Default To Webmaster or anyone else

Can someone expalin for all of us why WAP is asking for certain people to write in about their experiences with Florida offenders. Opposed to anyone who writes to an offender in Florida? Seems to me in the battle of first amendment rights a joint effort that includes everyone who writes to these individuals would serve a far better purpose.

I know that I was sent an email asking to write. That was a while back ago.
I believe maybe Law Dog can answer this one?

At the present time, Florida is the only State that is pending action to remove rights of inmates to place ads for penpals.

WAP wants to focus on inmates in Florida, since that is where the issue is. Even though it involves First Amendment rights, it is a regional issue right now.

Ok, let me be a little more clear in my question... on WAP's front page there is a notice that if you live in a particular county within Florida or are a member of the clergy WAP wants to hear from those in these categories who are writing to offenders in Florida. So my question is, why is it limited to only those who live in those counties, rather than wanting to hear from anyone who is writing to a FL offender?

I am very aware of what is taking place in Florida and the efforts to ban pen pal services. So I hope this clarification of my question helps.

Just Me, you can ask your question directly to the WAP people on the home page. They will answer you by email....

Maybe because they are going to vote on certain issues in those counties and so they want to talk to only those people whom could vote in those counties and not people all over???? I really dont know, I am just throwing thoughts out there as to what may or may not be happening..i just really havent a clue... but I guess it is maybe possible????

Dear JustMe,
Maybe they want signatures. If that is the case, I'm sure they'd have to be Fl. residents only, and maybe an address to prove residence.
