121. Ban the use of gas chambers in North Carolina Pounds 
Killing With Kindness Campaign.
Dogs and cats that are taken to the pound in hopes of finding a new home are more likely to end up being put to death in a gas chamber, a cruel and outdated method of killing. Our shelter uses carbon monoxide poisoning as the primary method of destroying animals. The other more humane killing method, a sodium pentobarbital injection, is reserved for animals too sick, too young, too pregnant, or too injured to be effectively destroyed in the gas chamber. Less than 1% of the humane society shelters in the nation use this cruel and out-dated method and California, Florida, and Tennessee have prohibited its use on companion animals all together. Why then is it the main killing method at the Craven/Pamlico Animal Services Center in Craven County?
As long as it is deemed necessary to kill these unfortunate animals, the very least we can do is provide them with a more gentle way of dying. In an act of compassion, Pals for Paws is launching a "Killing With Kindness" campaign to stop the inhumane killing.
The fact that this is a horrific death and that these animals die in fear is well documented. When multiple animals are placed in a chamber at the same time and are gassed together, they injure themselves and each other in their terror. A crescendo of their mournful wails can be heard for up to 45 seconds. The last few moments of their lives are spent in a desperate attempt to get away from the deadly gas. After the allotted time, what is left is a pile of dead animals covered in feces and urine whose carcasses are then removed to provide space for the next batch.
A method of killing by lethal injection is much kinder to the animal. This takes two people. One person holds the animal while the other gently slips a needle into a vein. The collapse of the animal is almost instantaneous as the syringe is emptied. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) recommend an injection of sodium pentobarbital as the preferred method of euthanasia. When performed properly, this has been found to be the most humane, safest, least stressful and most rapid method of euthanasia of dogs and cats without causing fear and distress in the animals.
The "Killing With Kindness" campaign is a grassroots campaign being conducted by animal welfare and animal rights groups through out the nation and sponsored locally by Pals for Paws. This is your campaign-the taxpayers-for it is your taxes that fund the local shelter and your voice that can effect a change in the existing system. Whether this campaign lives or dies, whether companion animals die cruelly or compassionately will depend on your involvement.
We hope that every animal related individual or group in the area will support and participate with us in our efforts to urge our shelter to purge the use of the gas chamber as so many others in the country have done. We have prepared a petition to present to our local and state legislatures to make a federal law a reality to stop this method of killing. We hope that this campaign will set an example of how people can come together for the animals in our care. Please add your voice to ours by signing our petition and please promote and support every animal adoption resource so that we can put an end to the killing. Our shelter is killing over 5,000 animals a year. Sadly, most of these animals were healthy and would have made wonderful pets.
122. STOP The Dancing Bears of India!
One of the most horrible forms of animal torture are the dancing bears of India. These native Sloth bear cubs are captured from their homes in the wild, their mothers killed.
Every captured cub must undergo the painful ordeal of having its sensitive muzzle pierced so that it can be controlled. It is held down without anaesthetic while a crude iron needle is heated in a coal fire and plunged in with a group of men holding the squealing cub tight. The tug of this rope, along with an intense fear of the strike of a heavy stick, motivates the bear to lift its legs in turn and 'dance'.
Before it is a year old, the bear's incisors and canine teeth will be wrenched out and sold as lucky charms. The toothless bear is unable to eat its natural diet, and this often leads to terminal intestinal disorders.
Every year, over 100 bear cubs are taken from the wild and sold or traded at markets to gypsies. Many of the cubs do not even survive the journey back to the village because of dehydration or traumatic ordeal. Despite the fact that there is a law against the capture and trade of bears in India, it is rarely enforced. This cruel fate happens to an estimated 1,200 of these adorable bear cubs each year. The poor animals live short lives of pain, misery, and premature death.
123. 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.
124. Abolish The Death Penalty in the USA
A petition to abolish the Death Penalty in the U.S.
Please abolish the Death Penalty in the U.S. We are supposed to be a land of forgiveness and freedom. What ever happened to the morals in our Great country? The Bible states, "Thou shall not kill." I can not find where it says ,except for government. We can not, and will not stand for the State sanctioned murder of anymore human beings.
Please find the compassion in your heart and souls to put an end to the heartbreak and suffering of all the families and friends of the victims on both sides.
125. Stop bullfighting in Portugal
Detailed Information in english will follow on http://animal.org.pt. Information in german on http://www.antistierkampf.de
GLOBAL ACTION AGAINST BULLFIGHTS IN PORTUGAL
After the legalisation of death bullfights in Portugal (which were forbidden since 1928), the Portuguese animal rights organisation ANIMAL called for an international action of protest, not only against death bullfights in Portugal, but also to demand the end of all sorts of bullfighting in this country.
