We’ve had a surge in activity on the human rights petition the past week or so.

FAC members who attended the NARSOL conference recently spread the word about the petition. Thank you to those members.
News Sharing is good. Course the old saying is no news is good news. So on this Fourth of July Weekend should we all say we are all guilty? Sure I’ve been on this forum and the other advocate forums for quite a while as many of you all have. None of us should be on this forum should we or do we all make mistakes or do we count our chickens before they are hatched. Try to understand man’s ways, advocate ways or equal ways and means. whether just or unjust. If you ask me FAC has a good format and yes there is justice at stake and also correction as well
Seems that many want their cake and eat it to so to speak. Some comments are good and bad on many of these advocate forums but many are opinions or like keeping up with the Jones. Should we all say prison or probation is bad or is it the principal of it all that we all should work on.
Their are many kinds of advocacy. There’s biblical advocacy, civil advocacy, Judicial advocacy, Justice for all. Their is also blind justice as well. One wonders which type is each person standing up for or is Liberty and Justice for all.

Here is a case I would pay attention to. People convicted of a crime now are resentenced to possibly face the death penalty. The state tries to claim case is not ripe yet much like our case saying we haven’t been arrested yet so we have no standing. Maybe if our case makes it to the Supreme Court we can get an idea of how to frame our argument since this touches on expost facto punishment.
The U.S. Sentencing Commission has released two reports this year suggesting that an increasing number of federal judges are rejecting the harsh recommended penalties in child pornography offenses. These reports include statistics showing that the Guidelines for such offenses are outdated and unable to distinguish between more and less severe cases and that, as a result, judges are rejecting the Guidelines. The reports also include statistics showing that non-violent sex offenders generally pose a much lower risk of recidivism than offenders convicted of non-sex offenses.
I was a departure in sentencing and recommended by the federal prosecutor. If i had a better lawyer i may have even gotten adjudicated. I didnt even ask for the departure and now the more i see this i probably could have fought this. Then came florida…

Good article
However many registrants are denied internet even once out of prison while on probation and many are on probation for years.

Where are the Homeless in Miami? Seems the Miami-Dade Trust is not keeping accurate numbers of the homeless but yet he keeps getting grants for it.
That’s Book’s daddy. Always pushing for sex offender laws that creates homelessness – possibly to ask for more money for his Homeless Trust, but I’m just speculating.
