S.1738, BIDEN-HATCH

Dear Senator McCain,

Last year alone, U.S. law enforcement identified over 300,000 criminals who were trafficking in movies and pictures of young children being raped and tortured. Experts say that one in three of these criminals has local child victims. Child pornography trafficking over the internet has given us a trail of evidence that leads straight to their doorsteps, but the vast majority of these children will never be rescued because investigators are overwhelmed. 

As your constituents, we urge you to do everything in your power to pass the PROTECT OUR CHILDREN ACT (S.1738, Biden-Hatch). This bipartisan legislation passed the House 415-2, but is now the victim of petty partisan politics.

Now that we know where these children are and how to protect them, there is no excuse for the senate to fail to take action this session.
