We petition President Obama to offer Governor Romney a Presidential Pardon (either at or before the debates) that will free him from any prosecution from the Federal Government should the tax returns for the past 12 years indicate any illegal activities. Therefore, "freeing" Governor Romney of any "burden" or fear of government reprisal for releasing his federal returns for the past 12 years.

The Petition  We, the undersigned residents of Springfield, Massachusetts, respectfully urge the Springfield City Council to pass a resolution declaring Springfield a sanctuary city for LGBTQ+ individuals, with special protections for transgender and gender-diverse people. What Sanctuary Status Means By declaring Springfield an LGBTQ+ sanctuary city, our City Council would commit to: ✅ Protect healthcare access - Ensure LGBTQ+ residents can access gender-affirming care without fear of prosecution ✅ Refuse cooperation with discrimination - Not use city resources to enforce federal or state policies that harm LGBTQ+ people ✅ Maintain inclusive city services - Keep all city services accessible regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation ✅ Provide safe harbor - Offer refuge for those fleeing discriminatory laws in other states Have Springfield Join a Growing Movement Massachusetts has a proud history of LGBTQ+ leadership. Springfield would join other Massachusetts cities leading the way: Northampton (October 2024), Worcester (February 2025), Boston, Cambridge, North Adams & Pittsfield (March 2025), Greenfield and Salem (April 2025), Easthampton and Waltham (June 2025). Our Ask is Simple We ask the Springfield City Council to: 1. Pass a resolution declaring Springfield a sanctuary city and place of safety for LGBTQ+ individuals 2. Commit city resources to protecting, not prosecuting, our LGBTQ+ neighbors 3. Recognize the importance of gender-affirming healthcare as a matter of health, privacy, and equality and ensure that those rights are upheld for all residents and visitors to the greatest extent permitted by law 4. Send a message that Springfield welcomes everyone with dignity and respect Time is Running Out With New Hampshire banning trans youth healthcare, the Supreme Court upholding Tennessee's ban on youth gender-affirming care and Trump’s trans military ban while also threatening marriage equality, and attacks on LGBTQ+ rights escalating nationwide, Springfield must act.   Our LGBTQ+ neighbors - including transgender youth whose lives depend on access to healthcare - need to know that Springfield stands with them.   Springfield is already showing leadership. Our city runs the Safe Spaces Program serving LGBTQ+ youth in grades 6-12 through summer and after-school programming focused on advocacy, social-emotional learning, and community building.    Sanctuary city status would strengthen and protect these vital programs while ensuring all LGBTQ+ residents have the safety they deserve.

Hi, My name is Mariano Brown, I was detained by ICE in 2019 and held in custody for two years while fighting my case. I was then released back to my family in January, 2022. While being free I did a PCR on my deportable charge and had it downgraded to a non deportable charge which became a wandering charge, also being free I maintained a job working for a company called CAM MILLWORK in Easton PA for over two years. During these times I’m still waiting for a decision with my case from the circuit courts. In January, 2025, when the Trump administration took over, I received a letter saying my case was denied by the judge’s discretion and was detained by ICE again January 31, 2025, and then deported back to Trinidad on March 29, 2025, taken away from my three daughters, my mom and my disabled little brother that are all now suffering from me not being around. So I’m asking for help to get me returned back to my family, please, that really needs me. Thank you.
