Release RALPH "PLOOKIE" DUKEFREE RALPH PLOOKIE DUKE This is a plea for attention, support, and consideration for the release of RALPH "PLOOKIE" DUKE. During the cocaine/disco/bad girl era of the 80's, PLOOKIE was convicted of cocaine sales and related charges. When he was sentenced, it was somehow decided that he was going to be an example set by whomever-the city, the law, the legal system- and blatantly sentenced to LIFE PLUS FORTY YEARS! It was flaunted and even advertised on billboards that his sentence was intentionally set to be ridiculous and not in accordance with any sentencing guidelines for his charges: TO SET AN EXAMPLE. With public humiliation and advertised gloating added to the ridiculous sentence, hangings, public lynchings, and burning of witches resounds a bit too eerily. Setting all that aside, EXAMPLE SET, DONE, DEAD. It is no longer current nor effective. The real and current concern and NEED FOR CORRECTION-other than the rest of PLOOKIE's life-is a fair, just, equal legal system with standardized sentencing that is, in itself, within the law, and protects all of our legal, civil, human, and constitutional rights without bias and prejudice. Please pause briefly, as a responsible citizen, to consider and attend to this travesty of justice. It won't take much time nor any detailed scrutiny since it's ludicrousness was pronounced at sentencing and touted as advertised afterwards. PLOOKIE has already served 25 and counting years! Our legal system is NOT OUTSIDE THE LAW OR CITIZEN RIGHTS!407 of 500 SignaturesCreated by BambiLynn Graf

The Top Priority in a DemocracyThis amendment is the only way to reverse the WORST Supreme Court decision in history. (Is that an extreme statement? I don't think so.) Many have worked for years to make up for the damage - passing an amendment is extremely difficult, and rightly so. This is a critical step towards saving our democracy from the undue influence of money and corporate power. The electoral process is NOT meant for people who are intent on using their wealth to buy members of Congress. You must choose to support this measure if you also think it is important, Senator. Will you choose to stand with the people of New Hampshire, or with the One Percent?103 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jesse de la Rosa

Senator Murkowski - Vote YES on Citizens United RepealBecause we all deserve better. Our democracy should not be for sale and elections should not simply go to the highest bidder. Overturning Citizens United is one step, but a big step, toward stemming the influence of money in politics.101 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Steve Cleary
