I probably sound like an idiot appealing to a president.   

What in common do I have? We both live in Florida.  We both like golf.  We both are married with children.  We both hate the courts.  We both are targets for various vigilante groups. Mentally ill people who kill us. 
We both are ….not alike at all.     One is cheered and revered.  One sneered and subjugated.  One very wealthy. One unemployed and blacklisted.      One in charge of the most powerful nation in history.  One present and accounted $$$ for.  No vote and no rights for the rest of life.

Twilight Zone material.   Sounds like a great episode.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Retroactive application.   

Mr President.   Please make this happen.
Once removed from the registry successfully by process or end of length, said person has fulfilled societies request and shall be nationally removed for all time.   Free to move to any state.     To make good money again, pay taxes, and move on.     Force all 50 states to ratify and acknowledge.
In return you will get a hurricane of publicity, or what I call, blow back.   
The perfect backdrop to accomplish much higher goals on your plate.  The perfect storm of diverting people’s attention.   Plus give the justice department a reason to reappropriate funds to stop human trafficking.  
Ramp up industry and 2 years from now a new world of technology will emerge.  

I see you Mr President moving humanity ahead in auto transportation. Space exploration. World peace.]]></description>

Rome
There was not even a registry for my laywer to tell me about when I offended. Nor when arrested, nor went sentenced, nor while in prison. I was released to house arrest and that same week; the registry was put into action. I have been on it since 1997, although charges from 1991.
Doesn&#039;t matter tho as most of us back then were retroactively added. Had no idea about how long it was for, until they announced it would be for life with no chance of removal. Now there is a way off but it is hit or miss depending on the judge you get. 
It should be automatic removal at the appointed time, just like when your sentence is finished. But we know there are people also kept past their sentences in prison so at least I was not in that group. It is called civil commitment. (I call it legal kidnapping)]]></description>

@GF

There used to be a saying that stated, &quot;You can&#039;t keep a good man down&quot;, but we all know that they can keep a large swath of good men (And yes ladies too) down. The registry is nothing but an open invitation to have us harassed, harmed or God forbid, like some, murdered.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This maybe a little off topic but after reading Cherokeejack post about having people who harbor rso to be placed on it themselves it got me thinking as we are approaching a new everything- new year, nee legislation season and new administration. Instead of focusing a lot of our time on lawsuits and laws and I am not saying we need to stop doing this because we need the courts help in our mission but what about trying to change the public perception regardless sex offenders? I saw the post the other day of a safe harbor law being proposed but what if organizations such as FAC and NARSOL start trying or leaning to changing how everyone thinks of us? Yes we all know some registered belong there but some of us have either been on this for way too long or maybe not serious enough to be placed on a registry list or a number of factors... Just a thought as we end the year]]></description>

If I understood the discussion, it seems that there is a shift towards making FDLE prove someone knowingly violated the draconian restrictions before making an arrest.  However, it seems FDLE has no jurisdiction/control over local sheriffs (elected officials) so not sure how effective FDLE is. If I&#039;m wrong - let me know.
Now - if the local sheriff departments had to start proving someone knowingly and intentionally violated restrictions then I think we&#039;d see some relief.]]></description>
