This petition is in response to Florida’s Racist Justice System! Until ALL of our demands are met, it is our full intention to prevent as much tourism dollars as possible from ever reaching the State of Florida. This will be a protracted struggle and we the undersigned are fully committed for life.

Corey's politically motivated prosecution of George Zimmerman and failure to take the case to a Grand Jury before proceeding, has cost tax payers of Florida a great deal of money and the extreme likelihood of more to come. She should be fired immediately and prosecuted for damages

Fracking contaminates water all over the USA. We do not need this in Florida ever. La facturación hidráulica contamina el agua por todo el EE.UU. Nunca necesitamos esto en Florida.

My name is Darrell Williams and my 11 year old nephew, Jeffrey L Williams was killed by Carbon Monoxide leak in a Best Western Plus, Boone, NC hotel on June 8th. In the same room where he was killed, two other adults lost their life to Carbon Monoxide two months prior, and still no CO detector. A Carbon Monoxide detector would have saved his life, and it would have cost the hotel about $40 to install. Please sign and forward this to everyone in your contact list

I am petitionin the Department of Justice to open a civil rights case against George Zimmerman

Medical malpractice can happen to anyone everywhere. Those in the operating room are the first to know when an error has occurred, often times it is not until the patient has suffered even greater medical conditions or death that the family finds out. The law says that as long as the doctors or hospital do something to correct or console the family they are no longer held liable, and even more so if the person has prior medical conditions not related to the current one and if the patient is a little up in age the medical professions use that against them and lawyers are reluctant to take on the case because of the expenses associated with the malpractice. It is still not fair to that individual nor the family to go through dealing with the loss of a loved one. Even more, at what point should the family be told that the injury to the patient could be fatal; do we or the patient not have a right to express their last will or instruction about going forward? Medical Malpractice is murder in another term of definition and there should be something in the law forbidding the medial profession from being exempt from their wrong doings, no individual or family should have to incur expenses to prove their wrong doings, and undergo the threat of going into poverty trying to maintain and hold on to what the patient left behind.

Between 1997 and 2010, California prisons spent nearly $150k on tubal ligation procedures on women prisoners who may have been inappropriately coerced into having the procedure. When asked about this expense, Dr. James Heinrich, a state prison doctor, said: “Over a 10-year period, that isn’t a huge amount of money, compared to what you save in welfare paying for these unwanted children—as they procreated more.” Dr. Heinrich, employed to provide gynecological services in California prisons, was accused of pressuring inmates into being sterilized. He said this in 2013. This year. In California, we like to believe that there is strong support for the idea that reproductive decisions are our own and that they are private. Unfortunately, our policies often contradict this vision and this is especially true for the minority of California’s women who live with incomes below the poverty level. We must do more to fix that, to make sure that California’s laws and practices keep pace with our beliefs and values. This is why we are asking the state legislature and Governor Brown to reverse a 20-year-old policy that approves basic needs assistance for infants born to a poor family only if their parents were sterilized or their mother was using an Inter Uterine Device when the child was conceived or the mother discloses private documents that prove that her child was conceived as a result of rape and that the rape was reported to officials within 12 months. This rule, called the CalWORKs MFG rule was implemented with the goal of controlling the reproductive choices of poor parents. The rule applies regardless of the parent’s personal, religious or relational objections to the use of contraception or whether the types of contraception required by the statute (sterilization or IUD) are available and affordable to the parent or recommended by their health practitioner. This policy is a disrespectful and dangerous governmental intrusion into the privacy of women and men based wholly on the belief that the ends justify the means. In this case, the end goal is to prevent poor families from having children. However, decades of research has not substantiated that these types of policies have any impact on birthrates among low-income women. Instead, the rule has resulted in deep poverty and increased suffering among our state’s poorest infants, children and families. Join us in calling for a repeal of this policy. Sign Now. ---- Assembly Bill 271, authored by Holly J. Mitchell, will repeal the state's aweful MFG Policy. AB 271 is co-authored by Senator Hancock and Assembly Members Ammiano, Blumenfield, Buchanan, Dickenson, Garcia, Lowenthal, Pan, E.M.Perez, Skinner and has over 60 child health, reproductive justice and anti-poverty organizations in support.

Thursday, July 11th, the US House of Representatives held a closed vote for a Farm Bill (H.R. 2642) that, for the first time in half a decade, excluded the Nutrition Title which includes funding for food banks, senior feeding programs and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill passed, with only Republican members voting for it. The Farm Bill could have and should have been an opportunity for us to strengthen our response to hunger in our country. Instead, the House passed a Farm Bill without a Nutrition Title, without a single hearing on hunger in fact, bypassing our ability to address the shameful reality that one in six, and one in five children, are going hungry right here in America.

This petition is in response to the Trayvon Martin's verdict. I do crime-watch for Marion County Sheriff's Office (mcso), and we are forbidden to take weapons on patrol

The Trayvon Martin case blatantly highlights the current loopholes that are present with current "Self-Defense" and "Stand Your Ground Laws". Whether using "Self-Defense" or "Stand Your Ground" a person should not be able to pursue someone and claim "Self-Defense". A situation should be looked at entirely when a person is claiming "Self-Defense" or "Stand Your Ground". Language must be included in our laws that guards against a person being able to pursue another person but then claim "Self-Defense" or "Stand Your Ground".

The Humane Society estimates a healthy pet loses its life about every 11 seconds. The after-hours holds by rescues that HCAS just cancelled allowed more pets' lives to be saved.

Marissa Alexander a mother of three was sentence to 20 years in jail by the state of Florida for firing a warning shot in her kitchen ceiling to keep her abusive husband from beating her. Despite the fact that Marissa has never been in any kind of trouble she sits in a Florida jail. Marissa cited the Stand Your Ground law as her defense but was still convicted, when she harmed No one. George Zimmerman walked free after killing and unarmed child Trayvon Martin and was found not guilty by a jury using the same Florida Stand Your Ground Law. I asked you is this fair, does justice allow Stand Your Ground to some and not to others? Please sign your name to this petition to be sent to Florida legislature to urge them to reopen this case and exonerate Marisa of this sentenced.
