We are a non-partisan organization. We make this recommendation after months of discussion about our guiding values of equity, intentional dialogue, and advocacy, and from the feedback of people who are in need in Wilsonville.

Please join us in communicating your support of this message to the Wilsonville Mayor and City Council, as they consider action on an Equitable Housing Strategic Plan at their June 15th meeting.

To me it is a tight bid because it is a reason for the company Shell to survive when Saudi kingdom has finished its reserves.

MBS is an odd ball. He can go where he wants. Does his "poverty" (highness for a stitch "in time saves nine") like Ivanka? He can buy the Jesus portrait all he wants but where does he figure?

We all heard the news that Muhammad bin Salman the crown prince of Saudi Arab imprisoned aka harassed 12 other influential princes on trumped up charges. Donald Trump is seen in Middle East a lot these days. The prince alleges corruption. Prince Talal doesn't even invest in a stock if it debases God in any way and is a god fearing man. I was on his Twitter page when he was a free person and noticed him praying even in skiing. Unfortunately Muslim ummah touts their own image when for instance the self detractor buys a painting or allows cinemas. They do not care for blood shed. A story. Please sign this petition and first of all know your place in the new order. Prince Talal is the vanguard of the new forces. Not U.S. Not Israel. We plan to present this petition to President Vladimir Putin as soon as we get 100,000 signatures. Prince Al Waleed's business is not a rocking horse. It is in the news. He needs to be in charge.

Industrialmente, a cannabis serve para produção de tecidos, papel e combustível. Como já foi dito antes,sua fibra é muito resistente.

Apesar de causar dependência psicológica, a OMS(Organização Mundial de Saúde) que a cannabis causa menos dependência que o tabaco ou o álcool.O usuário cria o hábito de fumar, mas não se torna um dependente químico da planta.

Em países onde a cannabis é legalizada(Ex:Portugal e Holanda) é estatísticamente comprovado que o número de violência urbana foi reduzido após sua legalização. Problema esse que tanto atinge ao Brasil.

It is therefore of fundamental importance that the passport, as a representative identification document, does not misrepresent the identity of the person.

It is not currently possible to obtain a United Kingdom passport that is non gender-specific. All passports issued by the UK passport authority – The Identity and Passport Service – include a character to indicate the sex of the passport holder – either ‘M’ or ‘F’. It is possible for gendered trans* people to apply for a UK passport that records the gender rather than the natal sex but it is not currently possible to obtain a passport that contains no reference of gendered identity.

Non-gendered people in the UK are forced to declare as gendered when applying for a passport and forced to present an identification document that misrepresents the core identity when travelling through international border control, and on a number of other occasions where proof of identity is required.

The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) defines ‘sex’ as a mandatory data element for the machine readable travel document as specified in ICAO Document 9303. Contained in this document are three permitted characters under ‘sex’: The permitted characters are ‘F’ (female),’ M’ (male) and ‘X’ (unspecified).

The respective governments of Australia and New Zealand operate a policy where it is possible for citizens to obtain a non gender-specific ‘X’ passport in circumstances where gendered options ‘M’ and ‘F’ are not appropriate. The governing authorities of India, Nepal and Pakistan have also recognised the legitimacy of ‘X’ as a preferred option when ‘M’ and ‘F’ are not appropriate.

While there is no international obligation upon the United Kingdom authorities to issue ‘X’ passports, there is a requirement that border agencies of all nations should recognise the ‘X’ passport as a valid travel document (in compliance with ICAO standards for machine readable travel documents) when an ‘X’ passport is presented at international border control by a visitor entering the country.

As a person of non-gendered identity, inappropriate gendered references on my personal identity documentation make me feel compromised and diminished.

The Identity and Passport Service are currently undertaking a review of existing policy as part of a government action plan on trans* equality. The review is due to conclude in February 2013 when the IPS will present recommended proposals to the government. The IPS has not invited stakeholder participation as part of their review and neither has there been any engagement with stakeholders.

I call upon the IPS and the government to amend a discriminatory policy that denies non-gendered people a legitimate identity. I call upon the IPS and the government to make the non gender-specific ‘X’ passport available to all United Kingdom passport holders for whom gendered identification is not appropriate.

