The problem is, the highest power in the land is the Supreme courts, and they just turn a blind eye, or remand the case back down to a lower court, knowing they are going to deny us.

My issue is with standards. 50 states and every one of them have different rules, laws and ordinances. Some have a pathway to freedom and others, it is lifetime registration. For God’s sake, I am waiting for Florida to make us register every month. This really is pivoting on the ledge of probation, and yet again, the judges won’t back us on that theory.

They are afraid of the “P” word. You know, that word PUNISHMENT? It is not in their vocabulary because nothing for registered folks seems to be punishment, otherwise we would all eventually be removed from registration. But there seems to be no end in sight. In closing, remember there are dead people still on the registry, what message does that send?

The system is killing our souls

2. Work with these groups to develop and publish nationwide – online, a national platform and strategy with milestones and objectives. Staff that new platform organization to organization. Build a coalition. Get more visible public and media attention. What do we have to lose?

Courtroom to courtroom, state by state, city by city is ridiculously slow. We need a clear, public, unapologetic written and coordinated national strategy for change. A blueprint. A declaration. A roadmap that outlines what reform looks like, how to get there, and how organizations can align their efforts instead of operating in isolated pockets.

3. Use the collective weight of these organizations to confront the media and government head on, with a coordinated campaign that:
• Educates the public about the cruelty, irrationality, and bureaucratic ignorance driving current policies.
• Exposes the unproven, unethical, and often unconstitutional punishments being stacked on top of one another.
• Executes the agreed upon strategy with milestones and timelines.
This is exactly how every major civil rights movement in American history has succeeded. This parallels to the racial discrimination of the 50’s is evident. The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department exists for a reason — to confront civil rights abuses. And what we are witnessing today is a civil rights crisis.

FAC already has a legislative arm. Other groups have legal expertise, research capacity, and national networks. The pieces are all there. Every year of silence allows the opposition to tighten the screws with more ” illogical and morally bankrupt restrictions. We cannot keep waiting for change that we just cannot see or feel, or we could all find ourselves homeless and institutionalized.

Just saying.

What exactly is driving this obsession with destroying the lives of people on the registry and, by extension, their families. There is a palpable appetite to ravage registrants, and someone needs to expose the engine behind it. Is this the work of a single funder, a coordinated political bloc, or a cultural fever that no one is willing to question. The public and government alike seem unable—or unwilling—to look past the injustice.

A rational first step would be obvious: clean up the registry by removing minor, non‑violent offenses that were never meant to be lumped in with predatory crimes. Yet instead of reform, Florida doubles down. The fixation on arbitrary distance requirements is especially shocking, given that academic research has repeatedly shown these rules have no measurable public‑safety benefit.

At some point, someone needs to confront the lawmakers driving this relentless escalation. A delegation, a civil‑rights group, a research institution—anyone with standing—should be asking them directly what motivates this crusade. Because whatever they claim, the outcome is unmistakable: a system that punishes a population of Americans so severely and so permanently that it’s hard to believe anyone still thinks this is justice.

I hope that I didn’t misunderstand you. Not everyone is the same.

Well whoever will listen, come walk a day in our shoes and tell me I am not being punished. Rocks thrown at my car, my car and even at me personally. Tires slashed, windows of house broken, paint thrown on my vehicle, Mail stolen, and more. None of these crimes against us would happen if our past was not on a “Forever” website with almost all of our information for anyone to come and harm us and our families.

I could write one hundred pages on this subject, but I would be speaking to the choir. We all live it day in and day out. One last note, if the registry is not punishment, why is it for life, with few options to be removed?

TS, we always ask our members to do their part and share this information with their lawmakers, like or follow it on social media, etc.
We posted these links in the comments and only got a couple of likes/shares. If our own members don’t care, the general public is not going to care.
