Triggering (Sexual Abuse) - Help pass a bill that will protect children from abuse and exploitation! (applies to US citizens)

[troubleshooter]

The Senate is now trying to pass Bill 1738, the Protect Our Children Act. If passed, this will:
Authorize over $320 million over the next five years in desperately needed funding for law enforcement to investigate child exploitation.
Mandate that child rescue be a top priority for law enforcement receiving federal funding.
Allocate funds for high-tech computer software that can track down Internet predators.

So, send an e-mail, letter or phone call to your senator today to let him/her know that you want to protect the children of America (and essentially the world, since all child pornography doesn't come from the US). All senator contact information can be accessed here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contac...nators_cfm.cfm

And if anyone wants a prewritten/sample letter to send to your senator, you can find one on oprah.com. (If lots of people want that I'll post the link)

Everyone join in to help the cause to protect children and find the people who hurt them! *goes to write and send a letter to senator*

Are we supposed to send one to the senators listed above or the one(s) for our particular state (I'm in Ga)?

[Amaryllis]

Send one to your particular senator.

For GA, you could do either Chambliss, Saxby or Isakson, Johnny. They're both republicans.

Oh, no it's for your state's particular senators! It's just that Heather and I live in the same state, that's why she asked who "our" senators are! =P