23/04/2013 ADDENDUM: THIS PETITION WAS PRESENTED TO THE IDENTITY AND PASSPORT SERVICE (IPS) IN JANUARY 2013. THE IPS ACKNOWLEDGED RECEIPT OF THE PETITION BUT DID NOT COMMUNICATE FURTHER. THE IPS 'REVIEW' ON 'X' PASSPORTS CONCLUDED IN FEBRUARY BUT OUTCOME WAS NOT PUBLISHED OR MADE KNOWN TO STAKEHOLDERS. A LETTER FROM THE PETITION AUTHOR'S PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATIVE WAS SENT TO IPS IN FEBRUARY AND NOT RESPONDED TO UNTIL APRIL (IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO DEPARTURE OF SARAH RAPSON, IPS CHIEF EXECUTIVE WHO LED THE 'REVIEW').

THE OUTCOME WAS NEGATIVE AS THE IPS CATEGORICALLY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY REJECTED PROPOSALS FOR 'X' PASSPORTS IN THE UK. FURTHERMORE, IT HAS BECOME VERY CLEAR THE IPS REVIEW PROCESS WAS A SHAM.

THEREFORE THIS PETITION WILL REMAIN ACTIVE UNTIL SUCH TIME THE UNITED KINGDOM GOVERNMENT OVERTURNS A DISGRACEFUL AND DISCRIMINATORY DECISION AND SETS IN PLACE A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS 'X' PASSPORTS TO BE ISSUED TO UK PASSPORT HOLDERS WHO DESPERATELY NEED IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTATION THAT AFFIRMS RATHER THAN MISREPRESENTS THEIR IDENTITY.

FURTHER ADDENDUM: THE IDENTITY AND PASSPORT SERVICE HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN RENAMED AS HM PASSPORT OFFICE.

GREAT NEWS THAT THE DEATH SENTENCE HAS BEEN OVERTURNED, HIS LIFE IS SAFE FOR NOW. HOWEVER NOW NASER HAS REDUCED SENTENCE OF 12 YEARS FOR DOING NOTHING WRONG. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SIGN AGAINST HIS IMPRISONMENT!

Naser Abdolhosseini is 22 years old and, according to his family, does not have a political history. He comes from a working class family from southern Tehran and was self employed prior to his arrest. On Saturday- Oct 10, 2009, the public relations office of the Tehran justice department announced that Abdolhosseini has been sentenced to death.

In an interview with his brothers Mojtaba and Nader, they say their brother was deceived into making false confessions.

Mojtaba said: "My brother was told that if he made [false] televised confessions, his sentence would be reduced. They told him televised confessions would reduce his prison term and he would be released before the end of his term. They deceived him into making televised confessions, but contrary to what he was promised, they sentenced him to death. They took advantage of Naser and played with his life."

"The phone conversation recording that was introduced as evidence during the hearing is a forged tape. My brother never had a phone conversation or contact with the person (Zohreh) on the recording. This is not true at all. In the recording that was broadcasted by the IRIB, Zohreh asks my brother to cause arson by using a Molotov cocktail. My brother can’t even pronounce the word Molotov cocktail. During the hearing he mispronounced the word. Tell me how could have he been involved in doing such things?"

Naser Abdolhosseini has been accused of having ties to the Mojahedin-e-Khalgh organization (MKO), something that both his brothers deny.

"My brother was arrested on June 26th. We used to work together as salesmen. Our job was to sell auto parts in other cities. Naser has no history of political activity. He had never been arrested before.”

Nader, Naser’s other brother added:

“When they arrested my brother they did not show us any incriminating evidence. They did not have any evidence against him and could not find any when they searched the house. My brother does not even have a high school diploma. He does not own a computer or an email address. How could he have sent information outside Iran as it is alleged? My brother comes from a working class family in southern Tehran. Nobody in our family or among our relatives has ever been involved in politics.”

Naser Abdolhosseini, who was tried for taking part in post election riots, has been found guilty of the charge and was sentenced to death. However, he was not in Tehran at the time of the protests and was doing his job in another city. His brother, Nader, talked about his brother’s involvement in the post election protests:

“The allegations that my brother took part in the protest are completely unfounded. Prior to his arrest on June 26th, he had been doing his job as an auto parts salesman in the southern city of Bushehr. The night they came to arrest him, he had just returned from his business trip and was so tired that he had not even changed.”

