In it's recent Protected Innocence Initiative, Shared Hope International gave the State of Arkansas an "F" for the strength of it laws protecting minor children from sexual trafficking and slavery.

When a person is charged with criminal acts against a child, and the State has the evidence to convict if it goes to trial. and the accused perputrator takes the plea bargain....that perputrator should not ever be allowed to plea under the Alford Plea, either they did it or the didn"t....no in betweens, when it involved a child. People in positions of trust even more so. When they plea under the Alford, it is like violating the child all over again. Be the first State to stop this violation against children.....Leave no child behind. My child, Kelly Rae Sowell got left behind........more than once by the system, by the Alford Plea...Kelly's Law.....NO Alford Plea when it involves a child.

According to this story in the Santa Fe New Mexican, police responding to an alleged Internet crime hopped a fence into the property of the reported VICTIM of the crime and shot her 11-year-old dog, leaving its corpse on the front porch for the innocent owner and her young children to see when they returned home. http://www.santafenewmexican.com/Local%20News/State-police-shoot-dog

This petition will cover every county and state with Mississippi. This is putting only qualified Bar Passed lawyers in our Judicial system starting with every "Justice" Court in the State of Mississippi.

Officer Sean Lagier is a Correctional Officer at Warm Springs Correctional Center in Carson City, NV. Officer Lagier was a victim of an attack by two inmates on January 31, 2012. The attack was provoked by Officer Lagier because of his intense harrassment of the inmates. Officer Lagier has a record for harrassing the inmates so severely that he was put on probation at one point and has had many grievances against him, yet they are considering bringing him back on duty at Warm Springs. This cannot happen, this man needs to be investigated and action needs to be brought against him, as well as Ms Cynthia Thomas and Warden Smith, who not only knew of the Officer's sadistic behavior, but encouraged it.

I am making this petition for anyone that is behind the West Memphis Three. Back in 1993 the state of Arkansas railroad three innocent teens for the brutal murders of three little 8 year old boys. Although the guys have maintained the innocence from day one and been let out of prison via an Alford Plea, the real killer/killers are still to this day at large. Show your support and let the state of Arkansas know that you as an American will not stand for this kind of injustice. I for one find appalling that the sate of Arkansas or any state for that matter would ruin the lives of three innocent people rather than put the real killer/killers behind bars. So please if you agree sign with me ----Thank You

Revamping how the Illinois Department of Corrections spends our tax dollars. There is a lot of frivolous spending in all departments going on. School teachers gt paid not to come to work and everything is monopolized and the IDOC receives a kickback.

The war on drugs has failed. The public is seeking alternatives to punitive drug policies that have done little to curb substance abuse or drug-related crime and violence. We want President Obama to initiate a national dialogue that would identify policy alternatives grounded in science, compassion, public health and human rights.

Ofc. Jim Peters shot JOHN LOXAS while he was holding his grandchild just after he called his daughter to tell her to come because of the police commotion. Mr. Loxas had no weapon, was turning away from officers to walk back into the home, and probably was setting his grandson down as the reports say he was lowering the child from around his head to the lower right side of his body. In other words, when Ofc. Peters shot and killed Mr. Loxas, Mr. Loxas was not an imminent physical threat to anyone, not police, not his grandson, not anyone.

I believe it is time in the USA voting population to have the opportunity to vote on adding an amendment to the Bill of Rights to legalize the use, growth and selling of marijuana. It is time to end the War on Plants!!!

In 1999, two teenagers rampaged their school and caused a deadly school shooting, killing 13 before themselves. Thirteen years later, Lifetime is now in talks of making a mini-series based on this event, and possibly exploring the two teens' lives prior, but many people are against it. I believe it should be made, for our generation's sake.

Originally 3rd Strike advocates were intending to lock away seriously violent predators/murderers for 25 years - life. Unfortunately now we have many non-threatening aged prisoners who were sentenced to life (essentially) on a non-violent/minor offense because in their youth (before 3rd Strike sentencing statutes) they had committed felonies such as residential burglary or possession of a deadly weapon. Now our state is supporting these aged prisoners' in their increasing health care costs, while the prisoners themselves may not be incarcerated for a serious felony.
