| Did you know the overwhelming majority of those convicted of rape in NY do not go to jail or prison. Why has the press not told us this? That is a question only they can answer, but I am spreading the word. This must change and I am helping by sending this to as many people as I can. You can help as well. Visit the link below for the proof, then send this e-mail to all your friends as well. Together we can make a difference in 2006. http://www.sobb.com/states/newyork/statistics.php |
The above two steps are easy and everyone can do them in a few minutes. However, some who visit this site would like to do more. In June Cecil Rhoades will be riding his bicyle accross the state to bring awareness to this issue. Perhaps you would like to join him for part of the ride, or just come out and give your moral support. Ride dates and details are here.
You may also discuss the issue on our forum. If you spot a news article you may post infomation on the forum, along with your opinions. There is are areas for discusing pending legislation, court rullings, opinions and more.
You may wish to call your local press to let them know about this issue. We will need the help of the press to make the awareness ride a success. We are hoping to have several riders through each community and to have press coverage. This will only happen if some concerned citizens help.
