Jackson was waived into adult court at the age of 16- party to the crime of felony murder and armed robbery and was given 100 years; a bunch of kids in a robbery that went horribly wrong. Hayes was in the next room when the fatal shot was fired. Many heartless sentences like this were given to youngsters at the time and it is now 25 years later. We have learned of the undeveloped juvenile brain. Hayes Jackson explains how he was a follower and easily led into the wrong situations. That is the way most kids are. He is not so today- this is a mature man ready to give back to society and well deserving of a second chance. Please help.

This is an absurd problem. We are holding this man when he has family in Mexico and is ordered deported. FFUP has about twenty names of inmates in the same predicament but there are more so held. Jose is sorely needed at home, we need the bed space and money and morally, we need to stop wasting this man’s life. The policy of holding deportable inmates after they are eligible for release and rehabilitated is not defensible. Please release Jose Fuentes.

Jose Garcia , a citizen of Colombia, has served 20 years, has been eligible for parole since 2013 and can legally be deported at any time. why don’t we take advantage of this when our prisons are so dangerously overcrowded. The irony is we are releasing many truth in sentencing prisoners , those sentenced after 2000, without any treatment even though many are begging for it. There is no doubt drug addicted youths are a danger to society and we are afraid your policies are one of the reasons for the uptick in violence on the streets of Milwaukee. The elderly, old law prisoners like Jose Garcia can prove themselves rehabilitated and are statistically very unlikely to commit crimes. in this petition we ask that the parole board think about adopting a new priority. We do not want to waste money and resources holding people who are not dangerous. Treatment and programming is so important and should be the DOC's main purpose- yet there is a woeful shortage of both. Release rehabilitated old law prisoners like Jose and put the saved funds into healing. Let him go home to Colombia and be with his family again.

It's UNFAIR BUSINESS. Twelve years ago, without fanfare, Congress passed a bad law that gives the gun industry and their products IMMUNITY from lawsuits. No other industry has this!!! In light of the DAILY shootings of children in our country, it is time to stop coddling this industry and make it at LEAST as accountable for its products as other manufacturers and sellers!!

Enough is enough. We will not start to see reductions in levels of gun violence until Congress begins to truly lead on this subject and stands up to the overly influential "gun lobby". No more.

Loophole test.

Below is a link for a petition asking the town to hire a crossing guard for the intersection of Blueberry Hill Road/Lawrence Drive/Tanglewood Drive. We all know how dangerous this intersection is. The safety of our children is top priority. Please - lets not wait for an accident to happen for this critical change to take place.

On October 3, 2015, a United States airstrike destroyed a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan operated by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning charity Doctors Without Borders (also called Médecins Sans Frontières, or MSF), killing at least 22 civilians--10 patients and 12 staff members--and wounding dozens more.[1] Doctors Without Borders says the attack continued for 30 minutes after its staff gave U.S. and Afghan military officials the exact location of its hospital.[2] How could this happen? An early statement released by the U.S. military attempted to characterize the hospital bombing as a mistake, almost dismissing it as collateral damage.[3] Military officials subsequently altered their accounts of what exactly occurred four times in as many days, only recently acknowledging that U.S. Special Operations Forces "most likely did not meet any of the criteria [for authorizing airstrikes]."[4][5] The magnitude of the tragedy and the astounding inconsistencies between U.S. and Afghan accounts of the bombing have prompted MSF officials to demand that President Obama call for an inquiry from the independent and impartial International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission.[6] Doctors Without Borders' U.S. executive director, Jason Cone, underscored the reasoning behind this call to action. "All this confusion," he noted, "just underlines once again the crucial need for an independent investigation into how a major hospital, full of patients and MSF staff, could be repeatedly bombed.”[7] Médecins Sans Frontières' international president Joanne Liu added, "If we let this go, as if it was a non-event, we are basically giving a blank cheque to any countries who are at war."[8] President Obama has apologized for the bombing and said the Pentagon will conduct its own investigation.[9] But a Pentagon investigation is no substitute for one conducted by the IHFFC.

I am saddened by the loss of innocent lives. We are a civilized country and yet we have more homicides with firearms than most of all countries. Domestic violence using a firearm causes irreversible damage whereas domestic violence without a firearm can be approached with effective counselling .Mass shootings are almost unheard of in other countries! Let's stand up and say we have had enough deaths already.

I have been a resident bordering Wharton State Forest for 34 years. Ever since Rob Auermuller tried to push the original MAP through without transparency, I have lost all trust in his judgments; I feel as if I cannot trust his involvement in the stakeholder meetings. The current "circle the roads you feel should be opened" process should be reversed to where Rob explains to us on a blank piece of paper what areas should be closed to motor vehicle access due to environmental data pertaining the certain area. We are the OWNERS of the forest and our permission should be asked for.

I am an American. This country has the highest incidence of gun violence of any not engaged in active war. I feel it is my patriotic duty to support focus on an issue which causes the deaths of more Americans, including children, than all American war deaths combined.

In Garden Grove today, we the citizens are being heavily taxed and penalized by red-light cameras. Many times they are invalid and all the time they are too costly. To challenge these tickets, one must take off from work because ticket court is only open during business hours Monday thru Friday. Garden Grove is one of only two cities left with contracts with Redflex for operating red light camera tickets.
