It is absolutely time that we start doing something as a group Yes But how to join this group if one doesn&#039;t have the required funds to join. I am an RSO having been released recently from 3 yrs of Federal Supervised Release/Probation  after serving 72 mths of an 84 mth sentence in an FCI for the Possession and Downloading of Child Abusive Materials.While on Federal Supervised Release it is virtually impossible to be any such advocate and/or be a part of any social group(s) for that matter. I was able to learn of and somewhat follow this group, yet for obvious reason was unable to join back then. I did much cheering from the sidelines, but that was all I could do then. NOW as I attempt to engage and join the fight it appears one must pay to join this group. I am totally ruined now and have not had an income for more than a year. If it wasn&#039;t for a life long friend I would be homeless and more than likely, not living period. Why must there be a mandatory charge to join?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We live in a Police state lets face it. Not sure if anything can change it now. Maybe too late already. But the rest of America needs to wake up that first its us then its them. The Government will never give back the power they have without a fight. 

I too don&#039;t get the not being able to sponser a spouse. As long as they are legal age and aware of the situation it should be fine. Many protections here. I am personally losing a fiancee of 7 years because of this and I am Mad as Hell.  Its just another punishment for something I was already punished for. I have little to live for and that makes a person think nothing matters. I wouldnt want a bunch of people with nothing left to lose walking around.  

This is about punishment and ruining lives nothing more.]]></description>

Let me know when and where; I&#039;m in Raleigh, NC. 
Will they penalize us if we gather for protest since they say RSOs cannot assemble together!!!

I&#039;m sick and tired of these draconian laws. I&#039;ve no inclination towards children in sexual way but being labeled as a &quot;sex offender&quot; automatically makes you a child molester or rapist in the society&#039;s eyes, even churches are no exception. What a country have come to now? Land of the &quot;free&quot;, home of the &quot;brave&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I wonder why no one has approached this as a Bill of Attainder ?
It certainly singles out one class of people.
The actual statistics can be used to prove that sex offenders have a lower rate of recidivism than virtually every other crime.
Shouldn&#039;t there then be a registry for ALL other offenders ? Burglary, fraud, murder assault, etc. ?
Doesn&#039;t the public need to be protected from ALL criminals ? Maybe if the states had to spend millions to create registries for every type of crime they might find it easier to have no registries at all.
In addition, the Constitution PROHIBITS Congress from passing ex post facto laws. It does NOT say only criminal laws. The founding fathers actually discussed civil vs. criminal laws under ex post facto and deliberately CHOSE NOT to differentiate. They SPECIFICALLY stated NO ex post facto law shall be passed.
Calder v. Bull is NOT blanket authority to pass ex post facto civil laws. 
Another point i think is overlooked is the Declaration of Independence. IT IS PART OF LAW. That means that life, liberty, etc, is a right BY LAW.
The Declaration is, and has been, part of the Organic LAWS of the United  States. IT has as MUCH legal authority as the Constitution.

Food for thought......]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Freedom to travel is an inalienable right dating back to the Articles of Confederation.
It was not specifically listed in the Constitution because it WAS understood that it was inalienable by the founding fathers and it was absolutely unnecessary to list it.
Although they keep passing these laws as &#039;civil laws&#039; to completely bypass
the ex post facto issue, if the international law criminalizes anything at all, it becomes an ex post facto violation. 
And what about those who are no longer required to register ?  (federal guidelines in the original law, misdemeanor 10 year registry period subject to certain conditions), do they now get back on a new list and suffer penalties that the law already removed from 
them ?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let me jump in here a minute. I don&#039;t usually like to comment on these sites&#039; anymore because man thinks they can solve man&#039;s problems. I&#039;ve been mixed up in this sex registry for 3 years and after my probation I will have a lifetime to go.
 
It seems everybody wants to take a different approach to this Megan&#039;s law or whatever one wants to call all these laws. To me most all these laws&#039; are all man made. So when doesn&#039;t anybody on here put God into the equation.

That&#039;s my point they don&#039;t and man wants to solve all his problems man&#039;s way. God is much more better.

Now think about this. We have victimless crimes, such as urinating on the street, looking at porn,, maybe even flipping the person the bird might be considered a sex registry offense but you see my point.

Like  one person on here and many persons have said &quot;Enough is Enough&quot; I agree they are persecuting us all in all of this. People can&#039;t find jobs, are homeless, can&#039;t be around there love ones because of this or that and some can&#039;t even go to church.

When  Megan&#039;s law first came in, it wasn&#039;t meant to go this far but who do we thank for that. Can we blame it on the Government, can we blame it on the people or can we blame it on the greed and self-righteousness of a people or nation?

I would much rather fear God than fear Man. We all need to stand up for all this in the proper way or else it will be worse than when it first began.]]></description>
