Improving U.S. Human Rights Practices for Citizens and Non-Citizens

Created by N.B. on January 13, 2013

I feel some of the practices of the U.S. government are in violation of human rights. I define human rights as it is defined in the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" and written in the U.S. Constitution. I would like you to tell me if these violations are occurring. If they are occurring, tell me why you think these are somehow "justified". Also, tell me if you are willing to stop these violations and how. (See list of violations below.)
For fellow petitioners, I would like you to agree that at least two of these violations are issues Obama should be willing to stop and/or create an open discussion to reduce any of these possible violations.
List:
Extrajudicial Assassinations
Guantanamo Bay Prison
FBI Terrorist Stings
Extrajudicial Drone Strikes
Torture
Non-Government Owned Prisons

Criminal Justice Reform
Homeland Security & Defense
Civil Rights & Equality
