petitions. My sons have been incarcerated for 20 years. They were juveniles when an Armed Robbery crime was committed. They were charged and convicted as Party to A Crime Armed Robbery. They were both sentenced to over 100 years plus. My sons were both high school graduates with jobs, but, made a wrong choice. They both realize that and over the past 20 years have grown into young men with values of life. The crime they were convicted of did not result in any one's death or serious injury. I, alone with my parents who are 82 years old and other family members have always been there for my sons. They come from a loving background, Christian family. My family and I have always been there for them and will continue to be very supportive because they have changed and learned a lot from the consequences they have suffered and paid to society. Lawrence and Shulburt Williams have completed all programs required of them that were offered, along with additional college courses. They both have a very good report with staff workers. My family have been owners of our Bowling Alley for thirty years, and my sons would have no problem with job opportunities. We stand behind them 101%. I am a retired Police Officer as well as a 23 year Veteran in the United States Air Force. My sons are not a threat to the community. They have paid the price to come home. It has been a long 20 years. As a caring mother, wife, daughter, sister and aunt I am requesting my sons be released from prison at this time. My parents health is not the best, and would like to reunite with their grandsons. Please sign my sons petition as it goes forward. Thank you very much. Barbara

How many more kids do you want to see on the ground?

This petition is rather self-explanatory. It's to offer a disincentive towards the purchase of such unnecessary weapons, while not punishing those who use guns only in respected, sportsman-like ways.

I believe the Second Amendment and the freedom to be safe can coexist, but significant changes need to be made to prevent tragedies. I support common sense background checks, closing the gun show loophole and limiting the sale of high-powered assault weapons.

As you know, the Syrian refugee crisis is unprecedented in recent history. The United States for long has been a destination of the oppressed and those fleeing persecution based on their religion, sect or nationality. As America welcomed oppressed peoples of years past, let America welcome the oppressed peoples of today. Will you welcome Syrian refugees to Ann Arbor?

With the person having served 30 years, the Board of Commissioners has not given him a fair chance because of his sentence of life without parole. The system has convicted him unfairly, and because of past criminal history, he was railroaded.

There are approximately 80,000 residents in the proposed area and would become inholders and subject to many new regulations and restrictions that were not in place when the people moved in and invested in this area. The proposed area is in violation of the 1906 Antiquities Act. The additional costs for city and county services, such as roads, sewer, water, and power will have to be paid with a shrinking tax base due to the number of properties that will be removed from the tax rolls. This means significantly higher taxes that will force many people out of their long-time residences. This snowball effect puts the present schools and social services in peril.

Malheur County is not thinking about the community with this ban. They are spreading lies and propaganda purposefully to line their pockets with drug convictions.
