Fourteen years ago, my dad, Jerry kent Jones, was arrested on a Agervaited Robbery case because he was on drugs really bad. I really didnt know much about him. I was barley being born when he seen me. He was at the hospital and seen me be born, but he had to go because he was wanted and he was running from the police:/ The drugs took my dad from me my mom and my sister's. He had a history, but today, he is serving a life sentence without parole because he chose drugs , alcohol etc. My dad wasnt a bad guy. He just messed up..... like everyone does! People make mistakes and they learn from them! My dad has been in there 14yrs now and i think that is enough. He has missed my whole childhood and wasnt there for any events that included a father at school. He cant be here for when i graduate or when i get married etc.... It was hard for my mom because she had all five children to raise on her own. He was with my mom for a while. My mom Melissa Cheek and my grandma Sonia Cardenas would tell me stories about him. My dad would fix my older sister's hair in the morning for school and it would look pretty crazy. He would take care of my sisters and i know he loves us because he writes us letters. My dad Jerry kent Jones wasnt the best dad in the world but he was there for me and my sisters at some point. Its crazy how someone can kill somebody and get out 5 yrs later but my dad is in there for life. I don't see how his incarceration is serving any good purpose for our society. If President Obama does not commute my father's sentence, he will likely die in prison, especially since he has diabetes and has had medical complications and requirements that are not being properly met. i miss my dad with all my heart and soul!!! Please sign my petition so I can be with my father. We want to make up for the time we have missed out on. You will end so much suffering if this petition succeeds in bringing him home to me.

The house ,Paul Ryan, is threatening to "privatize" social security and put into Wall Street. That is NOT their money. It belongs to the people who invested in it, including the interest they "borrowed" from it.. We do Not give you permission to STEAL IT.

We want a level-playing field for drivers without compromising public safety. We believe that finger-printing is not a burden and keeps the public safe and confident in the industry which is also good for working drivers.

111-16-2016, THIS PETITION IS BEING CIRCULATED TO HELP STOP BIGOT STEVE O'BANNON FROM CONTROLLING THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT - PEOPLE WITH HIS HATEFUL RHETORIC/DIALOGUE, TODAY!!!

Everyone is discouraged by lies in politics.

This petition affects the 742,000 illegal immigrants brought to this country as CHILDREN who willingly gave all of their personal info to the Obama administration in good faith with the expectations and understanding that they would be able to become US citizens. Now that same info may be used against them under President Trump's new policy of mass deportation. Please do not allow this to happen!

President elect Trump wants to do what no other president in my 60 year memory has done – split his time between sleeping in the White House, the People’s House, and in his "beloved" penthouse in Trump Towers. This would truly make him an elitist president rather than a president for ALL the people.

Cherry Point, or Xwe’chi’eXen, is considered sacred to the Lummi Nation and protected by the Treaty of Point Elliott of 1855. In May, the Army Corps of Engineers recognized this treaty and denied permits for a coal shipping terminal at Cherry Point. Now, we are requesting that the state Department of Natural Resources follow the Corps' lead and protect Cherry Point for all future Lummi Nation people by adding the sacred 45 acres of land to the Cherry Point Aquatic Reserve. The deadline for commentary is November 18.

As we attempt to accept the outcome of the outcome of the recent election, we must continue to be part of this democracy. The President-Elect has told us "not to be scared" but, at the same time he has put a racist, anti-Semitic into a high, advisory position. Now he is coming up with a short list for cabinet positions that include hawks, climate-deniers, racists, hate-mongering candidates. Basically, while trying to sound more "presidential", his nominations seem to be very much in line with the divisive rhetoric that he spoke throughout the campaign. We need to make the Senators, who can confirm or deny these cabinet assignments, understand that we are watching. They need to represent us to earn our votes for the next round. We will not forget how they vote in this transition period.

Facebook allowed fake news sites and racists news sites to influence the US Election. Chief among them was Brietbart news, who ran a trending fake news story alleging that Hillary Clinton was about to be indicted by the FBI. Brietbart News also spreads anti-semitic, alt-right, and white supremacist 'news' stories throughout Facebook. Facebook should support an inclusive, open community, not serve as a channel for hate and divisiveness. We are all affected by Mark Zuckerberg's decision to allow hateful and fake news to take over Facebook. Keep Facebook safe for all people, regardless of creed, color, religion, or sex orientation and sign the petition today!

To protect children

I care about this country and I do not want to see the office of President degraded and used for personal gain. The President must be held to the highest ethical standard in order to preserve the integrity of our system of government. Please sign this petition!
