Yes that is the sad part. All the high paid very great lawyers that could easily challenge the wrongs of the government don’t want their own names involved with sticking up for us
The thing is a pro se motion and another one and try a class cation suit
The problem is getting people that are not lawyers that have the knowledge to just help us go in a direction

You are correct the label prevents ever looking at the registered citizen or their families as victims. Think of this bizarre twist on that same subject. When the offender is 11, 12, 13 etc. he becomes the labeled one – no sympathy merely because the system labels him/her. However, in other cases that same young one is a victim to reap all the sympathy that entails. It makes no sense.

I was talking with my 92 yr old mom (she has seen a lot of stuff! lol) about this and she said that the times in history when particular groups have been ostracized to the fringes of society the mainstream of society will justify the way they feel in various ways. She brought up things like WWII and the Jews (the way Americans felt about it before the USA got into the war) , segregation and the Blacks, the Japanese American citizens being put in the camps in WWII, and also the way Gays have been treated throughout history, etc. in every instance she said people tend to find an excuse to blame it on the ostracized group because it allows them to feel comfortable about something that in their hearts they know is wrong. The same applies with registered citizens – society can look at them and be comfortable with the treatment because after all they committed the crimes (it does not matter that they have completed their sentences – usually quite harsh) – crimes that in our society today are looked at as even worse than murder. It will not end until a majority of society realizes the injustice they have allowed (driven by unfounded fear) to happen. That will not happen until they either experience it in their own lives or the “old guard” is replaced by young people who know the truth.

Yet the United States lets our own citizens ostracize the Registered Citizen AND their families from society. We cannot get jobs, we cannot find housing, we are punished continually “after” serving our time. It’s a human rights violation as well as an ex post facto violation and a cruel and unusual punishment violation.

Our government needs to be held accountable just like Assad in Syria. Our children are innocent too, as well as our wives and immediate family. They are punished as well because they support us. The Books go unpunished every day and they continue to oppress Registered Citizens even though Ron Book administers to the homeless fund in Miami and could do something about the situation. Ron Book and Lauren Book are just like Assad. Politics in a America is a cruel game. We call out other countries for their atrocities, but do the same to our own citizens and no one comes to our aid.

My son was arrested and he didn’t commit the crime either. When I read these stories I am scared to death for him. And you can’t find an attorney will really help either. Everyone is afraid to take on the justice system.

It’s sad, but now a days EVERYBODY is a freakin victim. The #metoo movement has gotten ridiculous. Everybody wants to play the “victim card” yet, WE THE PEOPLE have become the biggest victims to an out of control, evil government that shows no willingness to govern via common sense, or look at real facts, or make decisions based on anything other than politics, lobbying, and pushing forth an agenda. And they will continue doing this until we raise holy hell or they are forcefully removed, yes I said forcefully. It’s what our ancestors did 242 years ago and it WORKED. But unfortunately OUR OWN govt is the enemy and it’s gotten way too big and backed by an enormous military and there’s now way it can be taken down or changed unless we are taken over by another country…..but in any event, since we’re talking about victims here, we forget, Jesus was the greatest victim of all. He was falsely accused by his peers and the government He lived under, beaten and tortured, yet never did a wrong thing ever in His life, he was killed by one of the most agonizing methods of death ever invented by man, and was deserted by 12 of His closest friends. He also said “if the world hated Me, they will also hate you.” So for those of us who are RSOs and professing Christ followers, we should feel honored that we are suffering, even though it is NOTHING compared to what our Savior suffered. I believe it was the Apostle Paul who said “our present sufferings are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” So, although we suffer for a little while (this life), we will be rewarded in the next life to come. So everyone involved in this struggle, just hold on. Look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.

It speaks clearly to the issues we need to continue to educate the public on.
And great to see you continuing to express the truth. We need voices such as yours combating the myths held by media and society regarding registered citizens.

Neither is being the victim of a false accuser. I got 15 years probation for a crime I didn’t even commit.