The two brothers have a lot of objections to the trial and the way the court appointed lawyer handled their brother’s case. Mojtaba said:

“During the trial the court appointed lawyer did not defend my brother. He has only contacted my brother twice and has done nothing for his case."

برادران ناصرعبدالحسینی: سو استفاده از برادر بیگناهمان منجر به صدور حکم اعدام شد

ناصر عبدالحسینی از بازداشت‌شده‌گان حوادث بعد از انتخابات و معترفان در دادگاه‌‌های نمایشی است که روز شنبه حکم اعدام در مورد وی توسط روابط عمومی دادگستری استان تهران اعلام شد.

ناصر عبدالحسینی جوانی است 22 ساله که به گفته‌ی خانواده‌ی خود هیچ سابقه و فعالیت سیاسی نداشته است. وی از یک خانواده‌ی جنوب شهری تهران است که شغل آزاد دارد؛ درباره‌ی حکم اعدام وی و چه‌گونه‌گی این اعدام با دو برادر وی به نام‌های مجتبی و نادر عبدالحسینی به گفت‌وگو نشستم که در ادامه می‌خوانید.

از مجتبی عبدالحسینی در مورد چه‌گونه‌گی صدور این حکم سوال می‌کنم، وی با تاسف و نگرانی می‌گوید « به برادر من گفته بودند که بیا و در اعتراف‌های تلویزیونی شرکت کن تا حکم‌ات را کم‌تر کنیم. به او گفته بودند اگر قرار است حکم حبس داشته باشی، با این اعتراف‌های تلویزیونی خیلی زودتر از آن افرادی که اعتراف نمی‌کنند آزاد خواهی شد. به این طریق برادر مرا به تلویزیون کشیده‌اند اما جریان برعکس شده و برای او حکم اعدام صادر کرده‌اند. از ناصر سواستفاده کرده‌اند، سو استفاده‌یی که منجر به بازی کردن با زنده‌گی وی شده است.»

از وی سوال می‌کنم که در این مورد که وی قرار است این‌چنین اعترافاتی بکند خبر داشته‌اید یا خیر؟

«ما اصلا از این‌که قرار است برادرم اعتراف تلویزونی داشته باشد خبری نداشتیم و فقط وقتی بعد از دو هفته به ملاقات‌اش رفتیم، متوجه شدیم که به او گفته‌اند اعتراف کن تا زودتر آزاد شوی.» وی ادامه می‌دهد «صدایی که به عنوان زهره پخش شده که آن را در تماس تلفنی با برادر من عنوان کرده‌اند، واقعیت ندارد، این یک صدای ضبط شده است و برادر من هیچ‌گونه ارتباطی با آن شخص ندارد. چنین چیزی به هیچ وجه صحت ندارد. در صدای پخش شده از تلویزیون جمهوری اسلامی، گویا خانم زهره از برادر من می‌خواهد که آتش‌سوزی به راه بیاندازد و از کوکتل مولوتوف استفاده کند، این در حالی است که برادر من حتا نمی‌تواند کوکتل مولوتوف را تلفظ کند و در دادگاه هم اشتباه آن‌را تلفظ می‌کند. حالا برادر من چه‌گونه چنین کارهایی می‌تواند بکند.»

ناصر عبدالحسینی متهم است که در سازمان مجاهدین خلق عضویت داشته است، اما این مساله را هر دو برادر وی رد می‌کنند.

از آن‌ها در مورد چه‌گونه‌گی بازداشت وی و این‌که آیا در اعتراض‌های مدنی بعد از انتخابات حضور داشته است یا خیر سوال می‌کنم. مجتبی عبدالحسینی پاسخ می‌دهد: « دستگیری برادر من در تاریخ 5 تیرماه بود. ناصر با من کار می‌کرد و در شهرستان‌ها به کار ویزیتوری لوازم یدکی ماشین مشغول بودیم. او هیچ سابقه‌ی سیاسی ندارد و حتا تا کنون یک مورد بازداشت هم نداشته. نادر عبدالحسینی نیز می‌گوید: «زمانی‌که برادرم را بازداشت می‌کردند، هیچ‌گونه سندی در رابطه با جرمی که می‌گفتند مرتکب شده، به ما نشان ندادند و هیچ مدرکی نداشتند، از منزل ما هیچ مدرکی پیدا نکردند. برادر من حتا دیپلم هم ندارد، نه کامپیوتر دارد و نه حتا یک آدرس ایمیل، پس چه‌طور می‌توانسته به قول اینها اطلاعات را به خارج از کشور بفرستد؟ برادر من یک بچه‌ی جنوب شهری است که نه پدر و مادر و نه هیچ‌یک از افراد فامیل‌اش سیاسی نبودند.»

