Help Inundate Chafee with Calls about Sex Offenders in Cranston, HELP!

SEX OFFENDERS IN CRANSTON!!!
HELP, RESIDENTS OF CRANSTON - ASAP, P L E A S E call...

TO ALL

Things are stirring again and it is once again time to make those calls to the Governor's office. If we can inundate him with calls before Friday of this week it could make a major impact on any decisions he may be making.

We will not be successful if one or two people are calling we need at least 60+ to get attention.

Ask your neighbors, family and friends. Ask everyone in your household to make calls. WE NEED EACH AND EVERY VOICE in order to be successful and SOONER is better. Anyone who lives in Cranston is impacted by this issue. If you live in Garden Hills you clearly understand the risk, if you have children who use Brayton Park you clearly realize the danger, if you have any loved ones who use the walking track at Brayton Park it's an issue, and if you use the public libraries, convenience stores or shop at Garden City or Chapel View, you also realize..they are everywhere!

And if those issues aren't enough...they are a MAJOR burden on the Cranston Police, Fire and Rescue departments which takes necessary resources away from our tax paying residents while they are tending to Harrington Hall.

For those who may not know:

Senator John Tassoni is looking to move the Sex Offenders from Harrington Hall to the old women's prison on the same Pastore Complex grounds where Harrington Hall is located.

We had been patient with the current arrangement under the hopes and assumption that the building would be ruled uninhabitable and they would be forced to move elsewhere, and now Sen. Tassoni has taken it upon himself to select another space in our community. Mayor Fung and Nick Mattiello are working every angle to make sure this does not happen, BUT NOW THEY NEED OUR SUPPORT!!!! AGAIN!

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT UNLESS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EXPRESS THEIR CONCERN THEY MAY MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS OPTION. IF THEY DO, THESE DANGEROUS CRIMINALS WILL BE OUR NEIGHBORS FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME.

1- Governor Chafee's Office - HE NEEDS TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT OUR COMMUNITY WILL NO LONGER STAND FOR PUTTING OUR RESIDENTS IN HARMS WAY WHILE HE MAKES AN IRRESPONSIBLE DECISION TO HOUSE SEX OFFENDERS IN LARGE NUMBERS, TOO CLOSE TO ALL OF THE ELEMENTS THAT CAUSE THEM TO REOFFEND.

Tel: (401) 222-2080

Points to mention:

* Numbers are rising and it is unacceptable and it has become an unmanageable situation

* We are disappointed that he has not kept the safety of our community at the forefront

* We expect him to make a sensible, informed decision with regards to placement of such a facility

* Why would it make sense to place a homeless shelter with sex offenders within such close proximity to a playground, young girls softball field and elementary schools? That is an irresponsible decision

* Our community will not accept anything less than this shelter being moved elsewhere

IF WE CAN GATHER UP ENOUGH SUPPORT WE HAVE A VERY GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING THESE MEN MOVED TO ANOTHER FACILITY TO ANOTHER MORE SUITABLE LOCATION, PERMANENTLY!!!!!!!!!!

I realize no one wants this "in their backyard" as Sen. Tassoni put it, but we have already put up with these men tormenting our community and draining our Police, Fire and Rescue resources and funding... we also house the ACI and the Eleanor Slater Mental Hospital. CRANSTON HAS DONE ENOUGH!

To date we have received UNPRECEDENTED monitoring by the Cranston Police Department; if these men move into the old prison there is NO way possible this level of monitoring can be guaranteed indefinitely.

We also do not know if they will be housing MORE offenders in their new, nicer location. THIS COULD MEAN MORE UNSUPERVISED OFFENDERS WANDERING THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY.

These men need to be in a facility where the do not have access to the MANY temptations that surround the Pastore Complex.

Life is busy for everyone, but even if you do not care about this issue, please make a call on behalf all the children and potential victims who cannot call.  Note, please ask your family to comment or friends.