On the 29th August, when the first bulls will be legally tortured and killed in a bullfight in Portugal, since 1928, demonstrations will be held in front of Portuguese Embassies and Consulates all over the world. In co-operation with several animal rights and animal protection organisations and groups from several countries, ANIMAL has already assured simultaneous demonstrations to be held on that day (besides, of course, in Lisbon), in: Madrid (Spain), Paris (France), Brussels (Belgium), Berlin (Germany), La Hague (Netherlands), London (England), Rome and Milan (Italy), Athens (Greece), New York City and Washington, D.C. (USA), Tel Aviv (Israel), and Budapest (Hungary). And as the hours and days go by, more and more countries are joining in what will probably be one of the greatest global protests for animal rights.
All these demonstrations will occur simultaneously throughout the world, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. (Greenwich Time).
In front of Portuguese diplomatic representations, activists from all countries will display posters and banners reading, "The World says NO to the barbaric killing of bulls in Portugal!", among others. This slogan will of course be extensive to all the countries in the world where bullfights still happen.
According to a recent survey carried out by the most reliable and the most renowned Portuguese survey company together with one of the main Portuguese daily newspapers, 83.1% of the Portuguese people are against death-bullfights and 74.5% don't like any type of bullfights (DN/Marktest survey, 25/7/2002).
"If the President of Portugal, the Portuguese Government and the Portuguese Members of Parliament choose to ignore the opinion of the great majority of the Portuguese people and choose to ignore the animal rights organisations, both firmly opposed to all sorts of bullfights, it is time for the world to know that Portugal is a living hell, not only for the bulls but for all animals in general", says Miguel Moutinho, from ANIMAL, who is coordinating this international action. "The Portuguese politicians only fear international shame and economic damage. So that is exactly what they are going to face from now onwards, starting with this worldwide protest. Let us hope that the Portuguese Leaders will at least respond positively to this kind of pressure".

126. Uganda: Stolen children, stolen lives - A plea for the Acholi people in Uganda
Join us in the heart of Africa.
Gulu, Northern Uganda.
Where almost half a million people live in displaced persons camps.
Where the "Lord's Resistance Army" (LRA) have abducted over 12,000 children during the past 16 years. Who are treated as slaves, forced to become child soldiers, sexual slaves and labourers.
Where the rebel Lord's Resistance Army murders in their attempt to set up a fundamentalist state based on the Ten Commandments
--by breaking the Fifth -"Thou shalt not kill."
Where starving people share the little they have with their neighbours to keep them alive. Those who have enough food for two meals a day give one of those meals to someone who has nothing.
Where right now the crops lie unharvested in the fields and mass starvation threatens a once proud and free people.
Where Aid agencies must often withdraw and people live daily in fear.
Where each year the Governments of Sudan and Uganda, The UN and various other bodies discuss peace but sixteen years into the conflict there is no peace.
Wherethe plight of the people is ignored by the international media.
Northern Uganda is bordered by Southern Sudan, where oil is the major attraction for the international community. The people of Southern Sudan and Northern Uganda have become pawns in an International oil grab.
Where people from Sudan seek refuge among the refugees because of the war in their country.
At a time when billons of dollars are being spent on arms and the military, people are starving to death. While the developed world decides which country to wage war against next, these people are ignored. Through this petition we plea for aid and support for the Acholi people, a forgotten people.
127. Life or death Sentence for any repeat offendor against a child 14yrs or younger
It seems that sex offenders, of children, in the state of California are set off far too easily. There are numerous violent acts against children in our state that could of been prevented (ex. Samantha Runion). Far too many times a violent sex offender against children is set free, only to committ another far more serious crime against a child.
It is our belief that any released sex offender against children 14yrs or younger, convicted of a second charge of the same nature should automatically receive a LIFE OR DEATH sentence for the charge.
128. Reverse Chewbacca's EU Death!
In an EU novel, R. A. Salvatore gave The Mighty Chewbacca an un-climatic death. Chewbacca deserves to live on. Sign this petition if you support reversing this death. The Mighty Chewbacca Lives On!
129. Blood Services Royal Commission Needed
We, the undersigned, request a Royal Commission of Inquiry into Australia's Blood Service management. In the past, thousands of Australians have suffered serious disease, and a significant number have died due to tainted blood transfusions and blood products. Disease and death continue to occur as a result of the therapeutic use of blood. Australians affected by tainted blood products have a right to know why their blood services failed them. A Royal Commission of Inquiry will also help bring about safer blood transfusions and blood products for all Australians in the future.

