Marissa Alexander is a woman from Jacksonville who was sentenced to 20 years in jail for shooting a bullet above her abusive husband's head. She was trying to scare him off, and she was denied protection under the "stand your ground" law! If Zimmerman is walking free, so should she!

Marissa Alexander was sentenced to 20 tears in Florida for firing a warning shot to keep from been assaulted by her husband. Prior to this incident she had never been arrested before. *********************** George Zimmerman shot and killed a UNARMED 17yr old boy and was not sentenced to 1 day in jail.

Bill 20-9, would allow civilian, single-role emergency medical service providers to participate in the Police Officers' and Fire Fighters' Retirement Program and establish a District of Columbia Advisory Paramedic Review Board. Currently , Single role Paramedics and EMT's handle about 85 percent of the entire departments work load. Since we weren't able to get the city to support a equal retirement. We would like for them to support us paying into a equal retirement system. Not a 401 A plan. This Bill also would allow a Paramedic review board. This is the equivalent to being judged by a jury of your peers verses a judge only. The current system takes primarily paramedics off the street for very minimal infractions for months at a time. The judge being the Medical director ( David Miramontes ) chooses who he wishes to site while others get a pass. This would also remove the division that he is causing in a already low moral Agency Please support us. We just want whats Fair. Thank you.

I remember what BP did to the gulf coast.

Hydraulic fracturing for the purpose of natural gas production is a completely unacceptable technology for use in the state of Michigan. Fracking in the United States and throughout the world has resulted in horrendous disaster for citizens of the world.

Fracking has proven to be among the dirtiest mining technologies. Fracking is proven to release extremely dangerous amounts of methane into the air in addition to more hazardous and poisonous chemicals into the water table. The BLM's recent failure to consider any environmental impact analysis on fracking in CA shows the Obama administration prioritizes fossil fuel exploration over the environment and public health. Therefore it is up to CA state governance to put peoples' health and preserving what is left of the health our the environment--that we depend upon for clean air and WATER--as a first priority. We insist upon a moratorium on fracking in CA until a STATE run human health and environmental impact analysis is done.

Fracking results in extensive contamination of water, a precious resource. It is important instead to develop immediately, alternative sources of energy such as wind, solar and hydroelectric energy as well as to deploy a better energy grid.

Stop discriminatory practices against minority employees at the VAMC and enforce regulatory procedures to insure that promotions and hiring practices are fair for all VAMC employees including veterans.

Fracking contaminates our water system permanently. It is detrimental to the health of humans, animals, plants, and our food supply. Our community's health and well-being should be our top priority. We do not want to lend our support to the FRACTURING of our only Home.

Please stop fracking. As residents of DC, we are tired of earthquakes and national monuments crumbling. Also, we would like to keep our drinking water safe and clean. The water we drink comes from other states, so fracking must stop nationally. We would like to see the country move towards 100% renewable energy sources and we'd like to see the end of the dirty exploitation of our natural resources. Remove the exemption from the Safe Drinking Water for the fracking industry and hold energy companies accountable. Thank you.

This petition is to get as many people as possible to sign that we will receive justice for the murder of 17 yr old TRAYVON MARTIN.

Being charged with one felony, and only one felony. It's over 13-years-old and you haven't committed another crime since you were convicted, but they're still holding it against you. It's stopping you from getting a good job. You went back to school and got degrees, certification and still get turned down for jobs because this one felony.
