I think it would be great if sweet, little Somer was the final straw in our country. The one case that finally pushed us to make a difference. We have some very dedicated, intelligent people on this site. Some of us have more time than others but we all care deeply for the rights of women, children and all crime victims. Can we get a thread going to create some real activism to change legislation?
We can all start by investigating whether there are any groups in our respective states already set up to try and change laws. if there aren't any, or the groups existing are ineffectual, we start our own, in our states. We investigate to see if there has been any effort to change laws and if so, why they haven't changed. We out any representatives that vote down effective laws, like one strike. We come up with ways to pay for the new laws. Because that is pivotal:

I was trying to find another link to something I read a few months ago about a couple states, I think Wahington and hawaii?, rejecting lifetime committment of sex offenders due to the cost.
Let's get the ball rolling!
