Just Three Minutes

This is my 200th post. I finally got around to watching Oprah's show about child predators and I was disgusted. I was bawling and felt like throwing up at the same time. Many bloggers I know are either shutting down, or going private because of this particular show in an effort to protect their children and the privacy of their family. Short of doing that what can we do to protect our children?

We have to act fast! First, if you did not see this show, watch it here. Congress is voting on Bill 1738—The PROTECT Our Children Act, (which is sponsored by the Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden) THIS WEEK, before they go on hiatus, so go NOW to this page and follow the directions to send a letter (it's already written for you) to your Senators. It's fast and easy. I sent one to both of Senators in under 3 minutes.

In a nutshell the PROTECT our children act will: (credit to the Oprah show website)

• 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.

If you saw what I saw on that show, you would not hesitate to do this.....I won't even describe it here......it was THAT bad. Please do it for our children, our nieces and nephews, our neighbor's children , and for those babies that are being abused before they even have a chance talk and tell us that someone is hurting them. Please. It will only take three minutes of your time...but give those children a new lease on life.
