Dear Friends,
We urge you all to read the United States Sentencing Commissions request for public comment below. The deadline is JULY 15, 2024.
Attention everyone this post is EXTREMELY important and exciting!!! Responses are due on July 15th, so there is plenty of time.
We are FINALLY getting the opportunity to suggest to the US Sentencing Commission what WE want its priorities to be for reform to the sentencing guidelines. This means Congress will also see these responses. You don’t have to be an attorney or have expert legal knowledge to respond either; they aren’t looking for that. They really want to know what the PUBLIC wants for a change. You can write 2 or 3 sentences or a book, and tell them your story
