Stop slapping HSBC and other "Too Big to Prosecute or Fail" banks on the wrist with only monetary fines. We the people of the United States are held responsible and will be prosecuted for money laundering and we expect the same from companies that do business in our country. We expect our country to withhold the laws of the land by prosecuting banks who knowingly take money from sanctioned countries like Iran, Cuba, Sudan, Libya, and Burma and who knowingly launder money. HSBC did both. We expect prosecution. If you cannot prosecute this company because it is "Too Big" then divide it. No person or company should be beyond the U.S. capability to prosecute.

Stop using the term "illegal immigrant." An analysis by the Sunlight Foundation has found that you are the two most frequent users of this offensive term in Congress over the last five years. Please follow the example of the Associated Press and stop using this insulting term - no human beings are "illegal." A behavior is illegal, but a person is not.

While George Zimmerman sits at home in his easy chair, guzzling his beer and watching Championship Wrestling with his court date being delayed and delayed and even being able to sue the news, media, etc., Marissa Alexander—a battered woman—languishes in prison behind outright trumped-up charges by the state attorney's office for her "crime" of self-defense. She had to "go get her gun," a legally licensed firearm, out of her vehicle. Mrs. Jackelyn Barnard, Director of Communications, has, due to my complaint to Mrs. Corrine Brown's offices about this case, sent me by email 911 tapes and attachments of charges against Mrs. Alexander—all stemming from this lone incident—that are carefully worded, practically describing her as some out-of-control, wild-eyed cowboy chasing children and victims through their house and firing wildly into the air. She also claimed that Mrs. Alexander went to her abusive husband's residence and "he ended up with a black eye." For these clutching-at-straws accusations, she's supposed to be justifiably sentenced to 20 YEARS in prison, having no prior criminal convictions whatsoever. SHE was a battered woman. Her husband has never been sentenced to 20 years for all the beatings he's made HER endure, including while she was pregnant. This is absolutely a case of judicial misconduct. She is not deserving of prison time—period—for having become fed up with being beaten up and berated by her abusive husband. Remember, a woman was allowed to TORCH her husband HOURS after a bad beating. Not only did she not do any time, but a TV movie was made about her pain and suffering. Mrs. Alexander has undoubtedly suffered "battered woman syndrome," and she does NOT deserve to be sentenced at all—let alone sentenced for longer than outright murderers and other career criminals. Please sign this petition for the IMMEDIATE RELEASE and DISMISSAL of ALL CHARGES against Mrs. Marissa Alexander, and return her to her family in safety.

We ask you to keep your commitment to attend a public meeting to discuss Citizens United and SB 136. We support SB 136 as a common sense bill that “recognize[s] the need for a United States Constitutional Amendment to address the Citizens United ruling and related cases, that protects New Hampshire’s ability to make its own laws regarding campaign finance while protecting the First Amendment."