131. Friday The 13th Part 7 Re-mastered Uncut DVD
How can I help get Part 7 uncut on DVD?
Now, you may be a little confused but don't. This is the plan: When Jason X
is released, Mr Buechler (director of Part 7) wants to make a noise. Well in
the mean time to Jason X being released, all the fans on the web need to come together and send letters and printed off E-mails to the following
address:
MMI
12031 Vose Street
North Hollywood, CA 91605
We need to send lots of letters and printed off E-mails and this will all
build up into sacks and sacks full hopefully. Then when Jason X is released
and Mr Buechler has alot of letters, he is going to call Paramount and
arrange a meeting and take in all these letters in a big sack at once. They
won't be able to ignore that!
If you consider yourself a Friday the 13th fan please, write some letters
and print off E-mails and send them to
MMI
12031 Vose Street
North Hollywood, CA 91605
The letters on the inside have got to be Dear Paramount. But the address on
the outside has to be
MMI
12031 Vose Street
North Hollywood, CA 91605
That way Mr Buechler will recieve them and take them into Paramount and that
means Paramount can not lie and say they have not recieved any. We can't
wait to see there reply when Buechler brings in sacks and sacks full of
letters.
Also, say what you would like to see on the dvd, give features and pitch a
concept. But make sure you ask for Part 7 to be released uncut and be
polite.
Please send your letters and printed off E-mails and let's get Friday The
13th Part 7 and the rest of the series uncut on dvd.
We can do this and we will, remember every letter counts that inculdes yours
so take a few minutes and write that letter! It took over a 1000 letters to
get Star Trek back on the air so it will take about that to get Part 7 uncut
on dvd.
I have a (horror)website can I help?
Yes you can, please put this link on your page and link it to this site so
more people will find out about how to get Part 7 uncut on dvd. We will link
you back ofcourse, just let us know!
Link it to http://www.gutsandgore.com/part7uncut
DO NOT LINK THE BANNER DIRECTLY,
PLEASE PUT IT ON YOUR OWN SITE!
Scenes that were cut.
- Michael's death by spike was more graphic.(Tina's flashback of him was
more graphic as well)
- Dan's death with Jason's hand busting through him was more graphic and
impactful.
- When Russell got gacked w/ Jason's axe there was a BIG burst of blood like
a fountain!
- When Judy was slammed in the sleeping bag, there's more hits against that
tree, and each progressively bloodier than the last
- When Maddy was killed we got to see the syth bite into her neck.
- When Ben's head got crushed-- it got squeezed to the size of a bloody
walnut
- When Dr. Crews got gutted, we got to see his guts
- When Melissa was axed, we got to see the impact.
- And the final teaser ending of the film was removed, where Jason comes up
from the depths and kill an unsuspecting fisherman
- There were also several subtractions of blood and effects track elements
that are missing throughout the film. These scenes exist in one form or
another.
132. Moratorium on Death Sentences in the US
For those who do not know, a Moratorium is:
"a legally authorized period of delay in the performance of a legal obligation or the
payment of a debt b : a waiting period set by an authority"
I am sending this petition to the Govenor of Texas, in a plea for him to grant a Moratorium on current death sentences to be carried out. I am not asking for an opinion or vote on pro/anti death penalty. I am not attempting to abolish the death penalty. I am fighting for the rights of a fair trial and due process. It has been proven in 350 capital convictions over the past 20 years
that the convicted person had not committed the crime. Of these cases,25 people were executed before their innocence was discovered.
In cases where the person was guilty, or at least not proven innocent, most of these did not recieve adequate representation. On many cases the lawyer assigned to the case, had never tried a murder case, and/or an appeals case. In one trial, the defense attorney fell asleep during half of the trial! Fell asleep! And the Judge did nothing saying, that the law doesn't require an attorney to be awake during the trial!
Wrather you are for or against the Death Penalty doesn't apply. We are not fighting for the lives of criminals, we are fighting for fair trials, adequate representation, and a Criminal justice system that stands for the morals, ethics, and virtues, our country promises. Declaring the innocence or guilt is not our judgment, our judgment is to be sure that the person/people determining innocence or guilt, are doing so following all standards and proceedings as they are stated in our constitution and the laws that define what we in America stand for.
I am requesting a Moratorium-that all executions be postponed-untill the system is evalutated and an investigation of criminal proceedings is completed. The system is being investigated regardless, but in the meantime, people are being executed, some which may be proven innocent, probaly once it's too late to matter. Once the investigation is completed, those still found guilty and deserving, will have their execution date set and carried through. We are always open and able to carry through an execution, but once someone gets the needle, there is nothing we can do. We fight not for rights of murderers, we fight for the rights of a country founded on freedom and fairness.
133. Give Yates Woman Death Penalty
The yates woman murdered her five children and only got life in prison. She was also only charged for 3 of the murders. Sign this and help me argue for the death penalty.
134. Let's reduce School to four hours a day M-F
School is hard. It causes pain, stress, suicide, death, confusion, etc. But stopping it is senseless because it cannot happen. 7 hours however is too long, shouldn't it be more like 4 hours? Why not?
135. Legalize Assisted Suicide
I.Assisted suicide is not murder.
A.Murder can be considered ending another person's life without consent, with forethought, with interference of the natural process of death, and with the intent to do harm.
B.Assisted suicide does not fit the definition of murder.
1.Assisted suicide requires consent and a fifteen-day waiting period and the prognosis must be six months in Oregon.
2.Forethought is present when conducting assisted suicide, but it is also present when withdrawing futile treatment.
3.Both assisted suicide and futile treatment interfere with the natural process of death, though one is passive and the other is active, both are forms of euthanasia.
a.Life support prolongs life.
b.Assisted suicide shortens life.
4.When conducting assisted suicide, good intentions of relieving pain are present.
5.Furthermore, the patient, not the doctor, ends the life.
II. Terminally ill patients should be given the option of assisted suicide.
A. Patients have a "natural right," granted in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prevents states from depriving "any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law." Autonomy is important to individuals in the U.S.
B. Preserving life, an interest of the state, is no longer an interest of a terminally ill patient who is in intense pain and wishes to die.
C. A quote from an opponent of assisted suicide, Justice Stevens: "In my judgment
it is clear that [the states'] so-called 'unqualified interest in the preservation of human life'
is not itself sufficient to outweigh the interest in liberty that may justify the only possible means of preserving a dying patient's dignity and alleviating her intolerable suffering."
Assisted suicide is not a bad thing, in fact, it is very good thing. Nobody should be forced to live or die against his or her individual will. I am not asking you to perform assisted suicide or to have assisted suicide performed on you. I am asking that you sign this petition so that someone who is terminally ill and desperately wants and needs to end his or her own life is not prevented from doing so. When you sign this petition, you will be taking part in the relief of an enormous amount of pain and suffering in the state of Iowa.
136. Stop The Abuse at the Polunsky Unit on Death Row in Livingston Texas
This petition is to bring attention to the Governor of Texas and ask for a full investigation concerning the situations and conditions at the Polunsky Unit, Death Row, Livingston Texas.
137. Urgent Appeal Bob Coulson Death Row
We would like to bring to your attention the case of : ROBERT O. COULSON. WE BELIEVE ROBERT IS INNOCENT!!! The case against Robert is of 100% circumstantial, the WEAKEST kind of case there is. There is NO direvt evidence linking Robert to the murders. There is :
- NO DNA or forensic evidence linking Robert to the murders;
- NO fingerprints or eyewitness placing Robert at the scene of the crime;
- NO written or tape recorded confessions from Robert;
- NO cuts, scratches or marks of any kind on Robert the day after the murders.
We are profoundly troubled by the floolowing facts in this case:
- the courts have NOT granted Robert a new trial even though prosectors have ADMITTED presenting false evideence in his trial;
- new evidence which strongly attacks and discredits a large part of the case against Robert was NOT admissable in his appeal;
- additional new evidence was NOT admissable in his appeal;
- additional new evidence was NOT found in time to be used in Robert's appeal;
- the star witness against Robert :
* had the mental age of 13 (at age 23) when he lied and pointed the finger atRobert:
* gave four different stories after police accused him of committing the murders;
* failed a lie detector test on the story that sent Robert to Death Row
*is a habitual liar and has NO credibility in this case against Robert;
-Robert has NEVER been charged with a crime prior to his WRONGFUL arrest in this case.
Along with our genuine sympathy for the family and friend of the victims, we, the undersigned, are also extremely concerned that as Robert grieves the horrible loss of his family a terrible injustice has been done to him. We believe Robert is an innocent man who has been wrongly convicted. In the interest of truth and jsutice we urge the State of Texas to:
GRANT ROBERT O. COULSON A FULL AND UNCONDITONAL PARDON
138. Invader Zim: Door to Door
Recently, reruns begun again for Invader Zim. This does not bother me, except that there was still at least one more episode to show! However, Nickelodean decided that it would offend people if 'Door to Door' was shown. Why? September 11. I am aware that September 11 was horrible, no one is debating that. However, I do believe that some people may be somewhat over sensitive. Think about it. Would anyone have been offended by aliens destroying buildings before? Not most people would have. So, why are we so horrified now? It seems to be because we now relate falling buildings to death. Really? Falling buildings can mean death? No way! Come on!
Any one with a brain knew what could happen if buildings are destroyed. The truth is, September 11 was real. However, the buildings and the people in them in Invader Zim are not. We cannot limit our own culture! We can not limit the range of acceptable material so much that perfectly good potential bits of our culture die! We can not forget the entertaiment is just that, and is not real. The people who die in a movie are not real or do not really die. Death in reality can be mourned.
Serious mourning of deaths in movies or television is ridiculous. I'm sure very few would dispute that. Now then, is the problem that people are reminded of September 11 by such things. This suggests people want to forget the deaths. This, too, is foolish. To wish to forget does more dishonor to the dead than mocking the event. At least mockery accepts that the death happened, while forgetting does not. So, in short, take a risk Nickelodean! WE CAN HANDLE IT!
139. Stop acknowledging Socialism as a form of goverment
Socialism has come about because a few people not in touch with reality think the world can be totally peaceful if we become a one world order, have no use for currency, everyone gets the same amount of everything, people work for humanity instead of money, and are totally against war and death. Granted this is a list of a few things that the world socialist movement has planned, it's still enough to put me up in arms.
The Socialists believe that if the world is one nation there won't be segregation or hate between people. They don't realize we will always have segregation even if not forced as it is the way it has always been. We as humans instinctly group with the people who we fit in with and no matter how much they wish everyone could get along, it just won't happen. A socialist world would only work if everyone thought and acted the same, which we don't. We all have different opinions on what is right and wrong and thus we do not think alike but in some common ways.
In a socialist world we would have to ban religion, sports, television, movies, art, music, and opinions in general. I brought this point up with a socialist once and he said that was stupid and absurd and that there would be no reason to do such a thing. Let me tell you, I am from Gainesville, Florida home of the Florida Gators and our rival is Florida State. When the two teams play eachother the fans become like soldiers with their team being the general.
The same applies for everything and thus hatred is born. It is IMPOSSIBLE to live in a nation without segregation, hate, and death no matter how much you would like to think differently.
As I also mentioned they think everyone should be given the same amount of personal belongings as the next person and health care should be given to everyone. Granted I agree with the latter statement I also realize that if we have six and a half billion healthy people walking around this world and no one dies off, the next generation is going to be huge and the following generation will be larger and keep in mind you still have the original six and a half billion people on the planet too. The world would fill up fast. The socialist solution to this is to move to other planets. Yeah great so we destroy the galaxy so we can keep growing in numbers instead of moderating our birth habits.
The socialists like to think they have the problems of the world solved but the fact is their method is just as destructive and they don't even realize it. So I ask that we stop acknowledging Socialism as a form of goverment as all it is is a sublime. It's a beautiful idea but deadly at the same time and just not practical. Please sign this petition to end the socialist movement.
Ever since the revolution in 1979, the women of Iran have been treated unfairly. Their lives are almost completely ruled by the men who almost always make the decisions for them. Many new laws that were made in the revolution promote discrimination against women. An example of such a law is stated in Article 201; "During stoning, a man is put in a hole up to his waist and a woman up to her chest." The law provides that if a person who is to be stoned manages to escape, he or she will be allowed to go free. Since it is easier for a man to escape, this discrimination is literally a matter of life and death. Help stop such discrimination against women and sign our petition; it is a matter of life and death.
141. John Maloney Deserves A New Trial
April 9, 2001
John Maloney was wrongfully convicted of killing his wife in 1999. There is compelling evidence that her death was accidental and no crime was committed in the first place. Unfortunately, neither the jury nor the judge heard this evidence.
John Maloney's lawyer had a movie deal in his pocket, so he deliberately ignored and suppressed this evidence in order to follow the script of the movie.
John Maloney sits in prison to promote the careers of the prosecutor and his own lawyer. This petition will be used for two purposes: to gain public support over the Internet and elsewhere, and to specifically request the same judge who sentenced him--and who was denied full information--to give him 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 and throughout the country.
