121. Reconsideration of Reorganization of the Richardson Police Department, Richardson, TX 
The Richardson Police Department has, in conjunction with the Richardson City Council and the City Manager, proposed a full reorganization of the police department. The reorganization will eliminate almost all positions of the Investigations division and place officers that vacated these positions in the Patrol division. The Crime Prevention division would also be eliminated. The result of these moves would force a patrol officer in a given area to handle all aspects of law enforcement from report writing for an offense to investigating the offense (which almost always entails interviewing victims and witnesses, let alone searching for perpetrators of the offense). The patrol officer would also be responsible for preventing crime in the respective area.
We, as concerned Richardson citizens, feel that the patrol officers would be unable to efficiently manage all of the aforementioned duties. We ask that the City Council take a step back and reconsider this reorganization, taking into account all of the views and concerns that have been voiced since this plan had been initially considered.
We have lodged this petition due to the lack of and poor facilities for a skate park in this area. The skate parks that are available, are not easily accessible for these children. Most of them don't even have any transport. A lot of the younger generation need something to do.
People might have read in the North Shore Times, a story in relation to children and teenagers that have been related to crime. I suggest that with a proposed skate park, it could well mean less crime in the area. The youngsters would have something to keep them entertained.
123. Iraq
Since the Gulf War, the United States' sanctions on Iraq have killed over 700,000 children.
This crime of a mass scale has sent an uproar throughout the world - so much so that the very nation that Iraq attacked has violated the sanctions and sent aid to Iraq's children.
This crime is so inhumane that prominent individuals like Doctors, Entertainers and other professionals from the United States have donated goods to Iraq. Some entertainers like Val Kilmer even went there to express their sentiments for the children.
Wars happen - but inhumane systematic holocaust of children should not accepted.
124. John Maloney: Innocent Man- Petition
John Maloney was wrongfully convicted of killing his wife in 1999. There is sufficient evidence that there was absolutely no crime committed at all, by anyone, yet John Maloney sits in prison for no reason at all. This petition will be used for two purposes: to gain public support over the Internet and elsewhere and hopefully have a powerful affect on the court system to get John Maloney a new trial. John Maloney and everyone else that believes in him, wants his name cleared of this mockery of justice. Please read the facts at http://johnmaloney.org and sign this petition to show your support. And always remember "An INJUSTICE anywhere, is a threat to JUSTICE everywhere!" We hope to put a stop to injustice in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
