FBI Investigate numerous kidnappings, multiple child rapes, physical and mental abuse, and death ...Only 1 man was investigated, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge. Numerous young women were greatly harmed and are still suffering from years of abuse and threats. Many powerful rich men were involved, the incidents took place allegedly on private jets, mansions and even a private island. These frightened girls, now young women, never thought they had a chance at justice or to receive help. They and their families need help.102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jacalyn Engler

Congressional Hearings on Police Violence/ShootingsAnother citizen appears to be murdered by those pledged to "Protect and Serve" without justification. It's time for accountability in our LE community. Congress should forgo another investigation based on political reasons and hold meaningful hearings aimed at getting answers and solutions. I'm calling on the US Congress to convene hearings in response to another murder by LEOs of a US citizen. Law Enforcement officers are accountable, not above the law they've sworn to uphold.222 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Dexter Nunnally

Tell Law enforcement no more running 50sI'm starting this petition because we as Americans have given up way too many of our freedoms and rights in the quest for security. We have excepted the lie that certain policies and procedures are put in place to give us protection for to help defend against terrorism. But in all actuality he that is so far from the truth these freedoms and rights are taken from us to close down the gap on what we can do what we can do to make us More of a police state type of country for example some small on the municipalities in even some of the large ones now have equipment on their cruisers that run hundreds of license plates a second. This gives these smaller municipalities away to drive revenue that is borderline unconstitutional I don't care what the ruling say they shouldn't just be able to run license plates. I was affected because basically I was driving a hoop Dee in Dublin and I got followed and pulled over in the reasoning that the officer gave was he couldn't tell if my license plate was valid or not long story short my car got towed and impounded then I had to wait to be picked up by family and I spent over $500 closer to $600 on that whole ordeal getting my vehicle back. This needs to stop! This now get his police the ability to do racial profiling whenever they like for whatever reason they like and I will not stand for this I want how many others out there won't stand for it either.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Keenan Cumberland

Convict Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II for the murder of Alton SterlingAs a black woman, I feel that we as people, a group, are being targeted! In the new 38-second recording, Sterling is already on the ground, on his back. One officer is kneeling to Sterling's left. The other officer appears to be straddling Sterling's legs. Sterling can be seen from the chest up and his lower legs are also visible. His left arms and hands are not visible; his right arm is by his side. After gunshots are heard, the camera pans to the right then back to Sterling, who has a large blood stain on his chest. The officer who was on his legs now lies on the pavement above Sterling's head, his gun pointed. The officer radios for an ambulance. As Sterling moves his left arm toward his face and then his chest, the other officer appears to remove something from one of Sterling's right pockets. Baton Rouge Police Chief Carl Dabadie Jr. said Sterling was armed at the time he was killed and one witness said the officer removed a gun from Sterling's pocket. Sterling, a 37-year-old man who sold CDs and DVDs outside the store, died of his wounds. The officers involved in Tuesday's shooting -- Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II -- have been placed on administrative leave. A source close to the investigation told CNN the officers were interviewed Tuesday night. These officers deserve to be charged and convicted of FIRST degree murder! Please sign to have our voices heard!351 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Abdajah Jolly

River Common National MonumentAmerica's first park gaining a National Park designation would mean a great deal to the City of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania economically, but it would also help to honor the various legacies of people. For over five Centuries, diverse people from across the world have visited, lived, or died there - whose very remains were found on the River Common in the 1800's. Today's Common, which rests along the banks of the meandering and majestic Susquehanna River, was upgraded and completely rebuilt (2009) as part of an Army Corps Flood Control Project that stretched throughout historic Wyoming Valley in Luzerne County. Please join me in asking President Barrack H. Obama to designate the one-mile-long River Common a National Monument under the powers vested in him under the Antiquities Act. The designation will pave the way toward a future national park that will incorporate existing historic downtown structures, such as the Irem Temple Auditorium, and use as interpretive museums celebrating Native American and early Colonial American settlers. The park overlooks grounds that have looked primarily the same as they did millenniums ago; it's one of Pennsylvania's best kept historic marvels that has many incredible stories to tell visitors and the rest of the world. Help America understand and experience this little-known yet verdant, award-winning-designed, riverfront park by signing this petition today.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Scott Spinucci

Remove dangerous dogs from our cityOn Friday, June 25th, 2016, two neighbor dogs were running loose and threatened family members at 402 W Hunt St. They viciously attacked my son with intent to kill. It is important to my family and others in this community that action be taken against owner Alison Ricks, that these dogs be permanently removed from our City, and that we be informed as to where these dogs are taken to what their outcome is.68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary Ann Boyd

Justice for Alton SterlingAlton Sterling was a 37-year-old Black father of five selling CDs outside of a local store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He did not deserve to die. Yet here we are again. Another Black man slain by police. Another hashtag carrying the fury and pain of his community. And another family deep in mourning—in the same state that passed the 'Blue Lives Matter' bill to silence protests against police violence. On Tuesday night, Alton Sterling was selling CDs outside a local store, like he always does, when police arrived on the scene. The police tased him, held him down on the ground, and shot him in the chest and back. In the witness-recorded video, you can hear one of the officers shouting "If you f---ing move, I swear to God!" These officers have no respect for Black life, and must be held accountable. News just broke that the FBI and the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division will be leading an independent investigation into his murder—and we have to keep up the pressure until they deliver accountability.142,213 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Rashad Robinson
