Exclamation X Posted Please Read

Hi everyone! In a couple of weeks The Children's Protection Bill 1378 The Protect Our Children Act will be put before the Senate. As parents we need to pull together and stop child predators. This is a bipartisan bill and will allocate Hundreds of millions of dollars to catching and prosecuting pedophiles and child pornographers. HALF the worlds child pornography is created here in the US and we have scarce resources to fight it. This bill will change things.

Please lets pull together and spread the word. Don't be silent on this issue! Even if you don't know who your senators are, google them it takes 2 minutes to write a one line email letting them know this is important to you.

Our children are our most precious resource. I know we can ALL agree on that!

Bumping and adding that I emailed both Senators for my state and have heard back from one. I am sure it is a candid response from his team but he is going to support it according to th email. Now to see if he really does.
