I think we should all write the White House and tell them how we are affected by the registry. Maybe someone will listen. We have nothing to lose except a stamp.

@Paul let me off

In my opinion (And sure others would concur) The registry was punishment on “DAY ONE”. But to expand on that, especially for those of us who had it applied retroactively. At least those who committed a sex crime knowing damn well there was a registry, should have known better.
But to make it more complicated, would I have not committed my crime if there was a registry when I committed it? I do not honestly know the answer to that. And since there is a registry now and people are still taking chances, maybe that answers the question. So that gives more evidence that the registry is not a deterrent and is just a money and job maker.
The registry did not cure me but prison sure as Hell did. Was that not enough that I did my time and never committed another crime since? Time machines people, we need lots of them. Imagine the changes to the World we could make.

It’s time Mr President to repeal SORNA. The constitution demands it.
Its civil intent has lost its integrity. It’s now punishment and punitive.
Let’s take the money and move it into the big beautiful bill. Billions put into action. Build a god damn better train travel system. Repair an aging infrastructure. Kick the trades back in gear. Get people back to work.
I demand a pardon from this list. Too many success stories retroactively forced to reregister want to work and be successful.

Where I first resided, there was a guy who was a former officer, he brought up a lot of homes in the area too. Some multi-dwellings and he rented them out to people who were not only returning from parole, but people who had to register. He gave many people’s home when they could be sitting in jail due to certain laws and statues that say that they must have housing. He provided. Unfortunately he did a lot of minimum work to the houses so it was livable. And I believe he made a lot of money.

@Cherokee,

Good point.

Happy Fourth!

People in California live in a Separate World from other Americans

61% income tax rate if you earn over $100K….a shack in LA costs $100K

Well they got In-n-OUT burgers

As I recommend to all…invite your neighbors; do a cook out; illustrate that you are not a BEAST

-my next door neighbor is a former Law Enforcement Officer of 30 years; we garden together; she is a Hoot

The Other Neighbor oversees The Superior Court Here; Judges, DOJ vehicles etc visit the neighborhood; we always say hello and they shake my hand-no fist bumps
-they like my Red mangos
