APRILS LAW FEDERAL PETITION
US Copyright Office Registration #TXu 1-590-504

We, the undersigned, as citizens and registered voters do hereby petition for the passage of laws regulating the maintaining, or promoting, or building or hosting or supporting or sponsoring or being connected in any way to any web site that promotes, encourages, panders, or solicits the sexual exploitation of children. These laws shall apply to private, public or commercial enterprises whether they be individual or corporate.


We, feel that the use of these web sites encourages crimes against children of a depraved sexual nature; that the existence of these sites serves no public or community good or use; that the only visitors of the sites are child predators or potential child predators; that the sites entices, incites or inflames the sick passion of child predators; that the sites present a clear and present danger to our children.


We believe that no Internet service provider, Internet hosting service, Web hosts or any other private, public or commercial service that provide data center space and/or connectivity to the Internet or to any local area network, should be able to legally host or provide any type of service to any individual, web site or organization that encourages sex crimes against children.  This includes any web site, service or individual that portray children in a sexually suggestive manner, any support system, web sites, blogs, audio or video service or hosting services that verify and encourage pedophiles to continue with their criminal urges against children and any type of pornography that is digitally enhanced, touched up or otherwise altered to make the individuals engaging in sex acts to resemble children in a realistic manner. We demand that these web sites be made ILLEGAL in the USA for the USA and the global community.


We, feel that because of this danger that the maintenance of a child predator web site is a conspiracy to commit a sex crime against a child and is so grievous in nature that it should be classified as a felony.


We, therefore petition for the following sanctions against these web sites:

1.)      All persons involved in these web sites shall pay a fine of $250,000, have all computer equipment seized and donated to a local school,

2.)      All persons involved be required to be a registered sex offender,

3.)      All persons involved be restricted from access to the internet,

4.)      Be sentenced to 25 years; be required to serve a mandatory 5 year sentence in jail followed by 2 years probation.



Why the International Community is effected by Aprils Law

This petition is here to gain support and teach the world about this groundbreaking legislation that will impact the global as well as the local communities to make our internet and our streets safe from child predators.


"As a Canadian I feel that by passing April's law in
the U.S. it will greatly benefit the global community,
because internet child exploitation is not just a U.S
and Canadian issue, it's an international issue that
affects all children; and I feel that by the passing of
April's Law it will set a global precedent for other
international nations to follow in passing similar
laws that will deem websites that exploit and abuse
children for the purpose of pedophillic enjoyment
clearly and morally unacceptable and made
illegal to publish , host, and distribute via the
internet. We, as Canadian's, feel as strongly about
preventing our children from being exploited on the
internet as our U.S neighbor's across the border feel, and I am in complete agreement that this law should be passed. And I feel that government's should take the initiative and responsibility in keeping their nation's children safe, and that they do have the power's to make these laws happen.

I am very against the "legal" non-nude preteen sites. They are not only morally wrong, but they are very dangerous. They fuel the sickness of the individuals that are stimulated by them. Their fantasy can easily become more sinister and the result can be devastating.

Children cannot protect themselves and we need to do something to protect them. Adults are the problem and I think we need to insist that they be responsible for what they do. Peace, howie

child pornography is an insideous crime perpetrated by people who have convinced themselves that children enjoy being used, so these adults feel no guilt. we have to take away the freedom these criminals enjoy in order to protect the children, it is the only way!! stop allowing criminals the right to abuse, criminals should all be forced to relinquish all their rights. period.

Yahoo, Google, Bing, etc...ALL are not only profitting off of the advertisement of these sites, but they even PROMOTE and HIGHLIGHT these in TOTALLY UNRELATED SEARCHES as I came to realize after doing a basic NON-RELATED, SAFE search for "young models", Yahoo and Google being of the worst. Apparently, a "young model" to Yahoo and the others (but Yahoo especially) means children in sexually suggestive outfits, poses showing part or all of their genitalia!!!! HOW DARE THEY allow this to happen!!! They have the technology to change it, they're just not MANDATED by the government to do so. These are unfortunately LEGAL sites exploiting children in way that loopholes the current law Title 18 Part I Chapter 110 ยง 2256 (which is an issue that should have been on the US President's desk a long time ago). They are taking advantage of this loophole and our free-speech constitutional Amendment to spread their smut empires at an alarming rate, they are being supported by these search engine conglomerates, and yet they are DIRECT GATEWAYS to legally-illegal HARDCORE CHILDPORN that's so sickening and horrific you don't even want to think about it!! HOW CAN WE LET THIS HAPPEN TO OUR CHILDREN AND THIS COUNTRY??? HOW CAN WE ALLOW CHILD EXPLOITATION AND THE PROMOTION OF PEDOPHILIA TO BE LEGAL!!?? SOMETHING MUST BE DONE IMMEDIATELY ABOUT THIS HORRIFIC PHENOMENON THAT IS ACTUALLY GROWING AT AN ALARMING RATE ONLINE!!! This isn't just about illegal pictures online. This is about protecting our children and preventing this sick "popularization" of the mental sickness pedophilia.

I was astonished when I found out that such filth can be legal on the internet. If there were television programs promoting the same issues we would not tolerate it. Children are our most valuable resource & our future. They should be treated & protected as such.
