• Justice for O'Patrick F. Humphrey
    My brother was killed by Headland,Al police officers on Jan.31 2012 after his mom placed a call to 911 to take him to the hospital as he was unarmed Schizophrenic(which was made known to 911) and had been taken off his meds by his doctor.EMTs arrived and needed assistance to so they called for back up and 4 police officers arrived and none of them chose to make the decision to use less extreme measures to try and coerce him to seek treatment,yet 1 officer chose to fire is weapon twice one grazing his chest and the other fatally in the abdomen. This should have not happen...other measures could have been taken to subdo and get him to the hospital for the help he needed. His mother called for HELP not Harm. Please sign our petition so that we can bring awareness to the public that our mentally ill is not exempt from extreme deadly force by police even when they are at their weakest which they should be.We would like to see these officers tried and prosecuted for their actions.One officer has gone so far to post on his facebook page pics of himself consuming alcohol and partying with status that state how he going be doing this(partying and drinking) for quite some time. These officers have no remorse for killing a mentally ill human being.IHelp us get this petition passed and these officer brought to justice.

  • Tell Your Senators: Stand Up for the American People, Not Big Oil Companies
    Did you know that over the past decade, the big five oil companies – BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and Shell – have earned more than $1 trillion in profits? At the same time, these oil companies also enjoy billions in special tax breaks. Meanwhile, Big Oil’s congressional allies continue to push ‘oil above all’ energy policies – from advancing the toxic Keystone XL tar sands pipeline to expanding dangerous drilling off our coasts. It’s time to fight back. The Senate may soon vote on legislation to end billions of dollars in annual giveaways that the Big Oil companies receive. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has introduced the ‘Repeal Big Oil Tax Subsidies Act’ (S. 2204), which would cut billions of dollars in unnecessary oil subsidies. Additionally, the senator’s bill would use those savings to invest in clean, renewable energy sources that would create new jobs, make America more energy independent and reduce harmful pollution. It makes absolutely no sense that ExxonMobil, which reported annual profits of $41 billion in 2011, continues to benefit from massive taxpayer-funded government handouts. But this upcoming Senate vote represents an opportunity to put every senator on the record. As President Obama said recently, “They can either stand up for oil companies, or they can stand up for the American people.”

    But for those making more than $1 million — there were 236,883 such households in 2009 — I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more — there were 8,274 in 2009 — I would suggest an additional increase in rate. My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It’s time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice

  • ELIMINATE RUSH LIMBAUGH FROM KBTM RADIO NOW!!
    Rush Limbaugh's verbal assault on Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke, calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute," was intended to do one thing: intimidate women who would dare to speak out for their reproductive freedom. But this time Limbaugh has gone too far, and it has sparked a nationwide backlash. At least 140 major advertisers have pulled their ads from the Limbaugh show, and some stations have canceled the show altogether. Now it's Jonesboro's turn to take action and boycott Rush Limbaugh from KBTM Radio..NOW!!!

  • If you want to use public resources to build an arena, the public demands a vote.
    Recently, 7 of the 9 Sacramento City Council members (including the Mayor) approved the framework of a plan that would commit over $250 million dollars to a Downtown arena. That money would come from the leveraging of public resources. Right now, several groups of citizens, out of concern for Sacramento's future, are working hard to mobilize the disenfranchised majority of people who would rather see basic city services protected before the subsidizing of another arena to appease corporate business interests. By signing this petition, you will remain informed about the legally binding petition drive that is being created right now, and have the opportunity to sign your name to that document to force a vote on the arena deal this November.
