Free Marissa Alexander From Unjust 20yr. sentence!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.1,759 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Janet Garnett

MSNBC Suspend Chris Matthews or Give Bernie Equal TimeMSNBC should suspend Chris Matthews, host of Hardball, because of his constant shilling for Hillary Clinton. In every episode of Hardball, in every "exclusive" interview with Clinton, he gives her endless time to make her case, repeats her talking points, gives her softball questions, denigrates Bernie Sanders and his people powered movement and reinforces the narrative that she will be the Democratic nominee. Matthews should be removed from the air for the duration of the campaign or he should be required to give Bernie equal time.19,522 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by Lauren Steiner

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor: File Charges against Officers for killing Tamir RiceWe, the undersigned, demand that charges be filed against the Cleveland police officers responsible for the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice. Tamir was innocently minding his own business in a public picnic shelter at Cudell Recreation Center on November 22, 2014, when a police squad car driven by Officer Frank Gramback suddenly descended upon him and Officer Timothy Loehmann fired two shots in 0.792 seconds, hitting Tamir in the stomach. Unless police are held accountable for such unwarranted use of deadly force, there is no question that tragedies like this will continue to happen.619 of 800 SignaturesCreated by LaTonya Goldsby
