• REMOVE MARION NEWS PAGE FROM FACEBOOK
    Everyone is tired of seeing families and people suffer because they are having their names placed on this page with the wrong info. This page is very harassing, threatening, violent, racist and more. It has caused serious panic among families thinking their loved ones are hurt and even dead! It has posted wrong pictures of people and underage individuals. It needs to STOP today. We have a folder full of copied items from this page that we have been collecting over the last 6 months to go with this petition to the Facebook team. We have talked with them several times over the course of this time and they are aware of what we are doing and requested further info. So this petition puts us at our last step. Please sign

  • Restore writ of Habeas Corpus; Nix Martial Law
    There are two basic elements required in a conviction for a crime: ACTUS REUS = the guilty act, and MENS REA = the guilty mind. Absent one or the other, there can be no conviction. The US Department of Justice abuses its power, unnecessarily detaining accused persons INDEFINITELY in order to coerce an admission of guilt (to lighten the prosecution's burden of proof) in exchange for restoration of one's Constitutional rights, of which one has been deprived. Check out the Facebook page entitled, "Restore Habeas Corpus". In addition to the guilty plea, the accused is also required to waive monetary damages incurred as a result of the false imprisonment, accept the false imprisonment as "credit for time served", waive the right to an appeal, and a myriad of other conditions that may give the accused further recourse. The originator of this petition has been "released" from maximum security false imprisonment after 3 1/3 years, but is still under house arrest with a GPS sending unit strapped to his ankle in order to ensure an appearance at a trial that he contends will never occur (the January 2013 trial date was continued to March 2013, and then to November 2013, and now once again continued indefinitely, as he has refused to sign the guilty plea prepared for him by the prosecution, despite the urgings of the judge, and his court-appointed lawyer). Fortunately, his family was able to retain a private lawyer. A Motion to Suppress (MtS -- the evidence was contrived from a false arrest) was subsequently filed, which was used as leverage to "release" him last 19 September 2013 although this MtS has not been ruled upon by the Court. He is accused of ATTEMPTED fraud. The MtS points out that the prosecution has a serious problem that, were the United States not currently under Martial Law and the writ of Habeas Corpus available for detainees, ought to have made a detention review available to him, possibly to be freed outright. While imprisoned at CADC in Florence, Arizona, it was observed that the system is also abused to include an ethnic cleansing that targets Latinos (mostly Mexicans). Roughly 90% of those falsely imprisoned at this private prison (not under the purview of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, nor any government agency empowered by the government to imprison individuals) are of Mexican origin, people who are coerced into signing waivers for "voluntary departure", in addition to guilty pleas for the "crime" of "re-entry", drug trafficking, or human smuggling, all without the benefit of a trial -- needless to say, some are actually US citizens or legal permanent residents who are systematically stripped of their legal status, simply because they happen to have Mexican roots. There is a clear sentiment that there is an effort to control the voting population, and that the Democrat constituency, having been successfully utilized, is now being minimized. Our (US) Foreign Policy has intermittently spiked in favor of Imperialism, which necessitates a Fascist government (in our case with a bi-partisan Dictatorship). The hyped-up threat of terrorism has created the excuse for military backing. We (the United States of America) are currently under Martial Law. It may be too late to stop the onset, but a passive resistance is necessary to peacefully dismantle the regime. A Facebook page, "Restore Habeas Corpus" contains a collection of articles and videos to outline the "legal" structure underneath our current predicament. View this interesting link containing embed code: The originator of this petition has standing (Locus Standi) to sue the US government for allowing employees of the Department of Justice (the US Attorney, the US Marshal Service, the FBI, the DEA, etc.) to torture a US citizen (the prosecution has also attempted to cause petitioner to give up his US citizenship, so that he may be deported). A team of fearless lawyers who will take up the cause on a contingency basis is required, backed by a public outcry. Hence this petition. The Department of Justice (DOJ) does have a Civil Rights department, but attempts at bringing this matter up to them has met with filibustering. Asking the Chief of Police to prosecute the serial killer when the serial killer is the COP is a practice in futility. The DOJ also has an Office of the Inspector-General that handles such complaints. The originator of this petition has lodged a complaint with that office, but I have come up against a blank wall. The predicament we are in is very political, and one solution that has worked in the past is to simply start a drive to inform the public. The internet is an inexpensive and (so far) unadulterated source. Once I was "released", attempts were made to contact interested media and tell the story, but success has been elusive in that respect. The few hundred friends the originator of this petition had who live within the State of Arizona understandably are very cautious of his attempts at contact, for fear of having their lives also inconvenienced by Department of Justice personnel. It is anticipated therefore that the initial response will be coming from outside the USA, and will gain momentum once US citizens realize the truth.

  • Ask NC Department of Health and Human Services to launch an investigation into the public health ...
    Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO’s) are controversial for a number of reasons. Questions regarding the raising of such large numbers of animals in confined spaces, the overuse of antibiotics, and the impact on consumers of meat typically dominate the public dialogue in regards to these “factory farms.” What is often neglected is the health impact that CAFO’s have on communities, both locally and globally. These effects include typical industrial pollution, inescapable foul odors, and the contamination of soil and water. With North Carolina in particular being home to so many of these operations, there is an exigent need to better quantify the damage these industrial-scale monstrosities have on health and human safety.

