For all those worried that republicans are the most anti-registrant, note that all the California senators involved in this latest attack through legislation are Democrats. Neither party is friendly towards registrants (period).

Wow. Insightful writing by Con-Con. Just whipped out the old red pen and deleted anything in the existing law that she didn’t like. I guess she didn’t hear about the recent CALIFORNIA decisions which prohibit “blanket” applications of residence restrictions or presence restrictions, which is pretty much exactly what this is. A law was already in place, and ALREADY BEING ABUSED (see: Fontana), and Con-Con wants to go back up the blanket restriction hill. I would have actually given her a little credit for a well thought out bill (emphasis on the word, “little”), but this is just a hack job. HEAR THE BELLS, Connie! The courts have spoken on blanket restrictions already. As the comments to the news article stated far better than I, where is the empirical evidence of ANY RSO going through the hassle of getting approval to be on school grounds and then cornering some child in a secluded place and molesting them? Look hard, and let me know when you’re done. I can save you the time and give you the answer right now, but I know you’re a hard-working politico, so I’ll let you have at it. Here’s a thought. Ban the teachers, coaches, etc. Want to know what they all have in common? They ARE NOT ON A REGISTRY! That’s right, the crimes you are working SO HARD to prevent are not being perpetrated by registrations, but by the actual employees of the school. You might actually have to open a newspaper to find that out, though. Give it a try sometime.

Anyway, I hope your little bill makes you popular over there in Fontucky. Maybe the Republicans will keep you around a little longer now.

Wow! No exception to allow a parent/grandparent to meet with his/her child’s teacher, school administrator, etc? No provision for attending a high school graduation? Clearly unconstitutional on so many levels.

Even worse: No exception to allow us to attend our polling place to vote misinformed and narrow-minded public “servants” like her out of office as quickly as possible. We must all vote and spread the word! (Now that there are three to five million RSOs and family members in the US, we can make a difference).

Clearly another bill pandering to public fears based on urban myth statistics.

Make her show compelling evidence as to why this bill is needed (as per federal court orders in the 4th circuit). As we all know, this is in response to a nonexistent problem.

She is making a huuuuuge push for reelection as seen below. Time to shoot down this bill and show the taxpayers the fraud, waste and abuse of the system she participates in, e.g. knowing spending state tax money unwisely on efforts that will be turned back in committee. Obviously, since Fontana is in her area, she was following the school situation closely there.

Elected to represent the 20th State Senate District on November 4, 2014, Senator Connie M. Leyva is serving her first term in the California State Senate.  The district includes the cities and communities of Bloomington, Chino, Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Montclair, Muscoy, Ontario, Pomona, Rialto and San Bernardino.

She is seeking reelection in two years based upon this: Those elected in or after 2012 are allowed to serve 12 years in the legislature in any combination of four-year state senate or two-year state assembly terms.

Need to work extra hard for her opponent in two years during reelection so she can be only a one-term state senator.

“In 2006, voters passed Proposition 83 to prohibit a person who is required to register as a sex offender from living in specified places, including within 2,000 feet of a school or park where children regularly gather.”

Nothing like quoting a law that has been struck down as unconstitutional. What a crock of crap!

I can’t find the text of this bill anywhere, just the PR blurbs from her office. Does anyone know if she is attempting to cover higher education campuses, too? That would be interesting, wouldn’t it? Actually, I would really enjoy that as in “Come on, come on, come on, just TRY it!”

Why does the article say it is “important legislation”. Says who?

Another Elected official that will do any thing but tell the true facts, she and the media have all been the cause of so many problems for RCs. The media has distorted facts and exploited the myths for so long most of the public believe all this bull. I really think sometimes with the New prez coming in someone need to explain the real facts to his staff, hell he hates the media as much as I do. I hope he drains the swamp and kicks many of these lying media nuts and lawmakers to the ground whether it helps us or not.

The only thing that Connie Leyva will be known for is proclaiming that the children of Former Citizen Detainees have now been stripped of their American citizenship like their parents.

Children of sex offenders do not matter to Connie Leyva, she feels they are as filthy, perverted and disgusting as their parents and are not worthy of the same benefits as the good kids in California schools.

We must do everything we can to educate the children of sex offenders to show them how unwanted and disgusting they are and how the government and the people of California are their enemies.

The time to groom the next generation of revolutionists is now and Connie Leyva is helping us by proclaiming that our children no longer matter.

Just found this bill, SB18 that was introduced this last week that might do us some good to support (http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB18).

I think this can add to the argument that the children of registrants need to be allowed to have their parents involved in their schooling. It says that these rights have to be applied “evenly and equitably” to all children. Here is the text:

SECTION 1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that all children and youth, regardless of gender, class, race, ethnicity, national origin, culture, religion, immigration status, sexual orientation, or ability, have inherent rights that entitle them to protection, special care, and assistance, including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) The right to parents, guardians, or caregivers who act in their best interest.
(2) The right to form healthy attachments with adults responsible for their care and well-being.
(3) The right to live in a safe and healthy environment.
(4) The right to social and emotional well-being.
(5) The right to opportunities to attain optimal cognitive, physical, and social development.
(6) The right to appropriate, quality education and life skills leading to self-sufficiency in adulthood.
(7) The right to appropriate, quality health care.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to expand and codify the Bill of Rights for Children and Youth of California created by Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 80 (Res. Ch. 101, Stats. 2009), to establish a comprehensive framework that governs the rights of all children and youth in California, outlines the research-based essential needs of California’s children, and establishes standards relating to the health, safety, well-being, early childhood and educational opportunities, and familial supports necessary for all children to succeed.
SEC. 2. It is the intent of the Legislature, by January 1, 2022, to enact appropriate legislation to accomplish all of the following:
(a) Develop and put forth research-based policy solutions that will ensure the Bill of Rights for Children and Youth of California, in its totality, is applied evenly, equitably, and appropriately to all children and youth across the state.
(b) Determine the amount of revenue and resources necessary to ensure that the Bill of Rights for Children and Youth of California, in its totality, is applied evenly, equitably, and appropriately to all children and youth across the state.
(c) Identify and obtain the revenue and resources necessary to ensure that the Bill of Rights for Children and Youth of California, in its totality, is applied evenly, equitably, and appropriately to all children and youth across the state.

Here is what you put out there to counter this:

The ONLY stories I hear about people molesting or having sex with students involve teachers and coaches and teacher aides etc.
I hear NO stories about anyone who is a currently registered sex offender or not, much less a parent of a student on that campus, coming on the campus to attack students.
Case closed.

So Con-Con is pushing this which she knows is against reasoning and recent court decisions that render
these laws unconstitutional . She is doing this because she does not have the wits to educate the
Fon-tucky school board which is an oxymoron of its own doing. She will go down as a martyr praised by the group for giving it a good college try.

She is unfit to serve in a public service capacity but really good at the tenets of mob rule. She will find her place among those who use lies and distortions to further their causes, but it won’t be to her liking in the end.
