Registered Sex Offenders in 27 states vow civil disobedience
In an incredible and long overdue stand against the
constitutionality of sex offender registration laws, registrants in
27 states have quietly banned together to organize an orchestrate an
exercise in civil disobedience. The supreme court has grossly failed
in it's duties to uphold the constitution repeatedly. It is now up
to us.
Representatives of the group say their plans are peaceful and non
violent. The individuals on the registry have been subjected to
numerous retroactive laws which has amounted to what they feel is
additional punishment. Many have been forced from their homes and
even entire cities recently with the introduction of "residency
restriction" laws. These laws forbid anyone on the registry,
regardless of their individual crime or the time lapsing since their
conviction, from living within anywhere from 1,000 to 2,500 feet
from places where children congregate, such as schools, daycare
centers, and parks.
