The Jessica Marie Lunsford Foundation has been established to help children in crisis. Our children are our last hope in this world. There is an evil that preys on the innocence of these precious souls and the Jessica Marie Lunsford Foundation is a result of one man's struggle with this evil which has claimed his daughter's life. We cannot get rid of this evil...but we can contain it, so that our children can be free.

If you want the Jessica Lunsford Act passed in your state, use this as a guideline to create a petition.
Get everyone you can involved: local media, business, friends, & family etc.
Call your Senators, Governor and make as much noise as you can.
Set a date for the petition drive to end but give enough time to get the signatures you need.
When your drive is over make an appointment to deliver them to your Governor.
Be prepared to rally at your capitol if needed.
Remember children do not have a vote-- we have to stop the terrorism on our children.
Click on the state you live in on Bill O'Reilly's map above and write your governor for him to get behind this legislation!
