Man I can’t use my alias Semore Lee Butts at public hearings anymore. Oh man what a world and there goes my week.

Thank you.

One of the reason people do NOT attend these is, you (As far as a I know) cannot remain anonymous and have to give your full name to speak. It is part of the public record and many do not wanted to be “outed” and harassed later on. That happened to me and a bunch of people showed up at my work and got me fired.
That is also what is weird. They tell us we cannot be a Jane doe or john doe in Florida and have to use our names in court but I see recently cases where they are starting to let people do that. Such as Does vs Swearingen. Guess it depends on the judge???

They are now both titled Jane Doe because one of the Plaintiffs in the first case was the sister of a registrant.
I know it’s confusing because the Clerk’s office in the Appellate Court (11th Circuit) entered Jane Doe as the first plaintiff, whereas in the lower court (Southern District) it was labeled Does #1-5.
EPF II only has one plaintiff who happens to be Jane Doe. Since EPF II will not be able to proceed anonymously, that case caption will soon change to the Plaintiff’s actual name (which I don’t want to promote because I don’t want to cause her even more attention), so Jane Doe v. Swearingen will be EPF I and XXXXX v. Swearingen will be EPF II.
For our purposes and to keep things simple, We’ll continue to refer to the cases as EPF I (which is currently on appeal in the 11th Circuit) and EPF II which is in the Northern District of Florida.

I thought Jane Doe was EPF II.

How many FAC members are in Tallahassee or within driving distance if a bill’s hearing drops out of nowhere allowing public testimony? I hope people take advantage of personally attending making their voices heard otherwise things could get worse. Let’s go Florida’s registrants and put the legislators on notice we won’t take the bs no more. They need to stop giving us lines and get out our lives.

None of them.

Oh no, I better see if I can get my deposit back for the party bus I rented for the group we were taking :)~

It would be nice though that if a ton of us could show up in force at some of the court hearings and put real faces to families and loved ones who are hurting due to the draconian laws we are held down by each day of our and our families lives.
