“GA HIDDEN PREDATOR ACT” AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ACTION STEPS:
FOLLOW These 4 ACTION STEPS:
(1.) Ask your church groups, Friends, Mothers and Fathers groups to join the movement. Also PTA and any group that cares for youth safety. You may not think you need this law now but 23% of the population did as adults and SOL had expired at age 23. Mothers know how to effect change and Men of Character know where to draw the line between turning heads siding with male bonding pact mentality that is wrong to not be pro victim not pro predator. Sadly some men will oppose change more so than the protective mothers and the feminine heart of reason and maternal instinct. Calling for all Community Leaders with true heart and with powers to rally together we need all to HELP Now? ALL research and opinions after the EMORY ROLLINS PUBLIC HEALTH PANEL DISCUSSION recommended and suggested THIS is the best way to effect change with Molestation Abuse Prevention Laws in the State of GA.
(2.) IF you are a resident of GA “HAND WRITE” your local district legislative representatives. House Legislator, Senator, and Congressman. But if only time for 2 then Most IMPORTANTLY Write GA GOV Nathan Deal and the GA ARCHDIOCESE. Archbishop Reverend Wilton D. Gregory. SEND by Certified Mail if a possible but not required although DO Post Addressed Letter Envelopes on Social Media to Support Awareness and Document they have been written. Public display and exposure inspires attention! Thank you for your Compassion and Empathy.
(3.) Locate your GA Legislators Addresses and emails on this Link.
Regional State House Legislature Representative, Your State Senator, and Congressman.
Contact all 5 persons to be most effective. GA Governor and Atlanta Archbishop Address below and if only time for 2 letters these are imperative then post on social media.

(IN YOUR POST WRITE “I SUPPORT “WINDOW” Legislation and WANT ALL FEATURES OF “GA HIDDEN PREDATOR ACT” house bill (HB 17) draft to be signed into LAW.) Extra Bonus if you We will share and circulate around the country photos of HAND WRITTEN letter CAMPAIGN to show support for all victims and this new GA law that is in GA House Legislature now. ALSO at least post pics on our dedicated page w/o Return address on front before mailing. Legislators respect handwritten letters and will read. SOL law reforms will be the most Impactful Solution to protect your kids and innocent minors. It has a built in prevention mechanism in that it inspires victims to identify their predator absent an expiration date of age 23 that will allow you to if you discover you need clinical therapy treatment you can file for damages up to age 53 an added 30 years to determine how the crime impacted your life. It also takes into account the additional time you might need to have the courage and support to reclaim your personal power. This will set a PRECEDENCE for the whole USA to Follow. As SOL sex abuse resolutions are only permitted State by State.
IF a Resident of Georgia or from OUT of the State PLEASE still write the Editor AJC Kevin Riley, Catholic Archbishop of Atlanta, GA Governor as when GA (addresses below) prevails it will set a standard to contact All states Archbishops, Governors, and Legislators. The Catholic Church and (Special Interests) Insurance Carriers, predator lobbyist groups are still the greatest resistance to change in America as they walk a fine line between greed and distorted boundaries condoning sex with minors by not drawing a line. The mafia showed greater ethics by not harming women and children. We hope to believe in Gov. Nathan Deal and trust he puts duty to public safety before and above all other political temptations. Thank you, Governor Deal And Reverend William D. Gregory. This is an opportunity for 2 leaders and 1 Journalist AJC to make History by a show of great moral character and Public Service. We Georgian’s Trust and Believe in You to make the ONLY right choice. In the mean time here are #letters4support
Please Handwrite a Simple Letter that says Please Support at risk GA youth and Adult Survivors longing for Justice closure options by stopping this pandemic of abuse of minors by passing “Window” Legislation an important clause that is included in 2015 “Georgia Hidden Predator Act” house bill. Please if you have a personal story to tell please do so. If no story please read my history or google American Molestation Sex Abuse Victims like myself are still suffering from no justice closure options. Anyone you write or lobby should understand “Window” legislation. It abolishes SOL laws for past crimes allowing any victim in GA if they can provide evidence and prove perpetrator molestation as a minor allows to name their offender publicly warning community they pose potential danger plus allow victims to seek financial recovery for medical impacts and for economic interruptions to their quality of life by sex offender. This Link Helps format and conceptualize the letter that suits you best. Please don’t over think. Write as little or as much as you like just STRESS their future campaign vote might be jeopardized by not respecting your citizen voice. (Sample Letter to Politician)http://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/advocacy/direct-action/letters-to-elected-officials/main
(California activated “WINDOW” Legislation in 2003 resulting in Identifying 300 never identified predators saving an estimated 39,000 to 50,000 individual victim’s from predator molestations by abolishing civil Statute of Limitations Law for one year. This judicial protection made victims feel safe in coming forward as their disclosure would now have a measurable result for prevention as CIVIL law allows for retroactive identification of predators not allowed criminally since archaic principles of SOL expiring 5 yrs. after majority of age 18. Rarely can a victim wake from the trauma protective denial that quickly. This results in Predators freedom as in my case to molest generation after generation. These laws were clearly created and now protected by political powers with the curse to offend minors. There are not any compelling reasons to condone this unless we agree as a society that predators can have free access to your child when you are not looking. Please don’t allow GA to miss this “rare” opportunity. Anyone in GA can bring civil charges against an institution or perpetrator no matter your age or when it occurred in history. This is an opportunity for healing and closure for countless, countless Georgians. Plus any personal comments you desire that may be relative to your life experiences or just say you heard Alan Fountain disclose his “cautionary tale” and disturbed by his story and history corruptly covered-up in GA.) All authorities point to Archbishop Wilton Gregory and Governor Nathan Deal with powers and influence if inspired to make this Happen. We would like by 5,000 (plus) letters to get their attention.
PLEASE ACT NOW. Out of Ten Million Citizens let’s do as many as possible! It is estimated that One Million Plus Ga adults need your voice as they are traumatized by shame and guilt and suffering lacking the healing justice protection to speak out. Confirmed statistics affirm (1 in 4) girls and (1 in 5) boys will experience perpetrator assault before 18 and without this law reform the generational cycle will continue for another Century in Georgia. GA is in the top 5 worst states for youth molestation! Scan your child’s classroom and imagine which 9 will experience this if no change. I was a victim the summer after 4th grade until grade 10 By a Serial Predator Coach. The law needs to be in place as YOU or someone you know will depend upon it.
