Offer a Presidential Pardon to Marissa Alexander.

Created by H.P. on July 14, 2013

On May 11, 2012, Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville, Florida was charged with attempted murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing warning shots in her home.

Not long after, Vice President Biden suggested to America that we "...just walk out…and fire two blasts outside the house. I promise you, whoever is coming in is not gonna."

Ms. Alexander fired warning shots, in self defense, and was sentenced to two decades behind bars.

We the people request that the Obama Administration stand by the words of their Vice President.
