1. The U.S. Should Pursue the Extradition of Convicted Murderer Joanne Chesimard From Cuba 
Joanne Chesimard is an escaped convicted murderer of a NJ State Trooper. She has been living openly in Cuba for more than three decades.
She must be brought back to the United States to finish serving her sentence!
CALLING EVERYBODY WHO IS INTERESTED IN SEEKING JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME!!!
If we want to remain safe in the future it is vital for a national compulsory DNA database, storing the profiles of every British citizen to be created. Giving police officers the freedom to fight crime back on our streets rather than in offices trying to look evidence, a compulsory national DNA database would help to deter many criminals from committing crimes; essentially leading to us all sleeping safer in our beds at night and being safe in the knowledge that crime is on the decrease in the United Kingdom.
BE PART IN THE REVOLUTION TO DECREASE CRIME IN THE UNITED KINGDOM NOW!
3. Support new rehabilitation/work programs for veterans and criminals
I'm creating a program that will rehabilitate veterans, criminals and anyone who has a desire to live a mental illness or addictive free life. At the same time clean up communities, reunite families, save tax payers money, lower crime, save city and state on taxes.
This program will change the recovery paradigm because 100% of existing programs focus on the wrong beliefs and are only out for financial gain. This program will not only rehabilitate, but give the individual the means to support themselves.
A great number of rehabilitation facilities are getting compensated only to return the individual back to their communities without any real recovery. The families and the court system are left to deal with the individual and the same problem after paying the bill. This problem will continue to grow if we dont change the paradigm. For too long the beliefs of the people was that recovery was not possible.
This program gives the individual hope,skills, support and preference. These are the key ingredients to success. Families, communities and the court system are feed up with repeated offenders. Its time we start the recovery process over and start changing the paradigm one individual at a time.......

5. Mandatory jail sentences for persons convicted of seriously assaulting Queensland Police
Imagine someone coming up and spitting in your face and not knowing if that person carried diseases such as HepB, HepC or HIV. Then the 6 month wait and numerous blood tests to confirm you haven't caught such disease.
Police are here to protect our community, and criminals think they can do what they want and the magistrates hand down soft sentences.
On the 04th August 2004 at 13:10, my life and that of my family changed for ever when I was shot with a 375 hunting rifle, by one of my ex-employees. I nearly did not survive; the bullet went through the back of my neck which left me paralysed from the neck down. I ended up in Montana Private Hospital.
It was a nightmare as we did not have medical aid, my husband did not have access to our business bank account, if it was not for friends and family who helped with money, the hospital would not even have accepted me. I would have been dead today.
It has now been seven years and I am slowly but surely getting some of my life back. I am able to walk again, I am thankful for that what I can do, as the specialists did not think I would walk again, I still have a lot of pain every day. I get very bad muscle spasms daily and have not found anything to date to help for this.
The court sentenced him to 17 years, 5 years of which was suspended; the cause against him was for attempted murder and the unlawful possession of a fire arm and ammunition. By chance my father saw him in our local Spar and come to me and said that he did not want scare me but he suggest we try and find out he was out. True to life he had been paroled after just spending 6 years in prison. We tried to get an urgent appeal from the high court to keep him away from us but it was turned down, they said we could not prove urgency.
The worst part of this whole ordeal is firstly what it has done to my family and the financial costs then, today and for the rest of my life. I feel that he got 17 years, for what that was worth, I got life. I was a victim and with a lot of hard work I made myself a survivor with the help of my husband and the people around my, now they Correctional System has made us all victims again. If I think of all the pain I have had to endure and still feel today and that man is walking around as if nothing has happened it makes me very mad, why give someone a prison sentence us to reduce it again.
I cannot image that the people making these decisions, do not stop for a minute to think of what they are doing to the survivors of these bad crimes. So to our criminal justice system my life is only valued at six years because that was the only punishment he got for trying to take my life.
Hopefully my story will inspire you and others because I think it is time we do something to get tougher sentence for people committing these types crimes and to keep them in prison.
7. Campaign to End Corruption within FIFA
The expose by the British media and the BBC Panorama programme on the 29th of November 2010 of the corruption within the FIFA Executive and the fact that they are largely ignoring it.
