📋 PETITION TITLE:
Dee Dee’s Law: Stop Convicted Felons from Profiting Off Their Crimes

📌 Petition Targets:
U.S. Congress, Department of Justice, Media Platforms & Publishers

 
✍️ PETITION TEXT:
In 1991, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down New York’s Son of Sam Law—a law that once prevented convicted criminals from making money off the stories of their crimes. That decision opened a door for profit, not justice.

Now, that loophole is being exploited in the worst way.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, convicted of helping orchestrate her mother’s murder, is making money off the very act that ended a life.
Books. Films. Interviews. All monetized. All legal.

Meanwhile, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard—her victim—can’t speak.
Her name is dragged, distorted, and sold for clicks.
And there is no law protecting her.

 
We Believe:
Murder should not be a marketing strategy
Victims deserve posthumous dignity
Families should not be silenced while killers build brands
Media platforms must be held accountable when they enable or amplify these narratives
 
That’s why we’re demanding the passage of Dee Dee’s Law, a federal statute that will:

✅ Prohibit convicted felons from profiting off their crimes
✅ Ban indirect profit through third parties, trusts, or symbolic royalties
✅ Protect the name, likeness, and legacy of victims
✅ Recognize “posthumous defamation” as a legal harm
✅ Empower families or certified advocates to sue on a victim’s behalf
✅ Authorize proxies when families are compromised or complicit
✅ Hold media outlets and publishers accountable for broadcasting or profiting from exploitative narratives
