I know a few of you got upset at my email on the real truths of how our criminal system works. I am just as angry b/c all of my sisters and one brother have been molested. My own mother did not believe any of us. My mom sent my brother to  a youth home. Then the truth came out and my step dad was put into a mental institution and was on probation. And, of course, like a lot of abused women. She let him back in to only molest me!. She didn't believe me either. But, it makes me as mad as you that our society and our government officials, city or county officials do not change the rules. My husband and I tried for two years to change the rules in the 5 northern counties we live in. We went to over 15,000 homes and businesses and grange meetings etc to get him elected so he can change the laws. He won four out of 5 counties, but the other gentleman, and I use that word lightly,  literally bought the position in his county. He won. But, my husband can still make a difference by making every arrest go to trial and not let these jerks plead out like the Public Defenders want them to. Our courts are jammed with cases. I feel molestation is worse than murder b/c the victim has to live the rest of their lives with the damage. It is sad to say, that the families suffer but I believe God carries  them  and takes them safely to heaven and they feel no more pain. I know the families do, and this is where our judicial system fails a lot. W e as voters need to be informed and vote for the good guys. Learn who your representatives are and how they vote, and what they stand for. Don't just vote a straight ticket, or b/c you same their name a lot, a common tactic is name recognition on billboards etc. Vote from your heart. Please. this being a voting year, go on-line and see what your Representatives are doing and look up their history of their earmarks when they vote issues in congress etc. Thats all I have to say. I have been through this as well, we can make a collaborative change.