ناصر عبدالحسینی به اتهام شرکت در «اغتشاشات» محاکمه و سرانجام به اعدام محکوم شده است، این در حالی است که وی با توجه به شغل‌اش خارج از تهران بوده است، نادر برادر وی در مورد حضور ناصر در اعتراض‌های مدنی مردم ایران بعد از 22 خرداد می‌گوید: «عنوان شده که او در جریان‌ اعتراض‌های پس از انتخابات حضور داشته، ولی به هیچ‌عنوان این‌گونه نبود، یکی دو هفته قبل از پنج تیرماه که او را دستگیر کردند، او در شهرستان بوشهر بود و مشغول فروش قطعات یدکی ماشین. نیمه شبی که در منزل ما ریختند و او را بازداشت کردند، او تازه از سفر برگشته بود و حتا از خسته‌گی لباس‌های‌اش را هم از تن‌اش در نیاورده بود.»

دو برادر ناصر عبدالحسینی نسبت به دادگاه و امکان دفاع و نحوه‌ی دفاع وکیل تسخیری برادرشان (احمدی) اعتراض دارند؛ مجتبی در این خصوص به خبرنگار هرانا می‌گوید: «وکیل تسخیری در دادگاه هیچ‌گونه دفاعی از برادر من نکرده است. وکیل‌اش تا کنون فقط دو بار با وی تماس گرفته ولی کار خاصی برای‌اش انجام نداده است.» و نادر ادامه می‌دهد: «دفاعیه‌یی که وکیل تسخیری برادرم در دادگاه برای وی خوانده بود، متاسفانه هیچ اثری نداشته است. کیفر خواست برادر من به هیچ عنوان با واقعیت جور در نمی‌آید. برادر من حتا در حوادث پس از انتخابات هیچ شعاری هم نداده بود چون اصلا در تهران نبود تا بخواهد در تجمع‌ها شرکت کند و در بوشهر هم به دنبال فعالیت اقتصادی خودش بود و آن‌جا هم هیچ‌گونه تجمعی برپا نشده بود. حتا همین وکیل برادرم نیز فکر می‌کرد که او را به زودی آزاد می‌کنند، حتا به من گفته بودند که برای‌اش سند آماده کنم که متاسفانه هم‌اکنون حکم اعدام او صادر شده است.»

تا سه هفته‌ی پیش خانواده‌ی ناصر عبدالحسینی می‌توانستند با او ملاقات کنند، بعد از آن ملاقات فقط برای پدر و مادر وی امکان‌پذیر شده است. وی هم‌اکنون در بند 8 زندان اوین منتقل شده است. از خانواده‌ی عبدالحسینی تنها این دو برادر از حکم اعدام ناصر خبر دارند، آن‌ها هنوز توان این‌که به پدر و مادر و دیگر برادران و خواهران‌شان بگویند که چنین اتفاقی افتاده است را ندارند. پدر و مادر آن‌ها فکر می‌کنند فرزندشان به زودی به خانه بازمی‌گردد!

نادر عبدالحسینی در پایان به خبرنگار هرانا می‌گوید: «من از قوه قضاییه، اطلاعات و نهادهای حقوق‌بشری دعوت می‌کنم که بیایند و وضع زنده‌گی ما را ببینند و از نزدیک با خانواده‌ی ما آشنا بشوند. پدر من مدتی را در جبهه‌های جنگ گذرانده و پنج سال در جماران بوده و الان بازنشسته است و با حقوق بازنشسته‌گی در حال خرجی دادن به خانواده‌ام است. برادر من یک پسر ساده‌لوح است که هیچ فعالیت سیاسی تاکنون نداشته است. یکی از اتهام‌های برادر من محاربه است و برای‌اش حکم اعدام صادر شده، مگر برادر من قتل و جنایت انجام داده است که باید اعدام شود؟ مشی او در زندگی هیچ‌گونه آسیبی تاکنون به هیچکس چه به دولت و یا مردم نزده است.»

