    Petition to Governor Rick Snyder

    Stop bargains for sex offenders

    I want to change Michigan Law when it comes to sex offenders. It’s should be changed so sex offenders whom unlawfully penetrate their victims do not receive a plea bargain. No plea bargain should be offered for testimony when DNA evidence is present. To do so is an injustice to the victim.

    Petition to Prosecuting Attorney:

    PLEASE send a message to Saginaw County’s Prosecuting Attorney to let them know plea bargains for REPEATED ANIMAL TORTURE are NOT ACCEPTABLE!

    PROSECUTORS OFFER PLEA BARGAIN FOR REPEATED ANIMAL TORTURE On May 18, 2011, in Saginaw, MI, Randy DeJarnette repeatedly punched a 15-month-old, 6lb cat in the face and broke both of her rear legs. The cat and her feline housemate were removed from the home of DeJarnette’s girlfriend (who was also beaten) with the assistance of the Saginaw County Sheriff’s Department. Radiographs of the cat revealed 11 fractures, ALL at different stages of healing indicating that the cat had been tortured on MULTIPLE occasions during the 9 months she lived with the couple. DeJarnette fled Saginaw County with the assistance of his girlfriend to avoid arrest. On March 9, 2015 Saginaw County Prosecutors offered DeJarnette a plea bargain and reduced charges to Domestic Violence, 2nd Offense and Animal Abandonment/Abuse. He will be sentenced April 14, 2015.

    Petition to Clark County District Attorney, Steven Wolfson, James O'Neill, Las Vegas Clark County Police Comissioner

    Justice for Nehemiah, NO PLEA BARGAINS for CAREER CRIMINAL Shane Valentine!

    For the safety of Las Vegas, Southern California & Every other Community, Do Not allow this Convicted Repeat Offending Felon out of Prison - No Plea Deals!  Today is my Nephew Nehemiah Kauffman's 21st birthday, only he is not here on God's green Earth with us to celebrate. Exacy 1 year ago today, on Nehemiah's 20th birthday Shane Valentine drove over to my Mother & Sister's home, in a gated community & shot a gun into their home, through rocks at the windows, slammed his car into their garage door while yelling out things like "Neo you're dead" & various other threats.  "Neo" is a nickname my Nephew Nehemiah was known by with friends in Vegas.  Shane had threatened Nehemiah & his girlfriend Sydney previously & was there at our Family's home to follow through on his threats & harm Nehemiah.  This career criminal, Convicted Felon was out on bail for previous crimes during this time, commiting this crime & clearly violating any bond agreements.  The police were called but only a report was taken & filed. There was not any evidentiary collection or bullet retrieval from my Sister's room or attic at this time. My Sister was home when this happened & Thankfully was not hurt.  About 2 weeks or so later, on 10/27/16 shortly after noon we recieved the call no Parent, Grandmother, Aunt, Uncle or Sibling ever want to receive  - that Our Beloved Nehemiah & his Beautiful Girlfriend Sydney had been found murdered in their apartment.   It wasn't until after their horrific murders that the Police/Detectives came back for the important evidence from the threatening incident on 10/8/16, Nehemiah's 20th birthday.  After their devastating deaths we found out that Shane Valentine had been texting & messaging Nehemiah & Sydney death threats. There were other reports of a couple of Nehemiah & Sydney's friends also being threatened by Shane at the same time as them. This friend supposedly "disrespected" Shane, and Shane does not "allow" this.  These two young adults, Nehemiah & Sydney lived in fear of their safety as he repeatedly sent them threats that he was going to kill them.  He was out on bond .....  If Shane had been picked up on or around 10/8/16 for shooting into my family's home & crashing his car into the garage door - his bond should have been revoked as I'm sure he was not supposed to be in posession of any fire arms durring - maybe we could have saved Nehemiah & Sydney from this Convicted Felon.  WE CAN DO SOMETHING NOW, WE CAN SAVE OTHERS FROM HIS CRIMINAL TIRADE! We can Honor Nehemiah & Sydney by keeping Shane Valentine OFF THE STREETS. Shane is currently in High Desert State Prison for other felony convictions, as he is & continues to be a repeat offender.  On 10/11/17 the DA is supposed to be offering a deal to Shane for his crimes. We need to keep Shane Valentine behind bars for as long as possible. He deserve no less than LIFE IN PRISON. There is a community in Las Vegas that knows & has information on the double homicide of Nehemiah  & Sydney in their own apartment, those who were closest to them can help. Put yourself in their shoes - Wouldn't they help if it were You, Would they ever turn their backs on You, Would they take part in or be a part of Your Demise?  NEVER! We still have accomplices to find as well, we will, those of You involved in their MURDERS will Not have Peace. If You're a Good Human Being & You have info You Know What To Do.  PLEASE SIGN THIS PETIOTION TO HELP KEEP THIS CONVICTED FELON Shane Valentine OFF THE STREETS & AWAY FROM OTHERS. HOPEFULLY SOON THEY'LL BE ADDING  CONVICTED MURDERER TO HIS LONG RAP SHEET. If interested look up his Rap Sheet. There are videos of his home invasion/armed robbery - was on the news. Some of his Rap Sheet info that has been shared on the news & elsewhere (can also be looked up): Burglary, armed robery, home invasion, Pimping young ladies, domestic violence, Drug dealing, etc.  There is a lot more info & remember he should at least have attempted murder & endangerment for each person in the house when he shot into & drove into my Family's home on 10/8/16. PLEASE SIGN & SHARE EVERYWHERE, TIME IS CRUCIAL.  ALSO if you have resources, ideas or help to offer Please Message Me. I am open to trying everything (legal) to ensure Justice reigns. We will not give up on Justice for Nehemiah & Sydney.  Thank You.

