Thank you, George

By Nancy

Dear George: Thank you for signing The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act in your rose garden recently. Your signature will create a national sex offender registry and will require states to list ALL sex offenders on their websites so that communities, law enforcement, and parents are given complete information. It will also require offenders to register BEFORE being released from prison and will require them to re-register in person, not by mail. Also, an offender will, now, be penalized more severely for not following the rules.

As a parent, I applaud your efforts yesterday, George. I know you’ve taken a lot of heat lately, and I’ll admit that I’m not a big fan. But, what you did yesterday was good, George, and I thank you.
