On April 22, 2006 Katie DiSessa and her unborn son James David Rousseau Jr. were killed by a drunk driver. I am starting a petition to get some of the DUI laws changed. Laws NEED TO BE tougher. People are getting away with far too much these days when it comes to DUI\'s. We are still looking into the exact terms and conditions under Katie\'s Law, but all I can say is that it will not allow drunk drivers in the state of MA, or any state for that matter, get away with as much. It has been over a year and there is STILL no justice in the case. I am sick of judges sitting around twiddling thier thumbs and waiting forever to give punishment to someone being charged with manslaughter, and then when they do give a punishment, its not nearly enough AT ALL. I will be sending this petition, a long with a final proposal for \"Katie\'s Law\" to the governors office.
I really thought this might just fade away but the energy lately is honestly overwhelming because people actually care about getting real justice now. It makes me think about Katie and little James every time I open the app and see these messages coming in from everywhere. This is happening because of all of you and that really gives me the push I need to keep fighting those judges who just sit there doing nothing.

I see the numbers creeping up toward that hundred mark and it honestly feels like we are finally starting to get some real momentum behind this thing because people are actually starting to pay attention. If you could just blast this out to everyone you know right now maybe we can actually hit that goal before the day is over and really make them look at us.

sanctuary city MAYORS and JUDGES (not to mention the local POLCE) are directly RESPONSIBLE and have blood on their hands........the FEDERAL TOP COP is also to blame for not protecting KATE and thousands like her in the last 30 years of a catch and release policy on our southern boarder........this has got to STOP.

Too many people getting off with a slap on the wrist. My cousin was hit by a drunk driver last year and the guy never even saw jail time. Sickening.
