Dear Education Committee Members,

I am writing as a constituent to encourage you to support and sponsor The Jessica Tush Act, Bill A04596 / S708, which will mandate that a Dating Violence Curriculum and Respect/ Self Esteem Program be taught in all New York Schools.

With an ever-increasing number of victims of Dating Violence and Bullying, I feel that this life saving bill should be a high priority for passage in the upcoming legislative session. Far too many children have already died and more will die without our intervention to stop this growing epidemic.  We have a responsibility to start educating our children to respect themselves and others, and thereby prepare them to understand what abuse is, what is appropriate dating behavior, how to handle rejection, overcome it and strive for a better future, and teach them about available resources if they need them. We need to impress upon students that physical or emotional abuse is unacceptable behavior and it will not be tolerated in our classrooms, in our schools and in our society.

I ask you to sponsor this important piece of legislation which will make such a difference in the lives of the constituents you serve.

I also would appreciate receiving notification of what action you take on this matter.

Sincerely,

Dear Corrections Committee Members,

I am writing as a constituent to encourage you to support and sponsor The Danielle DiMedici and Jessica Tush Law Bill A5396 / S7720, which creates a registry for domestic violence offenders; defines domestic abuse offender; and allows the discretion of the court to place an offender on the registry.

With an ever-increasing number of victims of Domestic Violence, I feel that this life saving bill should be a high priority for passage in the upcoming legislative session.  Far too many women are being murdered by dangerous domestic violence offenders, and far too many families are being destroyed. At the high cost of post-offense aid given, we need to stop violence before it happens.  Just like “Megan’s Law”, this life saving registry will be a warning site, so everyone can be aware of potentially dangerous partners and avoid the danger of victimization.

I ask you to sponsor this important piece of legislation, which will make such a difference in the lives of the constituents you serve.

I also would appreciate receiving notification of what action you take on this matter.

Sincerely,
