Please sign the petition so that the senate knows there is a great interest in this bill and takes an interest. Thank you
HR 911 "Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs for Teens Act of 2009" passed the House of Representatives over one year ago. Today, it continues to sit in The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee, waiting to be taken up.
This bill, if passed would protect scores of our nation's kids from abusive and unregulated private or public residential "boot camps, boarding schools, behavioral modification programs, etc."
There are scores of adults that bear the scars of abuse at the hands of unregulated institutions that would today be regulated by this bill. Many have contacted me and are losing hope of ever seeing justice through legislative change to protect kids today. We failed these men and women once. Let's not fail our kids today.
I urge you to sign this petition. Force a hearing in the Senate HELP committee on HR 911. Child abuse prevention is important to us, it should be of the utmost importance to those on our payroll in the US Congress.

Do online petitions really have any weight? I've read (Snopes perhaps) that they're pretty useless but I"m not exactly "up" on these things. Anyone have any knowledge?

Good to know. I honestly wasn't knocking it, just asking.

Petitions are good, but a personal letter to your senators works much better!
When petitions tend to be dismissed is when they contain loaded political language and you are petitioning the other side; the other side tends to ignore it, they weren't listening to your side anyway.

You'll have to explain why I should support this legislation. Further, you'll need to explain how this electronic petition will work.
Can't be arsed otherwise.
