    Glad to see that the FBI shut down the Backpage website today – though it took far too long to happen. That website promoted the modern day slavery of women and children, including in Florida.

        Once the bill I sponsored called SESTA is signed into law, state and local law enforcement will have new tools to stop these websites faster and victims can get their day in court while also freeing themselves from sexual slavery!

        No. It provided a safe platform for sex workers and its closure will drive sex trafficking further underground and make it impossible for victims to be found or come forward. #sexwork is not #Sextrafficking Your vote will cause harm.

        ^^^yes, this. Plus the whole concept of 'modern day slavery' is racist, imperialist and xenophobic. Before the moral panic over 'modern slavery', it was called 'white slavery'. There is a whole genre of propaganda films around it.

        Np! Giving some historical context to these antiquated ideas is one way to chip away at the argument.

        Our data indicates that you drove the actual sex traffickers into underground groups & networks. What technology consultant advised you?

        You will be seeing an increase in desperation, violence and trafficking thanks to the shut down of safer advertising methods. Lack of online resources forces workers outdoors. Congratulations, there's blood on your hands!

        You sound just like a Conservative Republican who does not care about the consequences to sex workers.

        2.) Or worse. They will not go away, they will just be buried deep underground. They will not be on your computer screen. And...what will Sheriff Grady Judd do now?

        1. Please keep an eye out for the increase in violent crimes against sex workers, a decrease in tax revenue from hotels, increase in social aid money because you like this rank law. And bonus: good luck locating those that are indeed trafficked. They will be on the street,

        Why don't you just vote to decriminalize sex work so that the government can stop wasting resources on harmless prostitution and focus exclusively on the slavery of women and children. Instead of this, which endangers the lives of sex workers.

        Can you author a bill that allows Vets to use their military training to transition into equivalent jobs as civilians? That would do a great deal to lower the homeless Vet population. For instance, I've met a lot of Vets that were field medics & would do very well as paramedics.

        Sex working should be legal and regulated, not ignored

        Sen, sex work is not a fed issue, and shutting down the site is too broad a measure!
