Sandy,
Websites are meant to be seen. This one offers the opportunity to post for speech purposes, and I am grateful for it. My concern is with the low level of traffic this site receives from the country it serves. NARSOL interests are aligned with the general publics interests and especially the interest of all children. NARSOL is also predominantly a database driven enterprise operated by humans in coalition opposing use of the database by gov. A wonderful and necessary org.
The child rearing environment is a topic worthy of war. The same goes hand in hand with topic of rape and war itself. Perhaps it’s time again to rename this important .org to one more aligned with mainstream interests, without denying your roots of course. The National Association of Rational Sex Laws; Or NARSL. The term sex offender is ambiguous at best in actual behavioral definition. I am suggesting it’s the sex laws we’re concerned with and we reject the sexualization of children. Dropping the “offender” causes no harm to the mission. Perhaps you, the board & Robin can roll it around a bit. Fair sex trial doctrine needs to be addressed.

I’m just curious why there seems to be so little news coming through the website over the last few months? Surely there is something noteworthy to discuss. After all, isn’t that what these conferences are for? All the different advocates and their organizations have to be doing something to help alleviate the issues we face as RSO’s. Thank you

In reply to Sandy Rozek. Someone needs to hold the politicians accountable that are creating these laws. Best way to do it is follow the money. These laws are not being created for justice. They’re being created for money. Follow the money you will find the criminal. Think about it. Why does Florida register dead people and out of state residence? Money! The number one topic of these conferences should be who to vote for and who to expose. Remove the corrupt politicians, and you will fix the laws.

Jeremy, we are sorry that you are so unhappy and feel so hopeless.
To address your concerns, those who are involved in advocacy also experience those feelings sometimes. To get together with others, to receive new ideas, to remind ourselves that we are not alone, to be able to talk about our feelings openly–all of these things recharge and invigorate us and give us hope and strength and courage for another year of doing the work that we do, work that involves confronting legislatures and helping legal actions and providing help and support for families in our states. Those things are exhausting and sometimes overwhelming. We need recharging. The conference helps do that.

In reply to Jeremy from Indiana. I would answer this in that we need to show that we are organized and eventually can be a power to reckon with. The Conservative Coolition has done this. The Tea Party has done this. Strength in numbers. Again., if we can get every registrant and or family member to donate just $1 a month, imagine the power we would have to fight laws and show we are a force to reckon with.

Not trying to be negative here, but what’s the point of these conferences?

Nothing gets done. Nothing gets organized.

A bunch of people preach… to the choir.

The people who need to listen to us aren’t there: politicians, attorneys, judges, constitutionalists, law enforcement.

When I asked for help finding a lawyer, none was given.

I’ve been following this organization over 10 years and nothing seems to have changed.

You sure posted about this pointless conference a bunch though.
