60: PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!

PLEASE READ! :)
PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!
Help stop child abuse with passing of Senate Bill 1738!

 
Everyday, more and more sexual predators are abusing children, videotaping it, and actually trading these videos online. Yes, people are really this sick. And they are now abusing children as young as 3 weeks old. This issue is so so so important and right now, we don't have the funds to stop it! AND IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED! But we can help by encouraging our senators to pass Senate Bill 1738! The bill goes into voting soon though, so we have to email/contact them as soon as possible.

Oprah has recently done an episode with information all about this, if you haven't seen it... its awful. The people you least expect are the ones who are raping not only their own children but others too. People have TUTORIALS on how to rape children of different ages. They have videos they pass around like trading cards and pictures saved on their computers. And worse, LIVE streamings of child abuse. And the worst part is, many are getting away with this... way too many. These fuckers are so messed up and are still out there. And that is not okay with me.

So I thought what a better way to get this message around then on livejournal. It honestly takes only about 3 minutes, just copy and paste the form and send an email to your senators of whatever US state you live in. If you have any questions ask me, but Oprah has it pretty easily set up on her site and the directions shouldn't be too hard to follow. Please pass this on to your friends, your family, and PROMOTE THIS ENTRY IN JOURNALS! We have to get as many people as we can to express the importance of this issue, we can save children from being molested, killed, and most importantly find these asswholes who are pulling this crap. 

Here is where to find the forms and after, go to www.senate.gov and email YOUR STATES senators!

Thank you! And please comment if you email your senators, I want to thank you personally. I myself have never known anyone who's had to go through anything like child abuse but I've been against this issue for a while (if you are not against this, please go diaf, i'm completely serious) and now that we have the chance to help... it has just made me even more concerned for the children out there who are molested, raped, and sometimes killed... its just SO messed up and I don't know how people can do this. I just don't know where in their heads that they see this okay, because its not and its just people are fucking screwed up. Thats all I can say. I've already emailed my senators and I actually got reply back that I really appreciated from Senator Lieberman, whether it was a default email or not... and on Monday I'm passing out bracelets and encouraging students and parents to go home and click for kids.

PROMOTE THIS EVERYWHERE.

- Authorize over $320 million over the next five years in desperately needed funding for law enforcement to investigate child exploitation.
- Mandate that child rescue be a top priority for law enforcement receiving federal funding.
- Allocate funds for high-tech computer software that can track down Internet predators.

Can I just say I love you for doing this? I watched the Oprah show and was in tears. I almost threw up and I'm dead serious about that. This is disgusting, these people are despicable, and this bill needs to be passed. I emailed my Senators just a few hours ago but I am going to link to this post from my journal as well as my graphics community and if you don't mind I would really like to email the link to my mom and have her send it to her contacts but I won't do that if you're not comfortable. I feel so strongly about this, the fact that so many of them get away with this unpunished makes me so incredibly sick.

Thank you so much for commenting! And thanks, I feel so strongly about this too. I watched Oprah in class today and I was crying the entire time. It's just so awful... I just I can't even explain... And thanks for pimping! I want to get this around as much as possible.

And thats okay if you email her the link (if you don't think she would mind the language)! Or you can just copy and paste the entry... I just don't want anybody to go through my info or anything. :)

I think it's great that you're doing this and I absolutely agree with what you've said. What those people do is really sick and knowing as much as I do about them has disgusted me for a long, long time.

I'm going to e-mail the senator for my state once Oprah's website starts working again... it says it's temporarily unavailable. :(

Sent an e-mail to both my state's senators. :)

So, I got a reply back from Senator Reid (NV) and he added this saying that S.1738 was just passed by the senate just two days ago:

I am pleased to inform you that S.1738 passed the Senate by unanimous consent on September 26, 2008. As part of this effort, we were able to pass three additional bills which will assist law enforcement's efforts to investigate and prosecute people trafficking in child pornography: the SAFE Act of 2007, which places a higher standard on internet service providers to report child pornography websites; and the Effective Child Pornography Prosecution Act and the Enhancing the Effective Prosecution of Child Pornography Act, both of which allow for more effective prosecution of individuals possessing and viewing child pornography by closing legal loopholes. These bills have been referred to the House of Representatives for approval.

I'm not sure if you already knew this but I thought I'd let you know! :)

I'm so proud of you for doing this. It's definitely a topic that needs to be handled right away. Kids are suffering because of sick, sick people and it needs to stop.

Sadie, definitely doing this. I haven't checked my LJ in a few days or I would have done it the second I'd seen it, and I'm emailing my senators. I'm also going to send this out as a personal email to my family and friends. Trust me, there's nothing more devastating. This bill needs to be passed. Thanks again ♥
