It has come to my attention that our representatives in Augusta have voted down “Jessica’s Law.” In my opinion, as a mother and grandmother, they should be ashamed of themselves .

We need this law to bring protection to our children from child predators.

I think that it is very sad that our representatives have shown us that it is unimportant to take care of and protect the young people in the state of Maine. We should be leading the New England states by setting an example .

I certainly would not vote for anyone who has shown so little care for our children.
