Thanks to those who have signed on to support this proposed change to HR 218. I have touched base with several people from various parts of the country who want to pitch in and make this happen. On top of that, we now have a President who appears to want to support law enforcement - just look at the list of top issues at whitehouse.gov. We have slowed a bit in the number of people signing so if you know anyone that would like to help make this petition grow please have them come to this page and sign the petition. I have also managed for the first time that I can remember had a local Facebook commenter state that my proposed change to the law was idiotic! I think it makes perfect sense, and hope that we can get these important changes enacted.
