I have been an activist for many years. I was born in 1951, and came of age in the Washington, DC area in 1969. The place was overflowing at that time with worthwhile causes to be active in. I was active in the civil rights movement, the women's movement (and am discouraged with some of the current parts of that movement) and the anti-Vietnam War movement (while supporting the troops themselves, at times a delicate balancing act). So, I am not an newbie to activism. I am, however, a newbie to having an activist blog. The cause which I am addressing myself to in this instance is liberty and justice. A broad topic, one might think, but one which I have found to be sorely under addressed. In particular, I am very concerned with the registries now popping up all over the place. The sex offender registry is one which impacts me personally. I have two sons who are listed on it.

Blog Description: Thoughts, Reviews and Updates on Current Sex Offender legislation and my views in general on law. our country, freedom and really whatever else pops in my head.

No More Labels is an organization that seeks to educate the public about the myths surrounding those members of our community that are labeled as "sex offenders" and the hardships being caused for the families and loved ones of these modern day "lepers" that are being ostracized once they have served their court ordered sentences. No More Labels does NOT support or condone the crimes or acts of violence committed by these or ANY criminal offender. We recognize the damage done to the victims of these, and ANY CRIME. No More Labels simply advocates for justice through fair punishment of criminal offenders, joined with treatment, rehabilitation and accountability coupled with community reentry programs to ensure that these individuals can once again become productive, law abiding citizens. No More Labels is striving to providing support for the families of the men and women who are trying to support the offenders when they do return to the community. We also work with the victims of these crimes to find support and healing. We DO NOT provide legal advice, but can provide access to lawyers and other professionals that can help.
