Everyone knows I do not send out blanket emails or send a lot of forwards so I hope that if you get an email from me on this topic you will respond.
I started to watch Oprah's show from Monday last night. I think I made it through about 6 or 7 minutes before I had to turn it off. However, the message was not lost. In fact, I am horrified by what I saw and I feel compelled to take action.
If you missed the show, Oprah detailed an evil and sickening activity taking place in our country and around the world. The sexual exploitation of children on the internet. If you would like more details, please visit the website. I cannot stomach typing out what I saw and heard. I feel forever scarred and even now feel tears coming to my eyes.
My purpose in this post is to ask you...beg you to contact your senator about the Protect Our Children Act / Senate Bill 1738. Here is the link from Oprah's website to learn how and more about the act. It is easy and takes only a few minutes to write your senator.

I believe it is of vital importance.

I'm not going to watch it. I think I've seen it or a similar episode before. Some things never leave your memory and I remember feeling the same way. Things like this and the proliferation of child pornography are the darkest side of the closeness we all feel to one another through the internet. A man who lived right behind our house was indicted on child exploitation and distribution of child porn. He attended an Easter egg hunt we went to and played 4-square w/ my husband. He was a teacher. Being a parent opens up your eyes to a whole world of disgust and outrage. We don't do nearly enough to protect children. Thanks for bringing it up.
