The Senate passed a strong comprehensive immigration reform bill. Immigration reform will strengthen our economy, keep familes together, and offer a clear roadmap to citizenship for nearly 11 million tax-paying, aspiring Americans. As an American citizen who recognizes the contributions immigrants have made throughout history, I want legislators to stand up on the right side of history, and side with the majority of Americans that we need comprehensive immigration reform now."

On August 5th, Mr. Ronald Pierce issued a complaint report to the California Bureau of State Audits (BSA). Mr. Pierce�s confidential complaint is filed under the Whistleblower Protection Act. It alleges systemic corruption, ineptitude and cronyism centered in Tulare County�s local court and auxiliary services; along with concealment of the court mismanagement and retaliation by the courts and Administration of the Courts (AOC) on a state level for Mr. Pierce�s exposing of collusively unethical and unlawful misconduct. This matter should have been a simple granting of Mr. Pierce's petition for divorce. Instead, it became a profit generator for the courts and auxillary agencies based on provable misstatement of facts and retaliation to conceal it. It has been ongoing for over five years and has taken many twists and turns which have devastated Mr. Pierce and his children. In his BSA Whistleblower Complaint, Mr. Pierce alleges and provides evidence that each court has added to the damage while refusing to acknowledge the direct evidence of prior misdeeds by prior courts, the AOC and auxiliary agencies. Many people state they have been harmed by ethics problems in the CA judicial branch that appear to be originating from the top. The ethics breaches appear to be concealed by efforts of the AOC in countless court cases. Using the courts to retaliate against whistleblowers for exposing misdeeds appears to be an alarming pattern in all types of cases. Auditing the Pierce case in the Tulare County courts, which appears to encompass many of the elements of unlawful mismanagement and often reported retaliation on a state level, could help to illustrate where the root of the problem lays throughout the state. The case could serve as a blueprint to aid to correct systemic judicial branch problems for the good of the people of California.

My name is Valerie Gray. I am starting this petition because I have personally seen the horrors of dogs who spend their entire lives on a chain, most to be completely forgotten, with no adequate food, water, shelter, or the soft touch of a human hand. Many have been on a chain so long that their collar has embedded into their necks. Sadly enough, if any of these dogs are lucky enough to be noticed, for many it will be too late, as many are too starved or too sick or because lack of human contact are too scared to let someone love them and can not be adopted out. It is a sad, cruel way to live and must be stopped.

The senate passed a strong comprehensive immigration reform bill.

The Senate has already passed a strong immigration reform bill. This bill will keep families intact and create a clear roadmap to citizenship. Lets bypass Speaker Boehner and ask Respresentative Foster to bring the Senate's bill to the floor and start a discharge petition. As a tax paying citizen I believe it is the right thing to do as they are hard workinng families and dreamers waiting for us to act.

My clients are affected every day. I am an immigration attorney in San Antonio, Texas and I see the devastation of families every day because of this broken immigration system. Although the Senate Bill is not perfect, it will help solve some of the problems we are currently facing in immigration.

I have not been affected, however, allowing 11 million illegals to roam the roads without drivers licenses, auto insurance or working and being paid under the table without being taxed is just plain stupid.

We need to address this issue now!

I started this petition to remove the Boehner roadblock to immigration by asking congressman Tim Ryan to sign a discharge petition to force an up and down vote on real immigrstion reform.

This affects millions of families.
