FREE THE INNOCENT FROM WRONGFUL CONVICTIONSMillions of innocent Americans are wrongfully incarcerated. Our justice system is broken when innocent men and women have their freedom taken away. Harold Scism of Florida is one of the many Americans who is innocent and incarcerated. He is in the appeal process. There was no evidence, nor DNA evidence, yet an injustice occured as in the cases of millions of other American men and women.54 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dolores R. Peers

Reduce the Salaries and Pensions of the Millionaire-DO NOTHING CongressWe insist that all benefits be paid by the members and are no longer funded by the taxpayers. Congress must pay for their own health care, have a 401K that is self-funded and they must dissolve their prensions that are now being funded by the taxpayers. We also want them to work 46 weeks annually. If they do not work, THEY DO NOT GET PAID!! They must relinquish the ability to raise their salaries from now on and any salary increase must be approved by a national vote that will be added to the Presidential Ballot.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jess Sumpter

Distractive Driving LegislationIt's time for the Florida Legislature to enact state laws banning texting while driving, and the use of a hand-held cell phone while driving a motor vehicle. Florida is only one of eleven states that does not have a ban on texting. Not only is this a serious safety issue, but because Florida has not passed a ban on texting while driving, it is not entitled to any of the federal highway funds amounting to over 22.5 million dollars enacted into law by Congress last year, signed by the President, and which will be distributed this year.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barry D.

The Right To VoteUnfortunately, too many states deny individuals who have served their required time in prison upon their release, restored rights as citizens. After being released from incarceration, by denying the "Right to Vote", their punishment continues, thus preventing them from participating again as restored citizens within the community. Denying the Right to Vote, upon completing the required punishment determined for a crime against the community, is "cruel and unusual punishment". The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbids “cruel and unusual punishments”. If after, someone has “paid their debt” to society and they are released, but still being punished in some states, but not others, is their right of citizenship protected under federal law ? If they are continually “punished” for their previous crime how will they be accepted back into the community of man to participate fully as a citizen of their community and nation ? The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution’s Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause applies to the states. Since states view the “Right to Vote”, after incarceration, so differently for committing the same crime doesn’t this violate the U. S. Constitution ?
