It always disheartens me when we seem to make progress and then I see yet another bill passed that drags us under again. The following is a very short write in the New Orleans Advocate that everyone should read.

While this is not a California or federal law, the fact that it has happened will set precedent if it is not challenged immediately. Can you imagine having your email addresses and user names published on the SOR!? What next, our telephone numbers?

Your Thoughts on this?

A county sheriff is picketing alongside the neighbors around the placement of a sex offender. If this man is too much for the sheriff to handle, why should the community trust this sheriff to handle more serious crimes like robberies & murders?

And you gotta love the neighbor whose considering moving just because he’ll have a “scary” black guy living next door

Sorry to say many Americans (including our public officials) have basically turned into cowards

It seems discouraging to read all of the news about laws passing against registered citizens and almost never reading about changes that reflect constitutionally protected rights. The entire fight against these draconian laws just seems to have turned on its heels and progress halted. Even worse, the country spreads its fear-mongering and hate speech internationally. There is little left it seems but to re-incarcerate all of us or pass such a myriad of laws that it becomes impossible to comply…with the same chilling effect.
