Petition Update 1) Matthew was not sent to the Troubled Teen Residential Facility (TTRF) on legal record, but to another TTRF program in Bend, OR. 2) Matthew was not sent away for eight weeks on legal record, but for twelve. 3) Information regarding Matthew’s true location was withheld for over 8 weeks. The police report shows that Matthew’s location was withheld from the police too. 4) TTRF, OR, contacted me a few days later, a phone conversation with Matthew was established, and a handwritten letter from Matthew was received. My visitation was denied and then approved, but information regarding the location of the “field”, 1.5 hour from base camp, was withheld. 5) FBI SF agreed with my evidence and contacted TTRF. My travel partner was approved. 6) Next, TTRF denied my visitation. 7) FBI OR was contacted. FBI Oregon advised me to contact the police to check on Matthew in Bend Oregon which I did. I expressed concern of Matthew’s treatment, medications, psychological testing, isolation from family, extreme conditions, conflicting information in his letter, handwriting exercises when diagnosed with dysgraphia, all suggest Stockholm Syndrome tactics further evidenced by the withholding of basic information including the FTC, Dept. of Consumer Affairs, Article 0185 (Google it) and the House of Representatives Bill H.R. 3126: The Stop Child Abuse in Residential Program for Teens Act (Google it). I was concerned Matthew would be relocated out of the country. 8) Matthew was transferred to a boarding school in Central America where he resides. 9) The Marin County Family Court has since put a restraining order against me from contacting Matthew’s boarding school in Central America, and from contacting any government authorities even if child abuse is suspected. 10) Upon being contacted by the boarding school, an exchange of information was underway to facilitate communication, a new email and Skype account and visitation was proposed. 11) Subsequently, legal counsel threatened me with sanctions for being in violation of the restraining order to only receive information thus preventing me from obtaining information that would facilitate the allowed communication and visitation. 12) Is that entrapment? If you have had a similar experience with the Marin County Family Court endorsement of child abuse neglect or worse, please let me know. Mia Lilien, P.O. Box 884, Mill Valley, CA 94942.

America is affected by gun violence in every corner . . . that makes it personal to me and all who inhabit our land. Our voices must be heard and our representatives must listen.

Monday February 4, 2013, the city council will decide whether or not our city will spend over $200,000 on a special election, an election that special interests have already begun spending toward having. They are doing a petition drive for a special election and a phone survey to find out who the best candidate to challenge me would be. Richmond needs this money in their general funds for city services.

50 countries with over 40% of the worlds population label GMO foods including the European Union and China. There have been NO long-term studies conducted on the safety of GMO foods and humans. We have the right to know what's in our food.

On January 11, 2013, facing decades in prison on trumped up charges, my partner, Aaron Swartz, made the tragic choice to take his own life. He was only 26. Aaron's supposed crime? He was accused of checking out too many articles (4.8 million), too fast, from an online academic library called JTSOR, to which he had authorized access. He never used or distributed the articles and later returned them. For that, he faced 35 years behind bars and endured two years of relentless persecution. The outdated Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) made this tragedy possible by giving absurdly broad powers to corporations and prosecutors to criminalize an array of online activity. That includes breaching a website's terms of service--that long fine print you "agree to" but never read. All of us who knew and loved Aaron never want to see anyone suffer this kind of abuse of power again. So, we're urgently calling on Congress to reform the CFAA. Aaron was an innovator, entrepreneur, and social justice advocate who co-authored RSS 1.0 (the web's format for sharing and distributing content) at the age of 14, co-founded the social news website Reddit, and led the fight to stop SOPA and PIPA--the internet censorship bills. His fight to stop SOPA and PIPA started with a petition just like this one, so we know this can work. In fact, there's already been a strong, bipartisan reaction to Aaron's death and legislation is in the works to reform the CFAA right now. But it won't happen without a big public push. We can't get Aaron back, but can you help us honor his memory by signing this petition and sharing it with everyone you know? Thank you for listening. --Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman

Living in the city I rely on law enforcement to keep me safe from gun violence and anyone putting a new gun in society should at least offset some of the expense.