8. Bring the death Penalty to Canada for sex offenders with multiple convictions
In 1998 while on parole for the sexual assault of an Abbotsford woman, Dean Zimmerman was sent back to jail for severally beating his pregnant wife. In 2005, after being granted early release once again by the Canadian National Parole Board, Zimmerman sexually assaulted a 24-year-old Edmonton woman by holding her captive, tying her up and sexually assaulting her for nine hours.
In 1994 Franklin Shane Dorfer was convicted of breaking into the home of a 69 year old Victoria woman, raping and robbing her. He then broke into a second home and robbed a 71 year old woman. Three years later while out on parole Franklin Dorfer was jailed for six months for a Port Coquitlam break-and-enter. In 2004 he was back on the streets. Shortly thereafter, Dorfer was sentenced to two years in jail for break-and-enter and possession of stolen property. Once again, Dorfer received early parole and is now accused of breaking into the home of an 89-year-old woman in Nanaimo and sexually assaulting her.
In 2005 Brian Edward Abrosimo was arrested for the sexual assault of an 11 year old girl, only days after finishing a six month conditional sentence (served in the community) for assault. Abrosimo has a court history that spans 18 years and includes two previous sexual assault charges, as well as numerous theft, assault and firearm convictions.
In 2004 sexual offender Michael William Gardiner, was released on statutory release in Hamilton. Thirteen days later he sexual assaulted a Hamilton woman, stabbing her multiple times.
In 2005 Colin Daryl Fuson was returned to jail after he was discovered crouching in the shadows in a North Vancouver driveway. Fuson is a violent sexual offender with more than 30 criminal convictions, including break-and-enter and sex offences against adult and teenage females.
In 1999 Clifford Howdle was released on statutory release in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Upon his release, Howdle raped three women over a 36-hour period.
In 2004, convicted sex offender Charles Jamieson left his halfway house in East Vancouver. He then raped five people in Vancouver over a ten day period before being apprehended.
In 2004 Lawrence Sharpe was released from prison after serving a sentence for a violent beating that left a man brain damaged. Twice during his sentence Sharpe received statutory release from the National Parole Board. Both times Sharpe violated the conditions of his release and ended up back in jail. One month prior to the completion of his sentence the National Parole Board declared Sharpe an unmanageable risk to society, yet no further action was taken to keep him behind bars. Sharpe was released and now stands charged of killing two Regina men.
In 1999 Trevor James Fontaine was sentenced to 5 years in prison for sexual assault and attempted murder. Out on parole four years into his sentence, Fontaine befriended Vanderhoof woman Misty Franklin. He then stabbed her in the back of the neck. The 24 year old mother of two is now a quadriplegic and is kept alive by a ventilator.
In 1988 Eli Ulayuk was convicted of manslaughter. After being granted full parole in 2004 he murdered his Yellowknife parole officer Louise Pargeter during their first meeting.
In 2004 Eric Fish walked away from a Vernon halfway house. Six weeks later, 75 year old Bill Abramenko was beaten during a home invasion and later died in hospital. Fish was charged with this murder, and is the prime suspect in the murder of another Vernon resident, 60-year-old Jeffrey Drake. Drake was killed two weeks after Fish left the halfway house, his body found in Okanagan Lake a month later.
In 1997 convicted killer and young offender Serena Nicotine was transferred to a community home in Saskatoon while serving her sentence. Nicotine along with Catherine McKenzie, another young offender, murdered homeowner Helen Montgomery (who had no knowledge that the girls were violent offenders) by hitting her over the head with a cast iron frying pan and stabbing her 15 times.
The Statistics
Many repeat offender statistics in Canada are deceptively low. One of the reasons for this is that Corrections Canada excludes provincial statistics from their rates (federal and provincial correctional departments do not currently share information with one another). An offender serving time in a federal jail who had previously served time in a provincial jail would not be labeled a repeat offender. Out of 310,000 convictions in 2002-03 only 4281 offenders were sentenced to a federal prison. In addition, Correctional Services statistics do not take into account conditional sentences or other non-prison sentences, which have grown in popularity. Finally, Correctional Services rates do not include offenders that have been free for more than three years. In light of these factors, it is easy to see just how misleading these statistics can become.
