Rape and Sexual Assault Petitions
Please consider sending this letter concerning the tragedy in Darfur to your representatives or officials. The form below will take you to an automatic
email system to contact them. This takes about 3 minutes of your time. Thanks.
This petition appears on www.rainn.org. It's purpose is to help Put Rapists in Jail. It is from Lifetime and demands
that Congress take action to get rapists off the streets.
"Too many rapists are free to attack other women, because DNA
evidence that could identify them is sitting on shelves waiting to be analyzed — often for more than 18 months.
Together,
we can ensure that rape victims are treated with dignity and their assailants are prosecuted quickly.
Sign now to support
passage of the bipartisan Debbie Smith Act/DNA Sexual Assault Justice Act of 2003.”
This petition advocates the rights of rape victims. It is associated with
the book After the Silence. It is a petition which you print out and have your friends sign. Mail it to the
address on the bottom.
This is an excellent example of a successful rape advocate petition.
When I signed it there were only 14 signatures. When I checked back a month and a half later it had 1096 signatures
is now closed. I feel it is a great example of what you can do by signing and passing it on. Please email these
petition links to others. The purpose was a very good cause. It is described below:

A new petition has been put up in regards to the case of Kirstin Lobato,
a 20 year old woman who was unjustly convicted of murder. I would really love to see women come out in huge numbers
in support of her, especially because of what she has gone through as a victim of an attempted rape who was framed for an
unrelated murder.
Here is a link to the petition:
