Reform the 1994 Crime Bill for Fairer Sentencing

Reform the 1994 Crime Bill for Fairer Sentencing

The Issue

Hello, my name is Mary Perry. I have a brother named Robert Lee Perry, who is serving LIFE in prison for drug charges because of a bill that was passed in 1994, largely pushed by then-Senator Joe Biden, now President Joe Biden and 2024 Presidential Candidate. I understand and agree with the principle that if you do the crime, you do the time. But is LIFE really the appropriate sentence for a Brother, Son, Father, Grandfather when murderers often receive only 20 years? We need this law changed to ensure fairer sentencing. Can Americans help me push for this bill to be reformed? Please sign this petition.
