Last Friday, President Obama signed into law the Child Protection Act of 2012. It doubles existing funding for investigating people trading child porn over the Internet (40% of whom are found to be abusing at least one child); it creates tough, new penalties for people who threaten or harass a child witness; and it fast-tracks subpoenas for fugitive sex offenders, among other things. This bill was passed into law because of PROTECT, a membership organization that lobbies for laws that protect children from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. We say all that to say this: (1) Not all lobbyists are in it to line their own pockets—in fact, PROTECT runs on a budget of less than $500K. (2) That $500K comes from individuals like you. So if you want to be a part of a movement that is successfully changing the landscape as regards child protection, click here. And if you don't ... don't waste our time.
