  • Irving Police Department
    With the arrest of Patrica we will be one step closer to finding and arresting Yaser Said, and with both parents behind bars Justice will finally be served for Amina and Sarah. New Years Day January 1 2008 in Irving Texas Amina and Sarah Said were murdered by their father Yaser Abdul Said an Egyptian immigrant for dating non muslin boys, Amina age 18 shot two times and Sarah age 17 nine times. The girls were brilliant young ladies dreaming of nothing more than to live their lives’ as Americans and become doctors. Their American mother Patricia Said Owens converted to Islam shortly after marrying their father in 1987 and has failed to protect these beautiful girls from the abuse they endured all their lives. The week before Christmas Yaser Said found out about his daughters American boyfriends and like many times before pulled a gun on Amina and Sarah and threatened to kill them for not following his rules. The girls managed to run out of the home to their mothers job where the girls also had part time jobs. The manager gave Patricia days off from work to take the girls to a safe place and call police, even taking up a donation among the store employee’s to help Patricia get her daughters protection, but instead Patricia took Amina and Sarah back home where their father was waiting. Their father was more furious with his daughters as the days followed. The girls knew they had to run away or be killed. Deciding to run away with their boyfriends they confined in their mother their plans to escape their father. Patricia tells her daughters she had always wanted to leave their father and asked to run with them. The girls and the boyfriends agreed to allowPatricia to go along. On Dec. 25 2007 After Yaser had left to go to work that night they all headed for Kansas. Arriving at Patricia’s aunt’s home on Wednesday the 26th. of December, Patricia tells her aunt the girls were going to run away with their boyfriends and she couldn’t let that happen, then Amina spoke up and said; "my mom said she always wanted to leave my dad so we let her come with us." During a conversation Patricia stated if she took her daughters back to Texas Yaser would defiantly kill them. By the end of the day it was decided it would be best to go to Tulsa Oklahoma a bigger city close to a collage for Amina. The next day Patricia bought a new cell phone and now had a number Yaser didn’t have, they rented an apartment and bought some furniture and the girls felt a little safer. Unfortunately unknown to Amina and Sarah and the boyfriends, their mother was talking to their father and planning on returning back to her husband. Patricia knew there was no way her daughters would return to Texas to be killed by their father so she lied to Amina and Sarah telling them she wanted to put flowers on their grandmother grave and they would spent New Year’s Day at their Aunt Connie’s, the mother’s sister. Arriving back in Texas New Years eve the girls learned their mother was going back home to Yaser their father. Amina very upset and angry and refused to go to her father’s house knowing he will kill her and went to her boyfriend’s parents and calls her Aunt Connie, "did you know my mom went back to my dad" she asked, crying and upset she tells her aunt about her mother lying to her to get her back to Texas. The next morning New Year’s started with a text asking Amina to call her mom. Amina called and her mother, who asked her to come home, again Amina refused. Patricia made call after call to Amina begging her to come home throughout the day saying her father had forgiven her and they were all going to go out to eat but Amina again refused. That evening Patricia drives to Amina boyfriends parents to talk to her daughter. Amina crying and still refusing to go with her mother begs her boyfriend to take her back to Tulsa. Patricia not getting anywhere with Amina takes her by the arm telling her to hurry up they were running out of time. Amina gives in and goes home with her mother and within a couple hours Amina and Sarah were shot to death by their father. The next day the girl’s brother Islam said Amina and Sarah got what they deserve because they knew the rules. The mother’s action in the days leading up to the murders proves the mother returned her daughters back to their father so the murders could take place as planned. Irving Police Department refuses to bring charges against Amina and Sarah's mother for her role in the murders. Clearly the proof is in the pudding and this is a double Honor Killing and the F.B.I. agreed at one point. The mother must be charged with conspiracy to murder her daughters. Sarah and Amina Said deserve JUSTICE. Please join in the fight for justice for Amina and Sarah Said by calling on the Irving Police to arrest Patricia Said Owens

  • End daylight savings time
    Daylight savings time harms people. It causes accidents, and does no good anymore. It is disruptive to peoples sleep, the work commute verses the school commute. Pick a time and stick to it.

  • Jobs: Helping the Worker and the Corporation
    The purpose of this petition is keeping jobs in the US, and making a level playing field for the skilled laborers that reside here legally and illegally. Currently in Texas, an open shop state, things are not so great for many skilled workers. Halliburton, which recently was headquartered in Houston, moved to Dubai and also cut the hiring of American skilled labor. Does this company deserve tax-breaks? There are many other corporations who have used the same strategy. Headquartering in the US, but doing their business in other countries. Perry Homes, major home-building outfit in Houston, subcontracts labor to build arguably substandard homes. The majority of the workers are here illegally, making substandard wages without benefits or having the advantage of Social Security, or Medicare, even though they may be paying for it. These folks, even though I sympathize with their plight, are depressing the job market. If they were somehow able to work legally, they wouldn't be taken advantage of so easily and their wages and benefits would go up. Tax revenue would increase, the size of homes would decrease because of the per foot cost. Bad thing? I don't know. But those who hire illegals illegally to the detriment of legal American workers don't deserve any tax breaks.

  • Stop the Bribery
    Our Constitution, Article two section four, makes it clear: "Bribery, Treason, and other high crimes" by all civil officers from the President on down, are against the law. Yet, Bribery is practiced every day in the halls of Congress with impunity by so called lobbyists giving our civil officers money to pass a law that will serve the lobbyists' employers

  • Speedy Pay to Doctors from Insurance Companies.
    Doctors and medical institutions should not have to wait long periods of time for pay from Insurance companies. Insurance companies engaged to supplement medicare have a captured audience of clients and they often delay payment for services for close to a year causing credit issues, etc. I am sure that the insurance companies don't sit on these large sums of money and don't invest it to get huge financial returns.
