Broken hearts and sympathy not enough

When is America going to have enough of the kidnapping, rape and murder of our children?

Our broken-hearts, tears and sympathy are not enough. It is time for us to demand that child pornography, in any form, be banned from the Internet or anywhere else and be made a criminal offense.

Freedom of speech, my foot. These maniacs are trying to hide behind a constitution that never meant what they are claiming it does.

We need to demand that child molesters are given life in prison with no chance of parole and child rapists and murderers be executed. We neither want nor need these perverts released into our neighborhoods to strike again.

This is terrorism in another form, but it is something we can stop if we deluge our congressmen to change the laws that protect the perpetrators of child pornography, rape and murder of our precious children.

Nothing will change until we rise up and get into action!
