I firmly believe that the only way that laws to do with violent child sex offenders are ever going to change is for us citizens to stand up...united...and say ENOUGH!
What these politicians don't understand is that they are ELECTED OFFICIALS. They work for us. If they don't want to help clean this world up there is always another politician waiting in the wings...anxious to get in that door.
This week I have made it my mission to contact every Senator, Congressperson, and Representative in my state...Washington. I have sent each a letter giving my views and why I feel the way that I feel. It is blunt and to the point. Not rude but I didn't pussy foot around. In my letter I talk about passing "Jessica's Law." The need to take the power back from judges who care more about the violent sex offenders then they care about our children. To take the power back from the Department of Corrections who often recommend a child rapist, child molester, etc, be released early because it can't be PROVEN that they will re-offend even through the Department of Corrections gives them the label of a Level III offender when they leave prison....the worst of the worst....most certain to re-offend!
I have talked to some of the politicians in my area and have been told....make sure that you contact our Democrats as it has been the democrats who refuse to vote for change. I'm neither Republician or Democrat...I vote for the person who has the ideals I'm looking for...not if they have a (R) or a (D) behind their name. Anyway, I found that interesting. I wasn't given any names or anything but I've contacted every (R) and every (D).
Today I received a letter from one of our Senators and felt like she kind of circled the subject. I guess politicians are good at that. I don't think that she will vote for tougher laws like "Jessica's Law." She seems to think we are doing just fine!
For the life of me I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to toughen up the laws for these violent child sex offenders. What will it take...their kid or grandkid getting violently raped, molested, or what?
I feel like most of you...I don't give a chit about these perverts rights. Why should they have even one right in this world. Damage a child and you are out of here...is the way it should be. Someone mentioned a tatoo on the forehead that says "I'm a violent sex offender"...that should come IF they are let out after the first offense...that would be great. I can think of so many things we could do if it weren't for these soft hearted judges and politicians who care more about the offenders then they do about our children.
Change only comes through citizens uniting together and speaking up. Are we fed up enough to stand together and let these people who make the decisions that have to do with our lives and the lives of our families know that we have had it with their lax laws and the way they pamper these perverts? Are we ready to inform them that THEY WORK FOR US? Until this happens I don't foresee anything changing. We can grumble among ourselves but that won't bring about change. So far there are 3 states that are tough on violent sex offenders. 3 states out of the whole USA...unbelievable. I know my state isn't one of them. Check out the map on

I'll get off of my soap box now but it is the truth. We need to flood our congress and senate and representatives with letters and emails. They need to hear our feelings from our own mouths and they need to be reminded that they work for us and they can be replaced during the next election. They need to start putting our children first and come to realize that children aren't second class citizens. They were hired to do a job...start doing it!
