A bill designed to protect children from sexual predators has cleared Congress and is headed to the White House to be signed into law. “With President Obama’s signature, this law will help to rescue the thousands of children suffering from unthinkable abuse,” said Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from Weston, who sponsored the bill along with House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican.
The bill’s passage is one sign that Congress can still get something done, especially when leaders from each party push a non-controversial measure.
The bill increases the maximum penalty from 10 years in prison to 20 years for child pornography offenses that involve pre-pubescent children, or those under age 12. Full Article
It is absolutely inevitable that I will end up killing myself over this nonsense. I CAN’T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!! This person is supposed to be one of the most reasonable and progressive people in Congress. It’s hopeless. It’s all HOPELESS!

I know exactly how you feel but you are not alone! There are thousands of us who feel like you do and are ready to stand with you so do NOT give up or feel alone. This is a war and you can not give up…if you do then they have won.

We stopped it earlier this month with two TRO’s. With more time, we will be able to stop permanently the pendulum from swinging. My thoughts and prayers are with you tonight.
This is why Rush calls her Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz because her yammering and actions are absolutely hollow. She has no real convictions or beliefs. The law will “rescue the thousands of children suffering from unthinkable abuse.” How so? These victims will suddenly be released from the harmful environments where they are currently living? Saigon-style airlifts from consulate rooftops around the world? Is Blabbermouth going to put them up somewhere? The law provides a panacea and scum bags that produce this crap and abuse kids are going to magically have a change of heart and be free of the sickness that… Read more »
Why not make killers register. All sex offenders did not commit a crime. This is a waste of tax payers money.