The few studies that do attempt to track prior convictions across jurisdictions peg recidivism at alarmingly high rates. Six out of every ten convicted offenders aged 18 to 25 in 1999/2000 had at least one previous conviction, according to a new pilot study of court-based recidivism in seven provinces and two territories. Among these repeat offenders, 72% had multiple prior convictions. Nine out of ten offenders sentenced to a federal corrections facility (meaning at least a two year sentence) had at least one prior conviction either in adult or youth court. (Source: Statistics Canada)
The Problem
Dangerous and violent offenders terrorize our communities time and time again. These criminals leave victims in their paths of destruction. Victims like Misty Franklin, the 24 year old mother of two who will spend the rest of her life as a quadriplegic.
These criminals also tie up valuable police time. Officers often have a good idea who is a risk to re-offend and then must go out of their way to try to protect society from these criminals. When a crime is committed police time and resources are further tied up in searching for and arresting repeat offenders and compiling evidence against them.
What our justice system lacks, among other things, is the idea that multiple convictions should result in longer or even permanent sentences. Both our courts and our parole boards are enabling long and active criminal careers.
The same pattern repeatedly emerges. A criminal commits a crime, receives little or no jail time, is let out early if he or she does receive any jail time, offends again, once again receives little or no jail time, once again is let out early if he or she does receive jail time and once again re-offends. In some cases this cycle repeats dozens of times over several decades, creating countless new victims.
The Solution
Unlike certain justice issues, the solution to the problem of repeat offenders is a simple one.
YOU ARE A REPEAT OFFENDER WITH MULTIPLE CONVICTIONS YOU WILL BE SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON AND DEATH ROW.
Why let them back into a society that clearly they cant handle or be trusted, they are sick individuals and need to be scared into not doing these things otherwise, yes you will be in jail for the rest of your life and your eventual outcome is death.
This is not unkind this is just, Our children cannot speak for themselves so we have to make this change for them so that they maybe alittle safer and we can sleep at night knowing our justice system is protecting the innocent.
9. Murdering Mum Leanne Smith should serve life in prison
I am starting this petition as this world and its rules needs reassessing, as no justice is being served.
Going to prison, convicted murderers, rapists etc is like a holiday, they have televisions, get well looked after. They should get treated like animals not royalty.
Too many children are getting murdered in this world and it's about time that people like you and so called Social Services put a stop to it. The lady who murdered 2 young children, as the news has stated the judge is wondering whether she should go to prison. I think people like her need the death penalty. I really think that that should come back in, as in those days, it was a nice world.
We think the pendulum has swung too far in the favour of criminals. We don’t think crime is taken seriously enough in Queensland. Police can’t chase car thieves and judges are directed by laws that say gaol is a last resort.
Criminals have too many rights – it’s time the Queensland Government started to think about Our Right to Feel Safe.
We are serious about Our Right to Feel Safe in Queensland and we are calling on you to take action.
We feel less safe because criminal behaviour is not sufficiently punished in Queensland.
12. No Confidence In Westminster
Our "politicians" and "business" leaders are criminals and criminals are not going to pass laws against themselves.
13. UK should withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights
The European Convention on Human Rights was signed by the UK government in 1998 without any prior consent from the British public.
This has caused us to lose our right to self govern and means that any criminal can appeal to the EU Court which overrules our courts.
14. Scrap the Human Rights Act
For years the British Legal System has operated effectively without intervention from Europe and without the interference of the Human Rights Act.
The Human Rights Act has inflicted more harm than good on the British Public. In recent months it has dictated that prisoners must be given the vote, prisoners are allowed to sue prisons for taking them off heroin to early and more recently murderers and rapists have been released early because not giving them a proper parole hearing infringed their human rights.
What about the law-abiding tax payer who has to stand by and see criminals walk free and their taxes used to pay out record sums of compensation to people who are in prison because they have no regard for the rights of others?
