Sentence reform billWE THE PEOPLE ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CALL ON CONGRESS TO ACT ON AN ISSUE: We the people ask the Federal Government to take or explain position on an issue or policy " troy Barron a casualty of w Created by S.H. on June 13, 2018 Sign This Petition Needs 99,999 signatures by July 13, 2018 to get a response from the White House 1 SIGNED 100,000 GOAL Troy is one of the thousand of prisioners sentenced under the federal three strikes and your out 21 U.S.C 851 life sentence enhancement. We the people , ask for the support in Senator Chuck Grassley's wise sentence reform bill that specifically addresses citizens like Troy who are the casualties of the war on drugs, more then 39 millon non voilent drug offenders arrested and over a trillion dollars in taxdollars are wasted. walking death sentences for selling $25 dollars worth of crack disportionate imposedon the poor people and not the intended drug kingpins exposes our entire system to mistrust by the citzens it was meant to protect. We support Troy clemecy petition .Mt Barron has maintained a postive christian attitude thoughout his incarcertion. to date Troy has never been accused of committing a violent crime before or after he began serving the unjust sentence Troy is imprisoned in a maximum security prison in Florence Colorado while James Holmes who murdered 12 people enjoying a movie will also spend the rest of his life with in the penal system of Colorado. This defies both justice and common sense when we take a hard look at the heinous crimes in which indedd a warrant of death or a life in prison selling $25 dollars worth of crack cocaine defines a life sentence cruel and unjust punishment. we demand equal justice for Troy by asking the President to address the specific facts of this prosecution. Please sign our petition calling for a computation of troy death in prison No citizen should cruelly serve a life sentence for a non- violent drug offense Troy who at worse we acknowledge engaged in a mere $25 economical crime can not be treated the same as a mass murderer..Troy recently turned 50 years old he has missed far too many to list like his son graduation from high school and taking him to enroll in college troy fiancee and firm support though out his incarceration has recently taken ill and needs his help to be her care taker as she recently suffered a brain anuersym and with Troy being home to support her in the same manner she has cared and comforted him would lower the cost and heavy burden of their family and friends and would bring much needed justice for both troy and his fiancee1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by shirley harris

Affordable Fruits and VegetablesFruits and vegetables are important parts of a healthy nutritional diet. Often it is easier to eat unhealthy due to cheaper prices of processed foods. Lowering the price of produce from stores will increase accessibility and improve physical and mental health.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Community Health Action Network

Get the FBI to investigate the Shreveport/Bossier judicial systemI've personally experienced the judicial corruption in Shreveport/Bossier for nearly a decade, having been illegally arrested by a bail bondsman and convicted on the charge, my children being adopted by my parents without due process and no legitimate reason, and having my phone searched by law enforcement with no open case or cause while under a witness subpoena, among many other infractions. This criminal behavior has to stop! The Louisiana, judicial system is essentially a corrupt network of law officials seeking power and monetary gain!19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by mallory josey

Stop Animal TestingAnimals should not be suffering to provide cosmetic products, most of which are not even necessary for humans. It is not morally or economically right to abuse millions of animals a year when there are other, cheaper, ways to test product safety. Protecting animals should be our top priority.816 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Beatrix Hubbard

Keep Nelson Santos Home**UPDATE** Thursday, June 14th Nelson received a 6 month stay of deportation this afternoon. This good news means that we can continue to fight to keep Nelson home! The bad news is the transplant surgeons will not give Nelson his new kidney unless he can guarantee to be home for one year of post operative care. The fight to keep Nelson home so he can get his life saving surgery (and live his life with his wife and children) continues! #KeepFamiliesTogether! The brief history: Nelson has lived in the Stamford, Connecticut for 30 years and is married to a U.S. citizen. He is a dad and a homeowner. Nelson’s wife Patricia successfully petitioned for him to stay in the US, but an ICE judge ignored the USCIS recommendation to approve his green card and wants him deported. In what seems like a never-ending downpour of anti-immigrant, anti-family sentiments and actions at the hands our government, this is yet another show of the inhumanity and callousness of ICE. Nelson’s deportation order is a de facto death sentence. If he returns to Honduras, he will die. He gets dialysis in his home town 3 to 4 times a week- and this is what is keeping him alive until his transplant. Join us in speaking up for Nelson. Please sign this petition and share it with 3 friends. Thank you.

Stop Segregated BusingPlease help us stop segregated busing of students in Lakewood. The Lakewood Board of Education funding is funding busing of 40,000 students on buses and to schools that are segregated by both sex and religion which is strictly forbidden by the State of New Jersey Constitution. The public schools are failing because they receive less money than what is paid for the segregated busing to segregated schools..18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Craig Radhuber

Legalize HempHemp grows quicker and uses less water when compared to similar crops, meaning that shifting to hemp could be a net boon for the environment. It is an especially good alternative to cotton, which is one of the dirtiest crops when it comes to pesticide use and greenhouse gas emissions. Hemp can be used to make rope, clothes, and many other fabrics and materials -- but the crop has been unfairly tied to strict marijuana policy for decades, despite negligible amounts of the psychoactive compound THC. Legalizing hemp could help the environment, farm income, and consumer choice! It's about time: tell your members of Congress to pass the Hemp Farming Act.155 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Alexander Rony, SierraRise
