Committee Overwhelmingly Approves
Sensenbrenner’s Children’s Safety Act
Measure Targets Criminals Victimizing Children and Loopholes in
Sex Offender Notification Requirements

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House Judiciary Committee today overwhelmingly
approved legislation introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James
Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-Wis.) which addresses the growing epidemic of violence against
children, and enhances the safety of children from convicted sex offenders through
coordinated State sex offender registration and notification programs.

H.R. 3132, the “Children’s Safety Act” was supported by a bipartisan 22-to-4 vote.
Chairman Sensenbrenner commented, “We must do more to protect our children from
those determined to violate and victimize them. This legislation focuses on the worst of
the worst: those criminals committing violence against children and those exploiting
children. The Children’s Safety Act will help address loopholes in current sex offender
notification requirements so parents and the public can be armed with knowledge of any
sex offenders lurking in their community.”

“Those Members that have introduced provisions which have been incorporated into this
legislation as well as child victim advocates deserve credit for helping push this needed
legislation through the Committee. I look forward to having the full House consider this
legislation in September,” added Chairman Sensenbrenner.

H.R. 3132 Highlights Include

• Improves Sex Offender Registration and Notification Program to ensure that sex
offenders register, and keep current, where they reside, work and attend school.

History has taught us nothing!

Our lawmakers don't seem to care that kids are molested all the time. We free pedophile type sex offenders from jail all the time. They get out and go on to do it more. Some go on to kill i.e. John Evander Couey. He abducted and killed 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford. Joseph Edward Duncan III molested Shasta and likely killed Dylan Groene and the rest of that family.

WE don't seem to care about it either. We'll worry about our gas taxes and who won the superbowl though.


This is how we choose to treat our future generations? Morality has died in our culture/country. When morality dies, the culture/country dies next. Apparently, history has taught us nothing.

WA DOC could have held onto Duncan

KOMO4 TV News reported this evening that WA state could have kept Joseph Duncan III behind bars, but because the Department of Corrections couldn’t prove that Duncan would reoffend they had to let him go.

What kind of crazy logic is this and who are these people running our prison system anyway? Oh, I forgot! DOC Chairman Joseph Lehman SR. is the father of a man who raped a two month old baby! Yes, you read me right. His son raped a two month old baby. His son raped his granddaughter.

That’s who’s running this system!

Victoria Roberts, chairman of the DOC’s End of Sentence Review Committee stated that 'You have to be able to prove they are going to reoffend in a sexually violent, predatory way.'

Oh, really Ms. Roberts? Didn’t you just admit that Duncan wouldn’t stop talking about how he wanted to rape little kids.

The rapists, kidnappers and molesters have no problem talking about their demented plans yet how can it be that those we put in these positions to oversee these sexually demented creatures don’t understand how serious this “sexually deviant chatter” is.

It doesn't take a brian surgeon to figure out that people the DOC labels “Level Three” sex offenders are most likely going to reoffend. DUH!

When are we going to get this? When are we going to get the kahoonas to change the current lax laws that pamper these sexual perps and lock these animals away for life? When are we going to get it and stop making excuses and enabling our bureaucratic and arrogant agency wurkers?

Why is it we are so afraid to confront those we put into office? Are we afraid that we might have to get pissed off with the legislators we elect, and actually expect something substantial from them?

What are we afraid of?

The current system of labeling kidnappers, child rapists and molesters with a number has to stop! It doesn’t make sense to label a predator a level three and then let them out of prison.

Does that make sense to you?

Blogging the Fifth Nail

Folks,
Here is the demented blog of kidnapper, Joseph Duncan, and the alleged murderer of Shasta's entire family. BE WARNED! WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS INSANITY!

What can I Do to help CFAOSL pass a one strike law?

13 ways to be active even if you don't live in Washington state:

1. Donate to Citizens for a One Strike Law --The most frequently asked question of me is, "Are you going to refile in January.?" The answer is, No! UNLESS we can raise the money. Believe it or not it costs about $400,000 to get an initiative to the ballot. However, with an active volunteer base it doesn't have to cost that much at all. If I can raise half that amount and get at least 2000 volunteers willing to collect at least 120 signatures I will refile in January.

