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,
