What’s next? Denying health care to PFRs who are currently incarcerated? They don’t want PFRs to work and become self sufficient, acquire housing, and now deny medical care. Clearly they want PFRs to die! Bottom line!

Would be nice to say “Ex-offenders” not sex offenders. Saying Sex offenders implies we are still offending, just a thought. I do not label myself, other that admitting I made a mistake WAYYYY back in the day, but it seems to haunt me every day I wake up still on the registry. A registry that was retro-actively applied to many of us, under the guise of calling it “non-punitive”.

You can’t hire a prosecutor

Only states attorney or us attorney can charge someone with a crime.

So the short answer is no.

I am not a lawyer but am wondering if we could get an attorney and charge Rep Staube with conspiracy to endanger or even conspiracy to commit murder since he wants to pass a bill knowing that thousands of people will either get very sick or even die if his bill passes.

Flori-DUH is ridiculous! any and all “lawmakers” that propose something that is clearly against the constitution should just be removed, and barred from ever holding a similar position again. Clearly they don’t understand what they are fighting for. They are wasting everyone’s time with nonsense proposals. Whether they like it or not, Sex Offenders are a part of the population everywhere, they don’t get to pick and choose who they help, and who they hurt. If you are doing the job, you do it for EVERYONE!

In reply to FactsShouldMatter.

The feds did try to pass legislation in 2010 from getting unemployment compensation and FHA loans. They failed. But they DID pass legislation that year to pass a ban on us getting loans from the Small Business Administration.

Currently a Registrant can’t get food stamps if they fail to register; the bill originally called for a total ban on us getting them but a substitution was made.

And I am sure you know that lifetime registrants can’t get HUD.

If I ever lose my government assistance, I might have to do something desperate to survive. I have a collected SSI/SSDI, SNAP, Medicare and Medicaid for 20 years now.

In reply to Esther Ritchie. They can. But there was a part attempt in 2010 to stop Registered Persons from getting unemployment compensation and FHA loans, but they DID ban us from obtaining SBA loans. So we can't get federal loans to start a business even though Registered Persons are more likely to have to start their own business than the average citizen.
