WE MUST ACT NOW!

Dear Fellow Concerned Washington State PARENTS and GRANDPARENTS:

If you haven't ordered your petitions then now is the time to do so! We must get DYLAN’S LAW on our Washington State November Ballot.

Named after Dylan Groene, the molested, then murdered little brother of Shasta Groene whose entire household was murdered during their abduction by the multiple repeat sexual offender Joseph Duncan, who shortly after his arrest with Shasta confessed to killing many additional children during his time in the Seattle area as well (remember the two young Hispanic sisters who “disappeared” from Aurora avenue about 10 years ago, etc?)

He went on to tell police that when the truth about him finally comes out, “then I will be considered one of the worst serial killers in American history”, and all of his victims were innocent children. As Oprah said “ENOUGH, ENOUGH, ENOUGH!” It’s a shame that so many innocent children had to be tortured and murdered before WE THE PEOPLE had to rise up and demand this action, as it’s obvious that we can’t count on our liberal Legislators and Judges to do it, as they “just don’t get it”. Thank God for our right to petition!

I believe it was Gandhi who said: “You can judge the morality of a society by how it treats its’ most vulnerable members”. A society that won’t protect it’s own children is doomed.

We need 225,000 signatures by July 7th to bring this CRITICALLY IMPORTANT LEGISTLATION to a vote of the good people of Washington State, and we currently have only 100,000 as of Sunday May 17th, and MOST of those signatures were from Spokane County alone. Shasta’s Father hopes that this law, when passed, will become the example for ALL the other 49 States to adopt and follow. How could anyone argue with that?

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE have every thinking registered voter you know sign this petition, and then mail it into the Citizens For A One Strike Law address listed at the upper left. You can receive as many copies as you’d like by contacting them at 877-745-9592 OR onestrike@seanet.com.

Thank you for your time and consideration, and please be sure to visit www.onestrikelaw.org for additional information.

Biker's Ride Out for Dylan's Law a Phenomenal Success!

Tracy,

I certainly don't expect you to remember me from the mass of folks at yesterday's ride but I was the pony-tailed fella trying to give you directions in the parking lot after leaving the last Aztecas.

At any rate, I just wanted to say a very sincere thank you to you and your husband. What you are doing is incredible and even if 921 doesn't make the ballot, you will have done a great service to your community. Someone has to start the ball rolling and you have done that. As a father, citizen, ex-cop, and simply a human being I thank you and extend my deepest admiration.

It seems every week there is an adivisory alerting us to a new Level III offender with a high risk to re-offend moving into our communities. Just this past Friday, the day before the ride, a man groped a little girl just outside the school that my youngest daughter and my grand-niece attend. News story

It sickens and saddens me that our so-called political "leaders" have to be forced into action. But it heartens me to see folks like you and those who have lent so much support take the bull by the horns and work with the system for all of our benefit.

It was an honor to meet you and your husband.

I don't know how many signatures we collected but regardless of the number, I feel as though the event was an amazing success. It generated publicity in the local media but more, it was a highly impactful visual display for Washingtonians. They won't soon forget the long parade of bikers rumbling down Division Street hoisting signs for Dylan's Law!

I intend to contact Sheri and extend the same thanks and appreciation to her. And I also intend to contact Azteca and the Spokane PD for their support.

I've attached a few pictures. I have more if you'd like but just picked these out of the bunch. I attended the event with my brother in law and sister (who you'll see in the pictures). I've never seen my sister so motivated and passionate about a cause before. It was great!

Thank you again for your efforts and I hope you've returned home safely and without incident.

God Bless,

Erik L. Turner

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A night of music and community activism

Come for an evening of fun, food, spirits, music, and help to make our communities a safer place. The Blvd will be holding a very special concert, Thursday May 4, 8pm. “Citizens for a One Strike Law” (CFAOSL) “Dylan’s Law benefit show” is a celebration for WA. state to unite in support of Dylan’s Law/I-921 in memory of Dylan Groene an 8-year old boy, and his family who were allegedly brutally murdered, and raped by, Joseph Duncan III, a Washington state parolee.

“I think when more people know about Dylan's Law, the more we'll see an angry uprising of the community wanting to know, why wouldn't we want a One Strike Law to protect the rights of our children? That is my hope,“ stated Chelsey Fanara Whitman county area coordinator.

Joseph Duncan III a Wa. state parolee and convicted sex offender is awaiting trial in Idaho for the murder of Dylan's Groene’s mother, her boyfriend, and Dylan's 13-year-old brother, Slade.  Duncan will be facing a federal trial for the charge of kidnapping, sexual assault, the murder of Dylan, and other charges for Shasta, Dylan's younger sister.  Duncan will also be facing additional charges in the kidnappings and murders of three other missing and murdered children in California and Washington State. Duncan is also a suspect in other western states.

With Dylan's Law mindless criminals such as Duncan don’t get a second chance. It is a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole for violent and predatory sexual crimes such as kidnapping, rape and molestation. The new law would forever protect against tragedies like the Groene families and searched for an answer for years. The answer to protecting the families and, communities of Washington State is Dylan’s Law. It would make it a priority that could eventually lead to the ultimate goal of a national law to protect America’s children. The law addresses the constitutional issues of sex predators' rights and saves taxpayers money.

The Blvd, a twenty-one and older club will be charging five dollars at the door.
The club is directly across from the Spokane Oprah House. Signatures from WA state voters will be collected through the duration of the show in support of “Dylan’s Law.” The bands that will be entertaining are to be announced, and the evening looks to be a very enjoyable one not to be missed.

"Band-aid laws allow more children to be killed and brutalized. We need Dylan's Law to protect our kids, " stated Steve Groene, Dylan’s father.