    Petition to True progressives

    AOC and the Squad: Endorse Bernie Now! No careerism! No bargains with the Devil! ~Share!!!

    Krystal Ball (The Hill--Rising) is asking on behalf of many: "Why hasn't AOC endorsed Bernie?" Watch this clip to hear Krystal's take: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WAnDa0ceqI "Every tool of compliance and coercion is leveraged by leadership, by the influence peddlers, and by career staffers to force you to conform to the proper civility, decorum, and deference to your superiors. The supposedly sacrosanct ways of Washington are forced upon you--and it is all total and utter bullshit. Speaker Pelosi with her gavel has a certain kind of power, but the commander of a grass roots army? Now that's real power!" ~Krystal Ball Dear squad: Please don't get caught in the crossfire. You've already waited far too long for many of your true and faithful progressive soldiers. Don't pull an Elizabeth Warren. Your bona fides are at stake. You can't have it both ways. That's what careerists try to do. Either lead, follow, or get out of the way. Time won't wait.

    Trust and fairness in the Federal System. Issues with plea bargains and sentencing

        I have wrote this letter a number of times.  This is not my expertise. I'm just a housewife, mother, grandmother and citizen of the United States with real life issues pertaining to our FEDERAL JUDICIAL SYSTEM.  I have called and written many people/agencies to be of course sent elsewhere. No one wants to confront the Federal System.  Everyone complains about the prominent issues that need to be resolved. Yet nothing is done. Everyone is scared to approach and persue.  I might add " I AM ALSO "!!!! Only my need for justice and fairness for us all is overpowering.  I have to beleive there is away to get these issues looked at and resolved. If it was just my families situation, then I couldn't persue this or request your support.   As I've researched and listened to others as well as my families personal recent experience, I've come to see. It Isn't just us.  This has and continues to happen to many of us. When I say us,  I mean " AMERICANS " with no means to fight back. Not because we have don't have a legitament cause but do to no funding for representation. Legal fees are outrageous on the State level. As far as Federal it's totally out of reach for most everyone. Specifically working class like us.        So, they appoint you legal council, if you can't afford one.  Okay GREAT... Not notsnot great if that counselor is not a criminal attorney experienced in the issues in that case. Has no clue in criminal matters let alone drug and consperacy charges.   So at this point your scared, being pressured to plea bargain ( meaning take what they say or suffer the consequences) your lawyer says take the so called deal or you will do 20 to life. Now mind you our lawyer has already stated " he was in way over his head ", not to mention every question we had he had to look up in law books to answer... What do you do? Me I call the Judges clerk and try to explain the situation. She cuts me off and says " that we have to go through the attorney on the case to resolve ". The attorney says " let finish out this portion of it so there is grounds for an appeal ".     After that we were bullied, pressured and scared.  Every question or issue we had was answered with " nothing you can do about it, that's just the way it works or it doesn't matter " !!!!! Okay another issue is, this PSR- PRESENTENCING REPORT.  Once again any objection we had was ignored. Our lawyer said " they didn't matter that the JUDGE wasn't going to use any of that for the sentencing " Okay then my question was then why is it in the report? Excuse me, I may not be a lawyer and know nothing about the federal law....  But people I have common sense like most of you do and in God's name how could it not make a difference? This PSR is the report the Judge is going to use to decide who you are and what your punishment will be.   