I have also decided that if I don't get the money by Jan. 1, 2006 I will give it all back to whomever contributed and I will close up the office. So if you care about this issue please DONATE today! Here is the link where you can donate via credit card or check:

http://www.citizensforaonestrikelaw.org/id22.htm

2. Please take this fight very serious. If citizens can raise 100 grand in ONE WEEK and collect more than 230,000 signatures in 30 days to lower gas taxes WHY CAN'T WE do the same thing TO SAVE INNOCENT LIVES? Be cause we don't take it serious enough! We take life for granted. We think it won't happen to us. We don't care!

3. Write to your local newspapers or get on the radio and spread the news --Let people know that there is a state wide organization here to help change the laws. Spread the news to your family, friends and neighbors and impress on to them that our Legislature isn't about to change these laws so we have to do it ourselves. Read the campaign letter on the front page of the website for the reasons why our Legislature won't change the laws.

4. Go to your local predator notification hearings -- When you get a notice that a predator has picked your neighborhood to reside in GO to the public hearing and set up a table with CFAOSL information for people to take. Let them know we are here to work to change these laws. You can print up what ever information you need off the website (Just give credit to those who created the information).

5. Contribute local information to the website --What's going on in your part of Washington? We want to know. Your community is just as important as any other community in this state or other states. Send us your local news stories with added links for the website. The more evidence we have the better chances we have to convince legislators that we are right. This applies to all other states that have a CFAOSL chapter so please let us know.

6. Become an Area Coordinator (AC) -- Even if you live in/outside of Washington we are looking for anyone with a sound mind to become an area coordinator. CFAOSL is expanding to other states now and we are looking for those who would like to become AC in their community/states.

7. Ask your Legislators to support a one strike law bill or a possible future one strike law initiative. -- Don't take no for an answer! They work for you!

8. Volunteer your services to CFAOSL. --If we do get the necessary funds to refile we will need writers, researchers, door-bellers, signature gathers, fund raisers, etc. So please donate 10% of your money and 10% of your time.

9. Keep track of the local pedophiles living in a two mile radius of your home. --You can do that by looking up your zip code on this link. How does that help CFAOSL? If the predator re offends CFAOSL has added ammunition to fight its battle!

10. Link our website to your website -- We need free advertising. If you can link our site to yours that helps get our needs out there.

11. Put our website on your business reader boards -- Again we need to get our name out there for free.

12. Be a contributor to the One Strike Blog. We need writers from all over the country. Here is the blog link for your review.

http://onestrikelaw.blogspot.com/

13. Get the facts and stats -- Facts will change a person's mind instantly. There is a lot of confusion out there about what kind of crimes we want to toughen up. Read the Layman's Guide to I-861. We aren't going after "he said, she said" issues and we aren't even going after child rape for those who are 14 and above. We should, but we won't. So get the facts.

Here are just a hand full of ideas you can help CFAOSL between now and January. If you have any other ideas let me know.

Hey! I'm not willing to give up, so you don't give up!

Keep up the fight! Tracy

What are our priorities?

Dear One Strike Law Supporters and Media,

My team and I have worked diligently for two years to get sentencing law re: violent sex crimes changed in this state to no avail, but we keep on trying.

I am joyful to hear that Shasta Groene has been found alive. What I am sad, confused and angry about is that, we as citizens of this state, can raise $100,000 in ONE WEEK to make sure our gas taxes don't go up, but CFAOSL can't raise any money to pay for signatures to get strong sentencing law for violent sexual predators on the ballot. Why is that? Why do we not care about the safety of innocent life?

This man who kidnapped, raped, and murdered two innocent children was FIRST convicted in Pierce County! These Idaho citizens, including a 13 year old boy and a nine year old boy would still be alive if Washington had a one strike law for violent sex offenses. But we'll make darn sure our gas taxes don't go up!

When are we going to start caring about sex crimes to the point that we will raise money, collect signatures and devote ourselves to putting sexual predators behind bars for life? It would only take 6 months of dedication to change our laws and take a national stand against this trend in taking other people's children to commit heinous acts against them.

We have confused priorities. Yes, it matters that we don't allow this government to run rough shod over our pocket books and property! Yes, that matters. But it also matters that this government has and is creating more government jobs out of the sex offender industry and we stand by and let it happen! Bureaucrats have created a pedophile industrial complex and a jobs creation program off the innocent lives of children. Do the research and it is the only conclusion a sound mind can come to.

Please help me to change our laws to put dangerous and violent sexual predators behind bars for life, so we can stop predators in their tracks. In the end, we save tax money and more importantly we save human life.

Thank You,

Tracy Oetting
