    If I were in a forum with Book I would ask one question over and over until he answered…Would these laws have stopped your daughter from being molested? If he answered yes I would then ask a one word question….how? If he answered no to the original question I would ask …why? The only answers to that question is because it is someone the victim knows, because new offenses are committed by those NOT on the registry, etc.

    Also, not receiving notices from FAC 🙁 I have checked all my settings etc. and junk email – I cannot figure out why… I am going to use a diffrent email for this post and see if anything comes through…

      Watch the documentary Untouchable.
      He already answered that question.

    Ron Book was allowed to shout over Jeanne Baker and spout his overly-rehearsed inaccuracies and the downright lies that he uses to frighten the public and perpetuate his agenda. Ms. Baker attempted to bring out the facts, but was overshadowed by Ron Book’s hateful tirade. He also made it alarmingly clear his organization doesn’t try very hard to provide the assistance it is getting taxpayer money to do. I don’t believe this interview helped show the public why forcing people into homelessness and then arresting them for being homeless is inhumane and un-American.

      It’s interesting that Ron Book’s campaign is based on the molestation of his daughter by a nanny. Such victims are shielded by having their identities kept secret, but the Books put her name out in public right away. When I was in prison in Michigan, I met a man named James Grissom who asked me to help him appeal his case. His “victim” also went public, and she became a national spokesperson for rape victims. Her name is Sara Ylen. I encourage all readers to Google those 2 names to see what happened with the appeal. It reads like a Lifetime movie script. Sara Ylen began her lies about sexual abuse when she was only 7. It was her way of getting attention. I am not claiming that Lauren Book made everything up to get the attention that she craved, but I am pointing out that it can happen.

        So let me get this straight…..
        Ron Books daughter, Lauren, was molested by a “nanny” over several years. But Ron Book didnt care; he was advancing his career in politics.
        Now Lauren comes forward with the “nanny story”. Here is Ron Books chance to advance in politics! So, instead of helping her to forget this alleged incident and move on with her life (like we are all told to do) Ron decides that he is going to “campaign for Laura” by dragging her out into the center of the public eye and displaying her like some P.T.Barnum side show freak; instead of her trying to get over this alleged incident.
        Ron Book has used his families hardships for profit.
        (Something akin to John Walsh leaving his child alone, with no supervision in a Sears store–then making a career out his negligence for his child)
        Ron Book has ruined many lives thru his hateful rhetoric, false claims and unsubstantiated facts.
        Then him and his kid, now a state senator (D) have come up with this “feel good sham” The Homeless Trust.
        They claim to help out the Homeless, but their main goal is to find housing for registered sex-offenders. There are over 500 registered sex-offenders in Miami-Dade County alone. Over the last 4-5 meetings with “The Homeless Trust”; they placed a whopping 6 people into homes (for 6 months). Ron Book stated that there would have been more if “some guy” didnt go and make an investment in some property; evidently Ron Ron is trying to find anyone to blame for HIS LAWS he lobbied for and the want, or lack of, desire for people to be helped by a man who literally put them into homelessness in the first place.

        Read Dean Tongs Book
        “dont blame me Daddy”
        Its about this one guys quest to keep his name clear from false allegations. Even with irrefutable evidence to clear his name, he spent, I think over $350,000 for his defense.

        My take on this is people in Florida better watch there back side when the public starts wise ing up to what Ron Book really is. He parallels the profile of a sicopath just like Jim Jones. When he starts losing battles he’ll go ape bananas.

    Ron Book is a liar. Decent people don’t support the Registries. Americans don’t support the Registries. People who do are enemy combatants.

    For anyone interested, I have been exchanging a few emails with Ronald Book for a few days now. I didn’t think he actually read the emails that are sent to his address, but he does ([email protected]). I cannot say that I encourage anyone to email him, because it is very clear that he is extremely biased to one-side, and I have seen absolutely zero indication that he plans to offer and evidence for his extreme views. Based on his brief emails, he believes anyone convicted of any ‘sex crime’ is a “predator” who should “never have contact with children”. His favorite line to me was “…and you somehow think of predators can be rehabilitated.” Keep in mind I said my email pertains to ALL of the 900,000 registrants, even as young as 10 years of age. Ronald Book believes all 900,000 registrants are predators and they belong on the registry for life as well as should have no contact with children. These are his own words.

    Here is my reply today, to which I am very interested to see what he will say:

    “Good Day Ronald,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Have you seen these two popular articles below?

    https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/03/06/us/politics/supreme-court-repeat-sex-offenders.html

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/megans-law-no-deterrent-to-sex-offenders/

    I surely hope you will take a thorough and detailed look through them, if you haven’t.

    For someone that seems to take a strictly one-sided position (based on what you have written in these emails so far), it would be beneficial for your cause if you are able to argue the points in these articles, seeing as you are pushing for certain laws that go against what these articles present. I am sure you will be invited to more TV appearances, and you will be asked to factually refute information, unlike what happened this past week at the news station.

    If you can refute the claims in these articles with other peer-reviewed facts, I will GLADLY champion for your laws and efforts as well as donate whenever possible.

    However, if you are not able to refute these claims, I promise to aggressively donate to multiple organizations that I am aware of that bring lawsuits to cities/states which try to pass laws that go against science, the type of science that is laid out in black-and-white in articles such as the ones above.

    To me, as a rational/logical thinker that tries to take an unbiased open-minded approach, if a person cannot refute such scientific claims (and there are many outside of just these 2 articles), then I have to assume that such person has a strong personal bias/agenda, which tells me that such laws will not stand up to scrutiny, and will be outlawed.

    I look forward to your thoughts.

    Best Regards,
    [redacted]”

      Joe123: Nice! Great letter. Sticking to facts.

      People who support the Registries don’t really care about facts though.

      Decent people don’t support the Registries.

    points i have 1. he obviously knew he was in the wrong because he kept talking louder and louder so that he could be heard over the facts being presented by Jeanne Baker. @. the fact that he said sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated just shows his bias against that community clear as day so why is he/ his daughter receiving funds and so on to try and house them or anything involving RSO’s like passing new legislation?
    he also kept saying “these predators” not everyone on the list is a “predator”
    Money Money Money Money Money
    he has it and is getting more federal funds lining the pockets of politicians everyday and RSO’s don’t and are receiving less of it everyday causing further regression
    I disagree that Jeanne Baker shut him down because to the layman he took up most of the interview and again as wrong as he was was louder and thats what people react to today(see president trump)
