I agree that involvement and advocacy is so important – I do think it is quite a boost to have a lawyer there to help (as in CA) – I think that it is hard though for some to get involved – I think that many Registered citizens and their families tend to feel so hopeless. I use my time to educate as many as I can to the truth – to let them know that they have been mislead by politicians and the media – I give them the tools to learn the truth and then tell them to draw their own conclusions –

In reply to fac-admin. Yes, very good point about the more liberal culture vs. conservative here in Florida. You would think the more Democratic areas like Tallahassee, Tampa, Orlando, & Miami would lead the charge for changing these sorts of things, but I don't see it as much.

In reply to MJ.

California also has more liberal judges and culture, where Florida is very conservative and behind the times.
A lot of human rights and equality movements originated there.

The same preemption argument that overturned the California ordinances LOST in Florida in 2009. Same with the Miami-Dade lawsuit just now – same fact pattern, different result.

Florida also has more important issues, they just don’t carry as much political weight with the citizens.

This is good news as it seems from past experiences that whatever California does, Texas, Florida, and New York are sure to follow. And also maybe it’s because California has another major issue that’s more important like, uh, having WATER!! To me that’s more important than mandating where a sex offender can or cannot live. Just sayin.
