When it comes to child molesters and rapists, prison time cannot be about simply \"serving a debt to society\". We need sexual predators to stay in prison to keep them away from everyone else. The only neighbor of a sex offender should be another sex offender. If we stand together and tell congress it is vital to pass a law in which, upon the FIRST conviction of any kind of sexual assault a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole, imagine how many less tragedies can occur from that particular predator. I am sending this to parents in particular, but this petition is for every concerned member of our society who wishes that horrific crimes like these could, at the very least, take place a great deal less often. I would like this to be sent to as many people as possible that signatures can be added no later than 3/29/05. Thank you for your consideration, please sign below to request this legislation.

I really thought this might just float around in the void but seeing the support grow like this is honestly startling. It is strange to think so many people are feeling the exact same level of frustration I have been living with for way too long. I need to figure out the best way to get this in front of the right people now that it feels real.

About time something was done. These people dont change and they should never be allowed back out on the streets near our kids.