It is time to scrap the Human Rights Act and get back to 'our' system of law which has worked for hundreds of years and provided a model to other countries around the World.
15. Bring Back 'Australia's Most Wanted' to TV
Australia's Most Wanted was a television program that screened on the Seven Network from 1989 until 1999.
It involved reinactments of real life crimes, in an attempt to help catch the perpetrator.
It was entertaining, and served as a valuable service to the community.
16. Violent juvenile criminals should be tried as adults
July 13, 2006
The history of this Petition is to start a change to the policies for violent juveniles.
Violent juveniles should get tried as adults for repeated violent crimes.
June 2, 2005
Enforce the Death Penalty
To Strongly Support means you believe: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life. The death penalty is appropriate punishment for murder, as a form of justice regardless of the deterrence effect.
Support means you believe: The death penalty and other strict forms of law enforcement will reduce the crime rate by removing criminals from the streets and by deterring others from criminal acts. Capital punishment laws should be enforced.
Capital punishment is effective. No one has proven a "wrongful death" in any modern state executions. Stricter penalties reduce violent crime.
We keep building new prisons. Why don't we get rid of the criminals that don't value a persons life? Get rid of the ones that rape and kill our innocent children. Get rid of the criminal that can rape and kill an elderly woman. Get rid of the criminal that can kill an innocent store clerk. Let's teach the new generation, killing is a definite death penalty.
Why do they live better than some of our other hard working Americans? I am tired of supporting these convicted child and adult killers. Are we supporting them for the pain they have caused those that have lost loved ones?
Now we have kids killing kids. Is our society letting them think it is okay? If we start the Death Penalty now, we can keep some kids from going into crime.
I say enforce the death penalty. Put the criminals where they have put the innocent victims. It is time to take a stand. Wake our system up.
AN EYE FOR AN EYE.
18. Abolish Mandatory Minimums For First Time Offenders
THE OUTRAGE HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH!
THE AMERICAN CITIZENS CAN NOW GET AWAY WITH RAPE, MURDER, AND CHILD MOLESTING, EASIER THAN THEY CAN FOR SMOKING CRACK, CRANK, AND OR COCAINE. AND LOW AND BEHOLD YOU GET CAUGHT SELLING IT, EVEN IF YOUR IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STATE THAN THE DRUGS. YOU'LL GET MORE TIME FOR THIS, EVEN IF IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME EVER BEING IN ANY KIND OF TROUBLE,THAN YOU WOULD FOR A REAL SERIOUS CRIME LIKE THE ONES ABOVE.
AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD BE OUTRAGED AT THIS. I AM A PARENT, A TAX PAYER AND A U.S. CITIZEN, AND I WOULD RATHER HAVE MY CHILD ON DRUGS THAN TO BE MOLESTED, RAPED, OR MURDERED, AT LEAST IF THEY ARE ON DRUGS I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I CANT IF THESE OTHER THINGS WERE TO HAPPEN TO THEM. MURDERS IS FOR LIFE YOU CANT BRING THEM BACK. RAPE IS FOR LIFE, THAT FEAR IS ALWAYS THERE, BEING MOLESTED IS BY ALL MEANS NEVER FORGOTTEN, AND CAN LEAD TO MORE CHILD MOLESTERS IN THE FUTURE.
SO WHY CANT AMERICA GET ITS PRIORITIES IN ORDER, AND PUT THE REAL CRIMINALS IN THE PRISONS?
19. Victims Harvest Bill of Human Rights ---- HR XXXX
Victim's Harvest Bill of Human Rights ---- HR XXXX
The sole determined purpose of this humble petition is for The United States of America to finally ensure that death sentence criminals who have been convicted of capital crimes against mankind pay for their heinous and vicious crimes against our society by enacting a lock-tight comprehensive Congressional Federal law or amendment --- that is Supreme Court appeal proof --- that convicted death penalty criminals shall have to forfeit their bodies immediately after last appeal is exhausted with no death row waiting and become instant organ donors.
