I went to planned parenthood as a young adult for birth control and so have many of my friends! Family planning and education on healthy sex is important for everyone!!

The Petition was created on Move On's Petition site and states, "Pre-Determined Federal Prison Sentencing Guidelines are determined and based solely on the weight of the drug and not on an individual's case, background or morals. The guidelines are creating a "one size fits all" punishment. This means that in thousands of cases every year the punishment does not fit the crime nor the person. " My son, Terry Matthew Hall, was interrogated by Federal Agents, SBI Agents, and other Law Enforcement Agencies as a teenager in September of 2014 in reference to some alleged illegal drug activity that had been going on in Johnston County...Smithfield, NC for quite some time. Law enforcement and citizens in this County are well known as to what these people had been doing for generations.The Federal and State Agents assisted by local Law Enforcement officers ( Narcotic Division in that County) had been doing a two year investigation on some much older, lifetime criminals in this particular County. While being interrogated about any alleged activity my son was very cooperative.. He was scared and highly intimated so he thought if he "told them the truth" that he could come home. He had no lawyer present, and at such a young age wasn't even thinking on that level.This is a trend and happens to so many of young teens and what they don't realize is "they do need an attorney present!" His attorney told me if he had asked for an attorney to be present he would not be where he is sitting today. But, under peer pressure at such a young age they fold, only to incriminate themselves. He did not get to come home and was arrested right there where the interrogation took place.They arrested him on that day for "Conspiracy", simply because he knew what was allegedly going on. At the beginning of the Federal investigation he was only 16 years old and was introduced to a highly addictive drug by older, well known criminals. He now sits in a maximum security jail where he has been for over a year on 20 hours lock down per day due to his addiction and poor decision making. His lawyer states to me that due to Federal guidelines he is facing 30 years to life. Please print this petition on behalf of him and other youthful, nonviolent offenders who may also be affected by this. Federal Prison Bureau Nonviolent Offender Relief Act of 2015 H.R. 71. Our family is devastated by these guidelines.My son was lost in an addiction at 16 years old. He was introduced to this POWERFUL additive drug by a group of notorious criminals. He got involved with some really bad people, made some poor decisions, and violated the law.This case should be reviewed due to the age of this child, No Attorney was representing him and both him and his family have suffered beyond any sentence this child could ever receive. I pray God has mercy on the souls sentencing these children under this Federal requirement. We are losing young souls that can be rehabilitated.Matt was under major peer pressure. He would never physically harm an individual. Matt is a good life long friend of mine, it devastates me to think that I won't get to see his future unfold. Everyone makes bad choices in life, so, shouldn't we be willing to allow some slack for more adolescent offenders? After all, a one size fits all policy is not JUST. Matthew can be a great person, he has great people and family that love and care about him, He can get him a job, and get on the right path. He was working at 14 years old with a workers permit. But, how long will a youthful child stay sane enough to come out and make this change? If you put offenders in the environment and shove them away like nobody cares and they pretty much don't have a shot at "life" you're only making matters worse for a young offender. Help them. Care about them! I know Terry Matthew Hall can and will become a responsible citizen if given a chance. Of course he needs to be punished, but not for his entire life! Sincerely, Regina Morris

Donald Trump and the Republicans made their case to a TV audience of 24 million in August, while the Democrats are silent until mid-October. Democrats in Iowa are being asked to make their decision after only 4 debates. Restricting candidates from debating the issues is undemocratic, and it hurts the candidates and voters who must decide who to support without enough information. The DNC Chair must #AllowDebate!

Cutting back on funding on women's health care services is not right nor fair. We need to take in consideration the reality that when women come to these clinics for help and they are turned away, they have nowhere else to go.

I am a 68 years old and want to tell you I used Planned Parenthood when I was in my early twenties. They were a godsend. I am motivated to start this position because I know to well how Planned Parenthood helps women in need of medical assistance. Planned Parenthood helped me when I was very young and had nowhere to turn. They offered advice and medical services.

As a licensed cosmetology instructor, I've worked for 22 years to stay current in my field, spending thousands of dollars to do so. To take away our instructors' licenses without reason or warning is unfair and unjust.

Young women should not have to sidetrack their college careers due to an unplanned pregnancy! Children should not be born unwanted. Cuts to Planned Parenthood are attacks on women and children.

Planned Parenthood was there when I needed care as a young 20-something out on my own with no insurance. Republicans are threatening to shut down the government unless they can succeed in taking away crucial funding from Planned Parenthood. Don't let them tread on women's rights.

When a person reaches the age of 50 they are immediately passed over by Human Resource Departments because of this requirement on job applications. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of qualified workers who are ignored and discriminated against simply because of their age. This requirement should be abolished immediately.

I am a supporter of all Civil Rights to every American and am appalled by the refusal by a County Clerk to obey Federal Law which mandates marriage licenses be issued to all, including the LBGT Community. Please sign my petition to be directed to Governer Steve Bershear immediately.

Its time to show the Senator that we have his back, and that we stand united with the Senator in supporting peace. The deal will prevent a war with the nation of Iran, and will save numerous lives in the future.

We are petitioning the Colorado state government to require all Colorado school children, except for those with specific medical conditions, to be fully vaccinated. We also want all Colorado schools to inform parents of the current percentage vaccinated rate of all enrolled students. This would eliminate "Personal Belief Exemptions," which are used to opt out of vaccines for non-medical reasons. "As of January 30, 2015 102 people in 14 states were reported to have measles, and most of these cases are tied to the outbreak that began at Disneyland in December. Public health officials are citing an increase in non-medical exemptions to vaccination as a key factor in these outbreaks." If this trend continues, the immunity of the entire population is threatened. Life threatening diseases will spread further, and will also affect people who have been vaccinated; those with weakened immune systems, those who are very young, those who are elderly, and the like. We hold a responsibility to increase immunization rates to protect our communities. This petition looks to address falling vaccination rates by requiring all children attending school to be vaccinated in Colorado, unless they have a medical condition that precludes it.
