Protect the Child. Demand that Stop Signs Should be Red.

The colors of this world are many and beautiful.From the sweet pastels of pink and blue that remind us of layettes and freshly scrubbed baby cheeks to the deep jeweled tones of autumn foliage found at feet of the fondest memories, it is the color that we remember. It is the color that reminds us of what was, what is, and what should be.Therefore, out of concern for the safety and welfare of us all, this petition has been drafted in order to demand that we put the power of color to use and demand that all stop signs from this day forward be RED.A powerful and symbolic color, most of us already associate RED with stop- just as we associate the color green with go. The time to make a difference is NOW. It is imperative that we take the time to form a united front and demand that everyone knows when to STOP. It is time that we make a united stand and be heard as one voice when we demand that all stop signs should be RED.By now, you should be asking yourself why you just spent the last few moments reading a petition about making stop signs red. After all, stop signs are already red. What would be the point in signing a petition that makes demands for the creation of something that already exists?That's the point. There isn't one.Sometimes, we get all caught up in the need to make a difference- the need to bring about a change; that we don't take the necessary time in order to find out whether or not that change is already there just waiting to make a difference on its own. We don't take the time to find out what it is that is necessary to make that change beneficial to us all.Stop signs are already RED.The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (HR 4472) is already signed by our President and is only waiting the necessary funding to have it fully operational. Please take a moment to read through the basic fact sheet found here or realize its full potential by reading through the entire act HERE.Once you have recognized what a major impact this Act will have on this terrible war against our children, we ask that you come back here and add your name to this petition as a pledge to do what is necessary in order to start protecting our children NOW by writing to your representatives and demanding that they act swiftly to fully fund ALL mandates of The Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act.A letter template and information on how to contact your representatives can be found by clicking on the "See Full Petition" link above or by scrolling to the bottom of this page.Please, pledge to have your voice heard NOW and take that necessary step to truly protect our children.