Now you cannot tell me that if he reads only negative things ( confirmed or unconfirmed ) along with juvenile assault charges ( all three arrests were for the same assault charge ) all dropped and non confirmed, a CPS statement ( unconfirmed ), etc.  All of whom make it sound like this defendant is not worthy of any leniency or consideration of any sort... When the facts are the three assault charges were one in the same and dropped. This shouldn't have even been in the PSR since unconfirmed. IN Fact the defendant was a good student. Graduated early with a scholarship. Then there is a charge for carrying brass knuckles. He pled guilty cause he did have them on him ( not as a weapon but to weld them on his bike for decorations ). Regardless done 1 year deferred adj. Probation - COMPLETED with no issues. Then CPS makes false accusations about hitting his son in the mouth, busting his lip. And always losing his temper and threatening him. Also said the defendant had a history of doing drugs. One drug test came back positive over a 1 year time frame.        My point is this report is crucial and must be totally accurate, anything on this report must be confirmed. TO BE FAIR AS OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO BE.... 1. There should be positive points reported. Specially CONFIRMED ones. Like a letter of commendation for saving a life. Confirmed 2. The fact that so many people showed up not for one hearing but two hearings that their wasn't enough room in the court room. Now you tell me who takes off from work or cancels their on day to go to court supporting a low life criminal??? 3. Showing why the defendant RESIGNED from being a police officer. NOT TERMINATED OR FIRED.... 4. That CPS had closed any case against him concerning HIS children with no finding of abuse or neglect. 5. There is no confirmation of any negative issues in this report nor is there any mention of positive ones that are confirmed. Now, how can none of this not matter? I can see why the Judge sentenced him to 108 months in BOP by the PSR he was given along with Federal agents and the prosecutor telling only what they wanted him to hear.  If all of the above had of been done with physical evidence and not hear say form other defendants. Or holding the fact of being ex law enforcement against him. Then their input would have been accurate. Each and every defendent should be charged and sentenced on their on merits or demerits that are confirmed. NOT HEAR SAY!!! We are told it's not personal. The agents and prosecutors are only doing there jobs. I beg the differ with you. It may not be personal to them buts it's the defendants life!!!   As well as his families.. These agents and prosecutors will do  and say whatever it takes to make their case. They do just that!!!   If you  have money, influence or a snitch then they'll do their jobs correctly. By handling the evidence ( discovery PKG ), the PSR and all pertinent information negative and positive actions that the defendent has taken. EVERY defendant deserves to be treated the same. Given the same sentence for the same charge,  the information in the PSR MUST BE CONFIRMED, the assigned attorney must be experienced in defending the charges at hand and last but not least the right to make choices concerning these charges without being pressured, bullied or scared into taking the plea the prosecutor is offering. We are talking about peoples lives and families. We aren't talking about probation or even a couple of years in prison. We are talking about years and years, even life being locked away from your children and family for non violent, victimless crimes. How does a person have trust, respect and Faith in a justice system that works like this? If we the people of the UNITED STATES have no trust/respect and fear our own legal system then we are a broken country. I beleive most of us do not trust  or rely on our legal system to be fair and honest. No one wants to step up til someone gets killed and the riots start.  Then the real issues get clouded with violence. America still belongs to us the people not the government.   Please take time to review these issues and support me in fixing broke America.
