Ask Congress to Establish National Sex Offenders Registry

We are asking all members of Congress to promptly act to establish a National Sex Offenders Registry to enhance the ability of law enforcement to track sex offenders and to enable families to better protect their children from sex predators.

Sen. Byron Dorgan has reintroduced his bill to create a national sex offender database. The North Dakota Democrat's bill is named "Dru's Law" after Sjodin, a college student who was abducted last fall from a North Dakota parking lot and murdered by convicted sex offender Alfonso Rodriguez Jr.

"Sex offenders don't stop at state lines. Neither should sex offender registries," Dorgan said Thursday. "We need to close a dangerous loophole that currently leaves our communities and our children at risk." Senator Dorgan
