This week on Registry Matters: A New Jersey appellate court delivers a significant ruling requiring states to perform a similarity analysis before charging out-of-state registrants with registry violations. We also examine a Fresno city council’s scramble to pass legislation blocking a registered person from running for office, and break down Wyoming’s proposed grooming felony bill that would criminalize manipulative behavior before any physical abuse occurs, raising serious civil liberties questions.

The Registry Matters Podcast’s mission is to cover issues surrounding the Registry. We cover cases that will peel back the veneer of what we need to do to change our lives for the better. We cover news articles that spark conversations about the total insanity of this modern day witch hunt. This podcast will call out bad policy and call out those that are making bad policy.

To change things for the positive, we need to act. We are 6-7-8-900k strong. With that many people, plus their friends and family, over a million people are affected by the registry. We should be able to secure donations to hire lawyers and lobbyists to move the agenda in our favor. We need our people to be represented.