  • Starbucks: Offer Almond Milk and Stevia
    I am starting this because Starbucks has tons of money laying on the sidelines and won't even cater to those with allergens that can't even use their sugars and cremes. Why not have Almond Milk and Stevia or PureVia? The smaller mom and pop coffee shops do, why not them? They are the real heroes. If they did this they would bring in more customers to their locations and increase revenue. How does that not make sense?

  • HELP TEXAS WOMEN: Restore the reproductive healthcare funding that was taken away from them
    We want to help Texas women and this includes your grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, nieces, co-workers, neighbors, friends, students, and most especially low-income women. The Texas Family Planning Program lost $73 million dollars during the 2011 legislative session. Thousands of Texas women have lost access to family planning services and low-cost healthcare. In 2012, the Women's Health Program lost it's federal funding due to Rick Perry's Affiliate Ban Rule. These setbacks have resulted in a 77 percent drop in the number of women being served by state health clinics and increased costs to taxpayers. Please consider signing our petition to restore equal funding to all family planning clinics, increase funding for the Women's Health Program and the Family Planning Program, and to integrate comprehensive sex education into school and clinic settings across Texas. Texas low-income women have lost access to family planning/birth control, well-woman exams, women's health education, breast/cervical cancer screenings, sexually transmitted disease testing and treatment, and access to pregnancy termination. We need your help. Please sign our petition.

  • Shut Down World Star Hip Hop
    World Star Hip Hop and similar websites accept submissions of actual fights and feature them on their web page. This open promotion of violence creates a venue for violent individuals to gloat about their attacks. Not only is this a venue for those who are already violent, it also provides a forum for individuals who may not otherwise have been violent to gain notoriety. The most recent example of this is a video that was uploaded on World Star Hip Hop that features a brutal attack by a young lady named Sharkeisha; now #Sharkeisha is trending worldwide. To shut down this website would mean starting a dialogue not only about violence, but the promotion of violence through social media. Help this movement for social media change by signing this petition addressed to congress to make "fight video" websites illegal.

  • MOTHERS JUSTICE MOVEMENT: Stop New Jersey Judges from forcing defenseless children to be harmed b...
    WE ARE PETITIONING FOR A STATEWIDE INVESTIGATION OF FAMILY COURT PRACTICES IN AN EFFORT TO STOP NEW JERSEY JUDGES FROM HARMING INNOCENT DEFENSELESS CHILDREN. New Jersey residents are being bled of our most valuable resource, the innocence of a child, and because of which, we are slowly losing our grip on the future of America. Since 1998, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has continued a lengthy investigation into adverse childhood experiences (ACE). ACE is one of the largest medical investigations ever conducted to assess associations between childhood maltreatment and later-life health and well-being. They found that a child’s exposure to certain traumas, including domestic violence, child sexual abuse, or being separated from their primary caregiving parent, resulted in more illnesses and injuries to children in childhood through adulthood, i.e., social emotional and cognitive impairment; adoption of health-risk behaviors; disease, disability and social problems; and PREMATURE DEATH. This study demonstrates how a child’s exposure to these elements are a PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE. Yet every year, an estimated 58,000 children are court ordered into custody or unsupervised visitation with a reported abuser. Additionally, current research estimates that false allegations of sexual abuse happens less that 2% of the time, yet 85% of those children are court ordered into shared or sole custody with the parent that is raping them. Inadequately trained professionals tend to believe the myth that mothers frequently make false allegations, contrary to current research. Therefore, in thinking they have the needed expertise, family court professionals don't listen to domestic violence or child abuse evidence, experts, and they don't include current scientific research. Mothers are being forced into bankruptcy and poverty trying to protect their children, and their children are being irreparably harmed. Governor Chris Christie, House and Senate Representatives, we now have the medical research through the CDC to declare domestic violence, child abuse, and being separated from a primary attachment parent a PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE. And the U.S. Department of Justice's Saunders report states that the STANDARD and REQUIRED domestic violence training received by judges, lawyers, and evaluators does not adequately prepare them to handle abuse cases. WE ARE PETITIONING FOR A STATEWIDE INVESTIGATION OF FAMILY COURT PRACTICES IN AN EFFORT TO STOP NEW JERSEY JUDGES FROM HARMING INNOCENT DEFENSELESS CHILDREN. We would like to see you, our leaders, echo your constituents concerns, and ensure that the HEALTH AND SAFETY OF A CHILD WILL COME FIRST IN DIVORCE AND CUSTODY LITIGATION. We thank you in advance for your support.

  • STOP THE VA FROM LYING
    When not under oath, there is no penalty for VA lying to Congress. This encourages VA to lie, and saves Congress the trouble of prosecuting them. This is the root cause of the culture of lies at the VA. Swear them all in, prosecute the ones who lie.
