PLEASE
Take the 2 minutes out of your day to contact your senator on The Protect Our Children Act.
Hundreds of thousands of children are victims of sexual abuse each year. Due to the sheer lack of resources, law enforcement is unable to follow up on the majority of leads they have.
The Protect Our Children Act will ::
- Authorize over $320 million over the next five years in desperately needed funding for law enforcement to investigate child exploitation.
-Mandate that child rescue to be a top priority for law enforcement receiving federal funding.
- Allocate funds for high tech computer software that can track down internet predators.
(The above information is verbatim from the oprah show website)
The internet has created a safe haven and breeding ground for these disgusting criminals; allowing them to post and exchange exploitation of innocent children. Worse than you and I may realize-and they are getting away with torturing not only children, but toddlers and even infants. Do not be ignorant to what we refuse to accept as reality. The law enforcement CAN potentially catch these criminals- unfortunately they are overwhelmed with accounts and do not have the proper funding and manpower to stop them all.
Contact your state senator HERE
Click on the "web form" option below their name and email them to vote YES on 1738-The Protect Our Children Act
These children can not speak for themselves.
It is our responsibility to be their voice, and get them help.
***EDIT
Due to the responses based solely on the opposition of the bill from McCain, and the support of Obama I have disabled the comments. Feel free to email me your thoughts. It is my executive decision to leave them off because of the digressing from the issue and the personal attacks on the basis of it being republican or democratic.
***INFORM YOURSELF
Google, look it up- feel free to read about the bill from all perspectives.
I am not forcing my opinion on anyone, or my standpoint for presidency for that matter.
If you do wish to contact your senators, please do so before September 22nd (monday)
