• Say NO to allowing a gun shop and firing range to be located near Niles schools
    Niles is considering allowing a gun shop and 22-lane firing range to open within walking distance of Niles West High School, New Hope Academy, Lil' Kickers and Jump!Zone. Guns have no place being this close to where Niles children learn and play. Ask our Mayor and Trustees to say NO by signing this petition and showing up at the zoning board hearing on July 7 at 7 p.m. (Village Hall, 1000 Civic Center Drive).

  • Give felons a second chance!
    I am personally affected by this law. I have a possession with intent charge from 1991 and a obstructing justice charge from 2006. I went to addiction treatment and returned to school to earn a bachelor of arts degree in psychology and I am currently in my second year of working on my Master of Science in Counseling. I have worked hard, as others have, to change my life. I am so frustrated because after all of my hard work, I am still unable to gain employment because of my record. I have paid my dues and proven that I am rehabilitated!

  • Petition to Stop the Sale of the Facilities Services Greenhouse
    Due to budget cuts and a deficit estimated at 12-14 Million USD, UAF has decided to discontinue its use of the Facilities Services Greenhouse in favor of selling it at auction and using its former footprint as a staging area for the upcoming powerplant renovation. Instead, due to its considerably greater value outside of the standard economic model, we propose to relocate it within the campus to increase student access to locally-grown produce and educational opportunities.

  • Autism Education of the Judges and Deputy District Attorney in the Courts of Waukesha County, WI
    Hello, My name is Al Campos, Sr. I have an Asperger's grandson who has been determined to be "INCOMPETENT AND UNABLE TO AIDE WITH HIS OWN DEFENCE" is in trouble, charged with First Degree Sexual Assault without Bodily Harm. His entire coerced confession should be thrown out as a result. This was for an incident of feliatio (a BJ) that took place when he was 12. His half sister made a victim of him back then. Five years later her Mom and Dad were getting a divorce. Dad moved to Indiana with an old flame from his HS days. This angered her to no end, the only way to get back at Dad was to tell a story to the school social worker for her acting out. That story was to turn the tables on her half brother and say he abused her sexually. Allen III was 17 by that time and was pulled from his HS "Special Education" class, then questioned as an adult. They spent some time with him. then took him to Brookfield PD where they questioned him further. That is when they charged him as an adult. I hired Matt Huppertz to represent my grandson, but it did little toward his defense. Mr Huppertz never did present a single fact of my grandson's Asperger's Syndrome. He told him to plead guilty and take what he gets. I found this out and fired Mr Huppertz and discovered he was former Waukesha County ADA. That brought about a court appearance before Judge Kathleen Foster. She asked "Do you agree with the termination of Mr Huppertz, and do you have another attorney to replace him?". Allen III answered yes. Then she repeated, "You have an attorney to replace Mr Huppertz?" He answered No. She then raised her voice and said, "Then why are you lying to me?" She revoked his bond and had him placed in jail. Allen III does not understand a compound question. His father and I just sat in the pew in disbelief. She had the bailiff tell us to leave the courtroom. We never said a word to anyone. We were in shock. This lead to a second attorney, Dennis Krueger whom we hired but did not see or hear from him in four months until the night before Allen III's court date. He did not ask to change the plea and made the same suggestion as Huppertz: Plead guilty and take the consequences. This was not what we were looking for since Dennis had a son with Asperger's; I expected more. Turned out he was also representing Tim Russell from Gov. Scott Walker's County Executive Office too. He was fired by the Judge because Krueger was also working as an ADA in Fond du Lac County at the same time he was supposed to represent my Grandson. We terminated Krueger too, but that was too late; the damage was done. I also found out Krueger was an ADA in Waukesha County as prosecutor of Sexual Crimes, and a golf partner of Judge Foster. Well, Judge Foster put my Grandson on Probation with some restrictions that guaranteed his return to jail in no time: Eight pages of requirements, including a full time job or enrollment in a college in an accredited course full time. That alone would have put him back in jail. I applied for Social Security disability for him. The state had him evaluated and it was determined he is disabled; Allen III has an IQ under 70! I had put over $50K (all my savings) into his defense so far and I had to move to northern Wisconsin to give him a place to live. He could not stay with his Mom in Waukesha because of other kids in the house. My home in Bay View was too close to schools. That only left my hunting shack in the north woods. I had to then support two households. This did not work for long and I lost my home in Bay View too. Things were going OK up here in the north until the physician in his sex offender class wanted him to write a letter of apology to his half sister. He could not do it, so I helped him pen a letter and he turned it in. The instructor said it was not good enough. That is when my grandson went off the deep end. He took off for several weeks, got into trouble and ended up in jail. When he got out they put him in a halfway house. He was in there with one other kid. He could not take care of himself, cook, clean, do laundry, etc., etc. He got into more trouble and they put him in for revocation. He is now revoked and will be on his way back to Waukesha County. I know Foster is going to throw the book at him. She made this comment during a court session: "I knew how I was going to rule in your case the first time I saw you". With that attitude, I don't see that he has a chance. The real issue is that none of his Asperger's Syndrome was ever addressed from day one to the time of his revocation. Allen III's attorney, Mr Kelz, was educated by the Wisconsin Disability Rights Attorney Jodi Hanna in Rice Lake, WI. The Probation Department in Medford, WI had to admit they never got Allen III any professional attention for his Cognitive Disability and Medical problems. They never did any research, nor did they have any knowledge of the affliction. I found out nothing is in his file about his Asperger's after three and a half years of fighting for his rights. This all started at 12 years old when Allen III's IQ was about 40. He was the victim and not the perpetrator as indicated by his half sister. I know the sister very well and know she is a liar. His half sister Samantha and half sister Hevana played a game of a sexual nature. They used a code word of "ROSES" when they would get into their games. These games suddenly included Allen III. They contrived to victimize him "because they could", knowing he was slow, to say the least. None of his siblings would acknowledge him. Not in school, on the bus, in the lunch room, etc. In fact, they called Allen III "IT". They would tell people he was not related. They even stoned him and broke his glasses while they were on his face. This was OK by his step-mom because he did not fit her idea of a family member. Allen III has been a target for years and been beaten many times. Last time, while still in school, he was found by his VP in the boys room out cold in ...

  • Reverse Citizen's United and get money out of politics!
    It is time to restore our representative democracy. Today 87% of Americans are deeply troubled by the corrupting influence of money in politics. Our elected officials no longer represent the people who vote for them, they represent their donors. We need to get money out of politics, and the biggest step is overturning the 'Citizens United' supreme court case and banning corporations from contributing to elections. To do that, we need our state legislature to call for a constitutional convention. Vermont has already called for a convention, and California isn't far behind. Connecticut should join them. Tell your elected officials you want a constitutional convention to get money out of our politics.

  • No Incinerator in Hilo!
    Hawaii County's ineffective recycling programs are no excuse to burn valuable resources. Although the developer will pay the costs upfront, taxpayers will foot the bill over the long term; this money is better spent investing in a sustainable future that provides access to reclaimable materials as a means to create jobs. Although he is Native Hawaiian, the mayor approves siting this plant adjacent to a low-income Hawaiian community clustered around a beautiful oceanfront but surrounded by an airport , sewage treatment plant, unlined landfill and major port with heavy traffic as well as oil and gas storage facilities.

  • Boehner: Do not Use my tax dollars to sue the president.
    As a tax paying citizen, I object to you using my tax dollars to fund your lawsuit against President Obama. I disagree with the lawsuit as it does not appear to have a sound basis. As an American, natural-born citizen, I do not want my money used to fund it.
