Trayvon Martin`s Parents Speak Out Over Son`s Death

Our son Trayvon Martin was killed because he looked "suspicious." His confessed killer is still free. Join 900,000 people to call on Florida law enforcement officials to prosecute the man who took away our son.

(SANFORD, FL) - Our son didn't deserve to die. Trayvon Martin was just 17 years old when he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman.

Trayvon Miller, and Thoughts about his Death

I understand citizens are allowed to carry guns for self protection in Florida, but the question remains; was Zimmerman acting as a citizen or a predator?

(PASO ROBLES, CA) - Mr. Zimmerman’s remarks made to the dispatcher were nothing more than pure speculation, and as it turned out, he was dead wrong. Every picture I have seen of Trayvon convinces me of that fact.

Half a Million Americans Prepared to Take Down George Zimmerman

No law should be used to cloak racism and murder.

(SALEM) - I have a feeling that the murder/racism suspect George Zimmerman is going down one way or another. This kid that he killed, was just a boy, he wasn't even 18-years old.

Why Trayvon Martin`s Death Should Matter to You

Trayvon Martin RIP As U R Not Alone

What excuses exist for what is taking place over a Black teen's tragic shooting death.

(CLEVELAND) - Trayvon Martin's story leaves Americans reaching for answers- to questions that should never have to be asked. Regional trends dictate the spirit of a community.

Handguns and the Second Amendment

Republicans do not constitute “A well regulated Militia,” and armed individuals alone are not necessary to the security of our free State: the Military, National Guard, FBI, police departments and The Supreme Court have been assigned that role.

(PASO ROBLES, CA) - Hardly a day goes by that we don’t read of another killing and or wounding of family members, or others, by handguns.

In fact in Arizona, it is legal for anyone to carry a gun, and a year ago a deranged man killed several, including a judge and a child, and seriously wounded a Congresswoman.

Hate Crime For Gays But Not Blacks?

Verdicts should be rendered on the aggravated intent of the other, And not based solely on group popularity versus one’s skin color.

(CLEVELAND) - Once again, Americans are challenged to confront needless death in the headlines; alleged crime and apparent lack of crime - conflicts that just fail to make sense.

(RIVERDALE, NY) - My heart goes out to the friends and family of the students of Chardon High School who were shot in the attack by another teenager.
