no victims..
