Sexual Predator Bill update

Citizens for a Safe Wisconsin is still doing the hard work of protesting our kids from Sexual Predators, they can use our help. Please pass the following information along to your friends. I got the following note from Andy, one of our regular commenters and someone that I have come to rely on for CFSW news.
Hi Partrick,

Sheri Hanneman and Sandy Mayer-Johnson are collecting signatures of people who support AB-591 (http://steveolson.us/html/preditor_files/ab-591.pdf). They will take those signatures with them to the public hearing this Tuesday the 13th and present them with their presentations. They are looking for 500 or more (a lot more) signatures.

I talked with Sandy and she said that they will accept emails as a signature substitute. They just require that the sender say "I support AB-591", City of Residence, and their name.

Sandy can be emailed at smayerjohnson@wi.rr.com
Sheri can be emailed at hanneman@wi.rr.com

You can see and share this flier with your friends.
From the AB 591 Flier
Citizens for a Safe Wisconsin (CFSW) will introduce a bill outlining a comprehensive sex predator management program in the Fall Session of the Wisconsin Legislature. A key component of this comprehensive bill is GPS monitoring. Supporting AB 591 is essential to passing future legislation including CFSW’s bill which will help protect our children from these predators.

Please go read the entire flier, they have more details as well as contact information of key legislators. Let them know that you support this Bill and you think they should too.

CFSW also provides a Class Action Letter that you can print out or email to your Representatives.


Class Action Letter
Members of the Wisconsin State Assembly,

We respectfully submit this class-action letter of support for AB 591 Relating to: global positioning system tracking for certain sex offenders while on probation, extended supervision, parole, supervised release, or conditional release and providing a penalty.

The monitoring systems of sex offenders and predators in Wisconsin are minimally sufficient compared to those of many other states. Wisconsin leads the nation in the release of sexually violent persons and we demand that our state also lead the nation in its approach to managing and monitoring those predators who are released into society.



Again, please read the entire document, then put it to good use. We owe it to our kids!
