It's time to unite RSO's, and work to share the real facts with the Public. For far too long people have been mislead by bitter vigilantes to believe that all sex offenders re-offend at a very high rate. This Country is going to hell with this sexual predator nonsense, and it's time we speak out. The media giants are making a bundle on this subject, and our representatives are too lazy to look into the real statistics. This is a political profit subject because no one likes sexual offenders. I don't like murderers either, but I don't want to jeapordize the Constitution to persecute them. I believe children are to be cherished, and that childhood should never be stolen from anyone. But our Constitution and Rights are worth more than ANYTHING on earth. Too much blood has been shed for Freedom for us to allow the Bill of Rights to be circumvented for any reason. Those rights were enacted to protect citizens from an overzealous or corrupt Government. The time to act is now. We need change in America, but not change in our Constitution that leads to class based discrimination. No other criminal population suffers these types of consequences. We are being denied equal protection.
I think that most Americans are pretty smart, and many are starting to realize how evil this banish the "former" sex offender blitz truly is. None of us can start a new life given these laws as they are. We are persecuted and discriminated against almost daily--we can not find employment--and our homes are being taken from us. Even those of us that "rent" deserve to have a home.
I encourage all RSO's to begin speaking out, in as peaceful manner as possible, to dispel the myths about former sex offenders the media and so many politicians have propagated to the public. The people are unduly paranoid because of this movement.
It's time to fight back!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!!
Hello: My name is Brendan and I am an 8 year veteran of the SO registry. Whoever visits this site who is at their end and feels all alone and feels that no one understands and that there is no possibility of any meaningful future I have a message.
Please dont check yourself out 5 minutes before the rescue. You ARE a HUMAN BEING and an AMERICAN CITIZEN and you have rights even though they seem to have been suspended.
From the Salem witch trials, to the scarlet letter, to segregation our nation has a VERY rich history of eating its own in the name of security or religious dogma's this is nothing new please do not despair. There are a number of sites and support systems like this popping up all over.
We as FORMER offenders are finally coming out of our collective closets of guilt and shame and beginning to organize. We are not hero's by any stretch of the imagination we are simply ordinary Americans just like you that for various reasons have made mistakes in our past for which we have served our time and made our restitution.
Like you we are angry at the CONSTANT government harrassment that keeps changing the rules every year or two and we refuse to be led silently into the slaughter pen any longer. We are men and women with families and are tired of the collateral damage on our families and friends.
I invite you to join this site and others and lets take the fight to them.
Thanks Brendan