Basically, any criminal who has been convicted of a capital crime in or against the United States of America has to instantly forfeit his body organs as a federal punishment to atone for his crimes to society. The revised death sentence appeals process will now also be limited to two calendar years after conviction. This new law will supercede, overwrite and replace any state or federal law and will be applied no matter what may be the criminal's religion, faith, color, creed, belief's, sex, sexual orientation or whatever possible reason.
Any criminal that believes he needs his body parts for his or her next life will have still to suffer the consequences of the new law. The convicted death sentence criminal will be given ample notice by the passing of this new Federal Law or amendment that any capital death sentence offense now carries this new instant organ donor provision, therefore any religious, spiritual or personal concerns are deemed invalid and irrelevant due to the severity of the capital crime and the public notice.
Any financial gain or proceeds from distribution of the victim's organs, skin, bones, eyes, kidney's, heart, lungs or any conceivable use of his body shall go directly to the victim's family or families. The victim's family shall be the sole determiner of the financial rewards and have a limited say on who gets the body parts if needed by other victims of the crime or family members.
The harvest of the victim's organs should be done in the most absolute painless and humane way possible so as not to cause any cruel and unusual punishment, but not to lose any useable part of the anatomy.
A very small benefit --- totally useless in my opinion, but worth mentioning --- of this new VHBOHR, it may also serve as a possible deterrent for any future crimes, although this is not a reason for future passage or my respectful, humble request for your consideration or signature..
The convicted criminal or any anti-death penalty groups who feel this is somehow a possible violation of the new donor's human or civil rights have the option of making a further cash donation to the victim's families or offering a prayer or petition for the painless harvest of the convicted capital criminal. The opposition voices to the VHBOHR shall be drowned out by the anguished cries of the victims for justice and true punishment and shall never be heard or even considered.
The only single drawback is that this new law or amendment is that it will not apply to all current convicts living on death row at the present time.
With American society now rampant and constantly besieged by new child sex predator killers, perverted rapists/killers, murderers, cop killers, terrorists in custody here and in Guantanamo, and all types of capital crime death row felons, it has now become apparent that America has to seek proper justice, punishment, restitution and recompense for the crimes committed by these convicts for the victims of these atrocities.
It is now time for America's Victims to harvest the organs or the convicted criminals, so in death they can become repentant if possible, whether forced in the end to donate their organs or willfully donated. Hopefully some will leave this world feeling better that they have paid for their sins and crimes and given life to their fellow members of society.
I can assure you that most death row inmates believe in a life after death and by enacting this law, the new Victim's Harvest Bill of Human Right's Bill, the donor's will come to have a sense of peace and atonement and come to believe that their actions will maybe help them in some small way in their next life.
Respectfully submitted for your signature.
20. Time to stop short prison sentences
Too many criminals are getting off with a slap on the wrist. We need a major crack down on short sentence times: eg. the girl who commits a brutal pre-meditated murder and gets only 4 years in jail because she is 15 years old.
21. Do not put people arrested for drug use in prison with hard criminals
I think that people arrested for marijuana use should not be placed in prison with murderers, rapists, arsonists, and theives. The only crimes these people are committing are against themselves. Now drug DEALERS, that's a different story, especially if they're dealing more harmful drugs than cannibus. These sleezeballs should be put in jail with 300 pound men named bubba who haven't had a 'friend' in a while. Anyway... first of all, i think marijuana should be legalized, but since it's not, i think that people who are arrested for marijuana use should be put in their own jail. Where, as Dennis Miller puts it, they can sit around on the floor and watch cartoons or play hacky-sack all day. Because what they did wasn't hurting anyone else. They are not committing crimes against humanity. It's like cigarette smoking; it's their decision and they're only hurting themselves. Please support my petition!!!!!!!!!!!!!
22. Cancel the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement
On January 1, 1997 the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement came into effect. The idea of this agreement, which eliminated 80% of tarrifs between the two countries, was founded during more peaceful days in the Holy Land. Now, however, Israel is committing terrible crimes against the Palestinian people. These crimes, such as torture and harbouring war criminals, plainly violate international law.
Canada cannot continue its overly friendly relations with Israel under such conditions. The agreement while granting Israel great wealth causes Palestinian businesses to lose an estimated 6 million American dollars a day. This petition is for the cancelation of the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement.
