					<description><![CDATA[Not a &quot;group,&quot; but it is hate-by-association as a result from the label.

I.E., &quot;I got &#039;one&#039; that lives a street over from me.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s all about being defendable.

Ones ethnic background is defendable. 
Ones gender is defendable. 
Ones Religion is defendable.

But then we get into another area. Ones activities. Can ones activities be defendable? Sure. Being an employee or enjoying a hobby. These are activities that can be defendable. 
But, can car jacking be defendable as an activity? How about thievery or robbery or sexual offending or murder?

We are not saying &#039; I cook hamburgers for a living so therefore I shouldn&#039;t be discriminated against.&#039;

We&#039;re saying we did horrible things to people and we were punished. 
If the carjacker can move forward after punishment and we were both released from our obligations to our government then why must society keep adding these arbitrary and capricious restrictions and irrational carve-outs?
But wait there&#039;s more; &quot;Least Restrictive Means test. When the Supreme court, in reviewing the constitutionality of legislation, uses the permissive rational basis standard, it demands only that a law be a rational means for achieving a legitimate governmental purpose.&quot;
So if this logic is good enough for the rest of society then why not society&#039;s pariahs?

From a song I wrote; &quot;If I shoulda got life then I woulda got life.&quot;

End this nonsensical madness.

The only good the sex offence registry ever did was to give politicians votes so they can restrict the lives of even more citizens.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here is an article that sums up what some of us face. He was violated for living in a storage container that happen to be close to a school. Maybe if a sex offense was a protected class he would not be forced to live in a container like some wild animal. https://www.tahlequahdailypress.com/news/sheriffs-beat-12-13-22-convicted-sex-offender-caught-living-near-elementary-school/article_fa60e58c-b5c3-5eae-a399-418b721e341d.html]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I recently created a survey in an attempt to see just how much diversity there actually is in our movement. I sent it to all major groups but to my knowledge, only WAR has sent it out to others.

If you are involved in any way in the movement to reform or abolish the registry, whether you are a Registered Person, the loved one of a Registered Person, or a volunteer in any of the registry reformist groups, please take this survey. It is 99 multiple choice and checkbox questions and will take roughly half an hour to complete. The survey is completely anonymous.

The purpose of this survey is to understand the diverse backgrounds, needs, and opinions on how registry reform/abolition groups should organize and conduct business. The results will hopefully assist these groups in planning future strategies around the needs and diverse viewpoints of those on the registry:

Please share with fellow anti-registry and reform activist groups.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I like this... it&#039;s an interesting tact.

Of course my &quot;what if&quot; is if it does qualify and then the legislation is changed to say &quot;everyone but PFR&#039;s&quot;?  Would that only help on a broader scale to help show the registry is punishment?]]></description>
