					<description><![CDATA[As a teenager Nancy Mace was raped. She has also been working in her home state of SC to create increasingly stricter sex offender laws. I firmly believe she has not fully healed from her trauma and has made it her mission to use her trauma as a weapon against all and every level of sex offenses. When I watch and listen to her speak I see and hear it in her voice and body language. There is also a Florida congressman that is wanting to pass a federal law that denies those forced to register, I believe Medicare. These are two of many that we all need to push back on.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Its crazy trying to find work on the registry. My offense occurred long enough ago that it doesn&#039;t show on a background check, but what does show my registration status. Really they should make it so it doesn&#039;t show on a general check. I&#039;ve worked many places through a staffing company but couldn&#039;t get hired on regular staff due to personal bias or the fact that their insurance wouldn&#039;t cover me.]]></description>

Ackchuallly (cue nerd pushing up glasses emoji here), I don&#039;t think most of these laws ever started at the local level, although it does, at times, inspire such laws at the state level. 

Back in 2010, the feds introduced THREE bills in Congress-- a ban on Federal Housing Authority (FHA) home loans; a ban on obraning Unemployment Compensation, and a business loan through the Small Business Administration (SBA)

The SBA loan ban DID get signed into law. The other two were advancing; they both cleared the House, but did not pass in time. Thankfully, they were not reintroduced. 

Back in 2014, the feds tried taking away SNAP benefits from Registrants; it was watered down to apply only to those who committed a sexual or murder offense after February 7, 2014, and they are not in compliance with their sentence or parole.

This goes back farther than ten years at the federal level. It isn&#039;t often the feds push sexual offense laws like this but it isn&#039;t new, either. 

Although, the shelter ban law introduced by Nancy Mace was inspired by FloriDUH shelter bans.]]></description>

&lt;i&gt; Not sure why she felt the need to reintroduce the bill &lt;/i&gt;

Just like what we&#039;re currently experiencing  with the outrage &quot;wave riding.&quot; They&#039;re using &quot;the files&quot; as momentum to increase the animosity towards us. She&#039;s obviously attempting to jump start it in the midst of all the Epstein outrage. Lawmakers are calculating and exploit everything for leverage.]]></description>

What&#039;s worse is, those that don&#039;t support these iinsane proposals against us are going to vote &quot;yea&quot; out of fear of being called a &quot;pedo protector&quot; on social media. It&#039;s actually far worse than politcal blackmail because it&#039; circumvents truth and reality for outrage and retaliation. 

YES, we ARE being victimized politically.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s what i have been screaming for the last 10 years.  First they hit you with a ton of local restrictions then they use the the local restrictions as precedent for federal ones soon as i stated 10 years ago there will be no where to live no benefits we will receive and no protection from anyone when it comes to vigilantism.
They are trying federally to take away medical benefits by proposing a law that disqualifies us from being eligible for the healthcare market place 
the fact that the majority of us cannot find employment to pay for medical this will take bar us from  medical insurance qualifications, which will include Medicaid for emergency room visits
There are  Florida bills that other states are copying that are trying to give the death penalty for sexual predators. soon this will be federal then the predators will turn into offenders and on and on and on.
All of the  action committees and people that are left defending people on the registry have to pool their resources and fight this at a larger scale as one unit. Battling one new local law/ordinance at a time has us waist deep in an ocean rising every month about to swallow us up]]></description>
