In the beginning

It's nice to get a response.

One generic letter I was happy to receive, hopefully there will be enough support to help better these policies.

Dear Friend,
Many thanks for sharing your concerns about sex offenders and children. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
We agree that those who commit violent crimes against children should be held accountable for their actions. Last Congress, we passed the "Prosecuting Remedies and Tools Against the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003" which included a variety of measures specifically designed to protect children against sexual abuse. Please be assured that your thoughts have been heard, and I will have your support in mind as we consider additional legislation on this topic during the 109th Congress.
For more information on my work in Congress, or to send me an electronic message, please visit the 21st District's website at http://lamarsmith.house.gov.

Sincerely,
Lamar Smith Member of Congress
