Greetings Advocates:
Many thanks to the volunteers who hand delivered white roses at the Capitol today. You did a tremendous job raising awareness about the prostitution of children in Georgia. Over 300 roses were delivered to legislators bearing a handwritten note, "Provide for the victims- support SB 91."
Your visibility and persistent refusal to take NO for an answer got results! By the end of the day our top legislative priority, an adult entertainment surcharge (placing a $5 fee on those who frequent adult entertainment venues) to assist child sex trafficking victims (SB 91) was placed on the Senate Finance Committee agenda for Thursday! Fiscal conservatives in opposition to the bill call it a new "tax" but this proposal will NOT cost taxpayers ONE cent.
To maintain the momentum we've launched an online petition tonight so advocates from Dalton to Valdosta can stand with us. This virtual aspect of the campaign will show our elected officials #1 the advocates visiting the Capitol today are just the tip of the iceberg in support and #2 we will NOT take no for an answer.
Visit http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://weurgeyou.com%2F <http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://weurgeyou.com%2F > to sign the petition.
Please limit circulation to people who live within the state of Georgia of voting age. One signature per person.
Forward the link widely and help make this the biggest grassroots effort in Georgia history. Thanks for everything you are doing!
