Help Support the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act


The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act was passed on July 25, 2006—20 years after Adam Walsh's Abduction. The act established a National Sex Offender Registry law, but recent news reports reveal most states will not be in compliance with the law by the upcoming July 2009 deadline. If senators and state representatives don't comply with and fully fund the act, it will expire. Act Now!

It's time to bail out our kids. Make your voice heard by imploring your senators and state representatives to comply with Adam's law and give it full funding.
