My son Matthew Carr was at an underage party. The legal age for drinking in Missouri is twenty one. He was seventeen. The police left them at the party. No one tried to take his keys. The police did not take him to jail or call parents. Two and a half hours later he was dead, as he hit a tree driving home.

The average working American wants to make a decent living, provide for their family and retire with security and dignity. We work for mere handouts while congress allocates themselves excessive pay, free healthcare and a posh retirement plan that the average American can't buy for themselves. If you believe Congress should have NO better than that the best available for the majority of their constituents from their respective districts sign the petition to demand change. If Congress had to wait months to get in to see a doctor, wait hours in a lobby, spend hours on the phone with insurance companies, work for what we get paid, pay the taxes we pay, worry about how their children will pay for college and worry about their future as we do, then change would swift for the people. If you want change then sign the petition, share the petition and be the change. Let your voices be heard.

9 years ago I was caught up in a crime that cost Javon Johnson his life and me my freedom. On the night the crime happened the victim and I had got into an argument in front of my apartment that got out of control. In the midst of me and the victim arguing I pulled out my weapon (kept it on safety). I simply asked the victim to go ahead and leave from in front my place. The victim and I exchanged words as he put his hands up and told me all right. A few of his friends as well as mine stepped in to calm the situation down. Once I realized it wasn't that serious, I then lowered my weapon placing it in my pocket while the victim and his friends walked away. In the midst of them walking away, one of his friends stated that it wasn't over. One of the guys I was with asked me to let him see my weapon. I told him "No it's not worth it" as I pulled my weapon out and aimed it STRAIGHT into the air, emptying all the bullets out. The reason why I fired into the air was simply just to scare the group. Once I discharged my weapon into the air, one of the victim's friends discharged his weapon in my direction, making the situation get out of control. Once the shots were fired, the victim and his friends started running. While he was running, one of the guys I was with came running out from behind the building and fired the fatal shot that took the victim's life. once the guy I was with fired the shot he came running to me and the guys I was with and said "I handled that for you." my only question to him was Why? I admit I made the wrong decision by pulling out my weapon, but my intention was NEVER to take anyone's life. My apologies go out to the Johnson family and friends. If I had the chance to rewind that night I would have just talked it out and then walked away. It truly wasn't worth it. All through my transcripts they tell you that I didn't fire the shot that took the victim's life. The detectives, the victim's family, his friends and others know the person that really committed the crime, but NO ONE wants to be brave and tell the truth. We all live by this code of the streets "Don't Snitch" but my question is why let an innocent man sit in prison for a crime some one else committed? the reason I am writing this petition is because I am currently fighting for my freedom so I can make it home to my wife, kids and family. for those that believe in my innocence and those that know the truth please sign this petition so I can regain my freedom. Facts in my case that prove I'm INNOCENT During my trial: 3 of the victims friends who were eye witnesses were asked what did I do with my weapon? All 3 of them stated I pulled my weapon out then put it back in my pocket without discharging it. they were also asked did they see me fire the fatal shot that entered the victim? All 3 stated No! Also none of there stories were the same. They all had different stories. During my trial: the commonwealth misled the jury and admitted it, but due to my lawyer not striking at the correct time the couldn't throw the charge out. also my lawyer admitted to my family that he did NOT represent me correctly. During my trial: none of the evidence they had pointed to me. The detectives collected numerous shell casings and bullet fragments from the crime scene and panels on the wall and NONE of them had my finger prints on them. The crime scene detective admitted that there was more than 1 weapon fired and used, but never presented a weapon at trial. The weapons they said were fired that night was 2 (.380, .40 caliber, berretta) The 2 (.380) had different lands and grooves, 1 to the right and 1 to the left. My family hired a Ballistic Expert that stated that a (.380) can only cause damage at 50ft. The victim was 255ft away from me when he was struck. A (.380) can only cause damage at 50ft. That proves I DIDN'T fire the fatal shot. When the victim got hit, he was kneeling down by some cars. There was at least 25 cars where he was at and none of them were struck by a bullet. That proves that the person that fired the fatal shot was at close range. During my trial I had at least 20 or more witnesses that stated that someone else fired the fatal shot and a few actually told the name of the person that fired the fatal shot. Even though the detectives and commonwealth knew the information about the person that committed the crime they still never indicted nor questioned him. He came to court but when it was time to come forward he had left the courtroom. For those that know my case and the truth, all I am asking for is your help. My aim is to get as many people as possible to sign this petition so I can make it home to my wife and kids. Again my apologies go out to the Johnson family for the role I played which was just arguing with their son and firing my weapon straight into the air. I truly pray that the Johnson family finds the right person that committed this crime. Please support my petition Thank You! Mr. Sykes

We your constituents who do not want to hear excuses anymore. Why have your committee members, Mayor and Justice Department not investigate, regulate, punish ... and remove these predators from our community? There is US District Court Documents (1:13CV 0452 (EGS) filed in which will give you no excuse not to be piggy back on these documents of racial discrimination, disparate treatment, retaliation, computer fraud and economic discrimination? Your honesty to redeem yourself of decades of continuous deplorable stewards overseeing injustice must END NOW! Your predecessors and you for years as Councilperson has under represented us in the most serious matters. Also view a Probable Cause Findings at the Office Human Rights 08-360-P (CN)

Our goal is to continue providing quality public yoga classes at the Silverlake Meadow with support of the city of Los Angeles by having the option to obtain a permit to instruct classes in the park. At the present time, the city's policy is NOT to offer permits for the meadow, which is confounding. We offer yoga classes at the meadow to promote health, wellness, fitness and happiness to our community at an affordable price. We believe we are offering a positive service that honors the uniqueness of the residents and neighborhood of Silverlake with little or no-impact to the park itself. We are also tired of being harassed and threatened on a continuous basis by the LAPD officers who have been called to our meadow classes by one irate and annoyed Silverlake resident. This resident has shouted and screamed directly to Stefani Manger, the founder of the Collective on two different accounts to make it clear we were not welcomed by her or the law. Please allow us to teach peaceful yoga classes lawfully in our beloved meadow. Thank you and namaste, Stefani Manger, the teachers and students of the Silverlake Meadow Yoga Collective

ALEC stands for a dirtier environment and a more closed internet - and they use crooked politicians and backroom deals to push this dangerous agenda. That's why Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Yelp and countless other organizations and individuals have recently left the group. We think Yahoo should do the same. Sign our petition and tell Marissa Mayer that it's time for Yahoo to stop supporting ALEC's dirty politics.

I'm disabled, and my health insurance is Medicare. I must carry my Medicare card (i.e. Social Security number) with me at all times, which greatly increases my chance of being a victim of identity theft. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services should adopt different id numbers.

As the Founder of the school and the one who wrote the charter application with Dr. Knowles, I know that the vision of the Eagle Arts Academy is unique and special and needs to move forward. Due to Dr. Nichols resignation due to health issues, we now only have two board members, and are required to have a minimum of three. To protect the vision and the school, I believe that I am the best candidate to be on the board and be Chairman, again. Thank you for your consideration and support. Gregory James Blount
