Call your Representative and say "Pass the Child Victims Act in Minnesota"

Dear friend,

Many pedophiles escape prosecution because the law times out before victims are ready to speak. Thank you for signing the petition to pass the Child Victims Act and help law enforcement protect our kids.

The Child Victims Act to be heard by the Minnesota House Civil Law Committee on Wednesday, March 6th, at 12:00 p.m. and we need to make sure that they also know that we expect them to pass the act.

If we all pledge 5 minutes again, and we all work together again, watch what a difference we can make again.  We can do this!  Here's what you need to do - it'll only take 5 minutes:

1. Click this link and enter your zipcode, it'll bring up the name of your Legislative and Congressional Members.  Look for the entry in the list that looks like this "Paul Anderson - 12B - MN House "  Click on that and you'll find their phone number and email address.
   
2. Call your Representative's office and say, "Hello, my name is __________ and I'm calling to ask Representative ___________ if they are supporting the Child Victims Act?  It's in front of the House Civil Law Committee on Wednesday, March 6th and I'm asking that (s)he make sure they know of his/her support.  Protecting Minnesota's children is important and I'll be following the vote"  If you want to add a personal reason that's good too.

Leave us a comment down below the pledge and tell us how it went.  Mostly you'll end up speaking to a staffer, that's good, they'll want to record your name and where you are from.  You can call, or email, from any part of the world.  Calls are better, and they count for more from voters in Minnesota, of course!  

• Are they supporting the Child Victims Act?  
• Will they inform the Judiciary Committee of their support?
  

If you have a few minutes more please click here for a list of House Civil Law Committee Members.  Their offices would also love to know that you support the bill.  Call the Chair and Vice Chair, then call the Republican Lead, please work your way through the list if you have time.  Here's a suggestion of what to say: "Hello, my name is __________ and I'm calling to ask Representative ___________ if they are supporting the Child Victims Act?  It's in front of the House Civil Law Committee on Wednesday, March 6th and I want to make sure they know of my support.  Protecting Minnesota's children is important and I'll be following the Committee's vote"  Again feel free to tell them your personal story as to why you feel it's important to pass the Child Victims Act.
Thanks for everything you are doing to #stopabuse.  Please click the the big green button to share this message with your friends because the more of us working together, the more sure we can be that we can #stopabuse in Minnesota within this generation.
