Rape and Sexual
Assault Petitions
Please consider sending this
letter concerning the tragedy in Darfur to
your representatives or officials. The form below will
take you to an automatic email system to contact them.
This takes about 3 minutes of your time. Thanks.
This
petition appears on www.rainn.org. It's purpose
is to help Put Rapists in Jail. It is
from Lifetime and demands that Congress take
action to get rapists off the streets.
"Too many rapists
are free to attack other women, because DNA evidence that
could identify them is sitting on shelves waiting to be
analyzed — often for more than 18 months.
Together, we can
ensure that rape victims are treated with dignity and their
assailants are prosecuted quickly.
Sign now to support
passage of the bipartisan Debbie Smith Act/DNA Sexual Assault
Justice Act of 2003.”
This
petition advocates the rights of rape victims. It is
associated with the book After the Silence. It
is a petition which you print out and have your friends sign.
Mail it to the address on the bottom.
This is an
excellent example of a successful rape advocate
petition. When I signed it there were only 14
signatures. When I checked back a month and a half later
it had 1096 signatures is now closed. I feel it is a
great example of what you can do by signing and passing it
on. Please email these petition links to others.
The purpose was a very good cause. It is described
below:

A new
petition has been put up in regards to the case of Kirstin
Lobato, a 20 year old woman who was unjustly convicted of
murder. I would really love to see women come out in
huge numbers in support of her, especially because of what she
has gone through as a victim of an attempted rape who was
framed for an unrelated murder.
Here is a link to the
petition:
