					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been preaching this very thing for as long as I&#039;ve been following Derek, FAC, ACSOL, et al. I&#039;ve written directly to reporters/authors as well, at least when comments are not available. I also follow the Georgia legislature to keep an eye out for whatever they try to add to the registry here and write to the members of those committees. Several proposals I have written to them about have died in committee. I don&#039;t know if my letters had anything to do with it, of course. But I like to think it did. While admittedly biased in this regard, it&#039;s far easier for me to believe I had a role in dissuading them than it is to believe that our fearless failed lawyers in the general assembly somehow managed to acquire a little sense and decency at some point between the proposal being written and being rejected, or forego their incessant need to pander to the voting public.

But regarding News4Jacksonville specifically, they tend to not post comments that conflict with the narrative of one of their stories for the reason FAC posted above. They&#039;ll only post one or two opposing points, if they can drown it in a bunch of other commentators in support.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://floridaactioncommittee.org/why-your-comments-matter-most-on-the-source-articles/comment-page-1/#comment-68616&quot;&gt;No end&lt;/a&gt;.

Exactly my experience recently when trying to accomplish the same push here.  The source article has the control so the only thing we can do comment until they see comments in such mass they are uncomfortable with them.  The paper in NY did that last month when such comments were left by those who visit FAC forums and leave comments.  

So, yes, leave comments in the vein FAC advises above but realize the source may not allow many in the end that counter their narrative, which makes it a win for PFRs if such written disobedience to their narrative is countered.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The driver behind all sex offender laws is outrage.  It is the visceral feeling of disgust and revulsion that comes with laws like these.

What is the cure?  Personal experience is the most powerful magnifier of injustice.

Whether it is the personal experience of victims or the personal experience of an offender it is what drives sex offender laws.

These things have to change in the Judicial area.  Fundamentally nothing can change unless it changes within the realm of the judiciary.

2 things must change.  The 5th amendment due process clause applies to the registry and registrants have a Constitutional interest in registry laws.  

And ending review of registry laws under rational basis test.    The courts say a registry law doesn&#039;t need to protect.  It only needs to WANT to protect.

Without an interest in registry laws and requiring no basis of fact in a protection law,  the future,  as it is now is grim.

However Florida Action Committee does a great job under the circumstances.  Keep up the good work....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[100% agree.  This is how to make a small ripple that eventually turns into a tsunami.  We all know the facts but those that read these articles only have the information they&#039;ve been given which is largely false.  When a comment section is inundated with data and real-life experiences it may not change all minds, may not even change most, but.... to modify a line legislators like to use....&quot;If it only changes one mind.&quot;  This battle is won on small compounding victories, sometimes so small they are almost imperceptible.
