In that the Notification (Sex Offender Registry) and Proximity Laws have evolved into a system that does not protect children from sex offenders and have created a false sense of security for society we seek the following:
We advocate returning the Sex Offender Registry to its original intent, tracking the most dangerous and predatory offenders and absconders. We can accomplish this by the immediate removal of low risk intra-familial offenders - including former offenders who have paid their debt to society and have not re-offended, Romeo and Juliet (teen-age consensual sex) lovers, juvenile offenders, and non-sexual (urinating in public, mooning, etc.) offenders from the sex offender registries to make them a more effective monitoring program for law enforcement.
We ask for the rights of all; victims, offenders and their families are first and foremost in the ensuing dialogue. We enjoin our elected representatives to immediately begin using known facts in place of myths, lies, and misconceptions when addressing this issue. We call for restorative justice and Constitutional protection in place of retributive justice and Unconstitutional banishment for offenders, former offenders and their families.
We do not condone, in any way, abuse, especially the sexual abuse of children. We do not, and will never make excuses for former offenders or their offenses. We believe that repeat offenders need to be separated from society, and released conditionally on proof of reform. We do acknowledge the fact that false accusations are made, people make mistakes (even stupid ones) and believe each case should be judged on its own merits, using empirical evidence and not hearsay. We know that people can change, improve themselves, and accomplish their own human revolution. We encourage society to approach this issue with an open mind and value the essence of every person
THIS MOMENT IS ABSOLUTELY ELECTRIC AND THE MOMENTUM IS BECOMING TOTALLY UNSTOPPABLE!! WE ARE FLIPPING THE SCRIPT ON THESE OUTDATED LAWS AND PEOPLE ARE FINALLY READY TO DEMAND REAL LOGIC AND JUSTICE!!

I have been fighting this for years. Enduring garbage thrown in my yard, mail box knocked over etc. Have been trying since 2007 to get my Civil Rights restored and finally have a date of Dec. 7, 2016 to go before a committee in Tallahassee, Fl.

People deserve a second chance once theyve done their time. Its impossible to reintegrate when the state keeps putting a target on your back forever.

The registry is a joke. Real predators hide while good people are stuck paying for the rest of their lives. It does nothing to keep kids safe.

Sick of the fear mongering. Common sense needs to come back to these laws.

My son made a mistake when he was 17 and now he cant even get a job at a grocery store. This system is broken and needs to be fixed for the people who actually want to move on with their lives.

ABOUT TIME. My husband is on the list for something that happened 20 years ago when he was a teenager. We just want to live in peace without being harassed every time we move.