و مجتبی عبدالحسنی با صدای غم‌ناک می‌گوید: « ناصر در تماس‌های تلفنی به ما می‌گوید خدایی وجود دارد. من که کار خلافی انجام نداده‌ام، مطمئن هستم اتفاق بدی برای‌ام نمی‌افتد و به ما دل‌داری می‌دهد.» مجتبی در آخر نیز با نامیدی می‌گوید: «هیچ کسی از برادر من دفاع نمی‌کند، حتا وکیل که باید به طور مرتب پی‌گیر پرونده باشد هم هیچ کار جدی انجام نمی‌دهد. در حالی‌که برادر من بی‌گناه است. او کاری نکرده است. او را با وعده‌هایی که برای آزادی داده‌اند، وادار به اعتراف کرده‌اند و برادر ساده‌ی من نیز باور کرده و این کار را کرده است. برادر من بی‌گناه است

There is clear and compelling reason to reassign custody of Tammy Wilson to the State Parole System. Tammy has an impeccable rehabilitation record; she has attended classes, programs and courses too numerous to mention which can be made available upon request. She has obtained her Associates Degree, participated in numerous charity functions, volunteered at every opportunity to help others and participated in the Pilot Puppy Program, a program that allows offenders a year with a puppy to train social skills for a Seeing Eye dog. Tammy’s personal development and rehabilitation demonstrates that she presents no danger to the society.

Her continued incarceration in no way serves the public good. What does it say of our belief in our rehabilitation methods if this individual remains incarcerated after completing all the programs required of her.

Cannabis has documented medicinal value, which was finally and publicly acknowledged on Monday June 21st 2010 when Sativex was licensed for medicinal use for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

The Wootton Report of 1969 has been completely ignored by successive UK governments.

It's time to end the criminalising misery of cannabis prohibition!

SEPTEMBER 3, 2010 - Death threats

"I have received two messages on my Facebook inbox, in the first message, the sender threatened of slaughtering me like sheep being slain! in the second message titled ” an appointment” , the sender says to me : “we shall meet at Elhajeb where murdering you is going to take a place!” Elhajeb, however, 15 km away from my village, is the nearest place which i often go to every now and then! This points out that the terrorist exerted extra efforts to find out my location!"

On September 3, 2010 Kacem El Ghazzali received several very specific death threats in his Facebook inbox as a result of his religious beliefs. Kacem was physically attacked by Islamic fundamentalists in his school because of blog posts and comments he made during an interview with France 24. In the interview, Kacem discussed the struggles he and other atheists in his country face.

Kacem is now unable to attend school, after having been both verbally and physically attacked by his classmates and the school director. On top of this Kacem has been criticized by a local imam at the main mosque in his village and his address is known in broad fundamentalist Islamic circles.

Kacem El Ghazzali now lives in effective isolation, unable to leave his home in fear of his safety. Many of his friends and family members now refrain from speaking to him and he can not ask the authorities for help as Moroccan criminal law article 220 provides for imprisonment of three months to three years for those who attack the faith.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

Kacem El Ghazzali receives a phone call by Mr. Said Benjebli, President of the Moroccan Bloggers' Association MBA. He is asked to withdraw in silence from the association because of what they considered as an article offensive to the prophet Mohammad published Kacem's blog. Kacem refuses to do so - Read full statement from Kacem here: http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?id=100001369945957&s=10#!/note.php?note_id=164487233563906

NOVEMBER 26, 2010

Kacem El Ghazzali receives another message in his Facebook inbox. This time from Hicham Bougrine, president of the ''le sionisme musulman fondamentaliste politique'' movement. He say (among other things):

"God willing, our appointment in the Court, and we have a large trust in the Moroccan judiciary, because what you say about us as Muslims and our religion has exceeded the framework of freedom of expression, but is desperate Moroccans Muslims against us but against the desperate belief that the rule established by the ''Emirate of menin'', skepticism is unacceptable and sinful against the Prince of menin our king God save him"

As you can see, we're running out of time here. They are preparing to drag this boy to court.
