PA - Lawmakers may move sex abuse bill; SNAP responds
We applaud Pennsylvania lawmakers who are pushing a discharge petition so that a crucial bill to help expose child predators can move forward.
If ever there's a compelling reason for an unusual legislative move, protecting hundreds or thousands of innocent kids from child predators is that reason.
One or two politicians shouldn't deny 250 PA lawmakers a chance to vote - up or down - on a matter of public safety and child protection.
Winter Appeal 2023
To our friends,
2023 has been a long year with many ups and downs for us all. As we close out the year, we at SNAP hope that you are feeling like you are on your way to being healthy, fulfilled, and happy. This past year has brought both successes and challenges. Thanks to the support you have shown in the past, we’ve been able to celebrate the good days and weather the stormy ones. Now, we are once again asking for your support as we work to support survivors new and old as we ‘Move SNAP Forward.’
At SNAP we are proud to have hosted a very well-attended conference in August 2023. This event allowed us to gather friends, survivors, advocates, and allies for a weekend of camaraderie and connection. We were so happy to be able to welcome many first-time attendees to gather in person and are already looking forward to the next conference.
To strengthen our movement for justice, healing, and prevention, SNAP will be expanding our peer support and providing more volunteer opportunities in the coming year. Through this great work, we are ensuring survivor voices are represented as we work for significant change that will benefit children and survivors.
Right now, survivors worldwide are getting the help they need from SNAP, and more and more reach out to us daily, but we need your help to keep those programs going and get our volunteers the training they need to thrive.
Your tax-deductible gift to SNAP can help offset the cost of our important mission. If you are not in a position to contribute, you can still support us by sharing this letter with those who can. As we continue to fight for survivors across the globe, your donation or sharing the great work SNAP does will help us continue our work to protect the vulnerable, heal the wounded, and prevent abuse.
Your donation ensures SNAP will be there for those who need us more than ever!
Warmly,
Michael W. McDonnell, C.P.S.

We in South Jersey have always affectionately referred to it as Filthadelphia.

PA used to be a nice place when the dirty and corrupt politicians were happy to make money skimming on turnpike paving jobs and the like. Now they buy and sell our kids for money like the Cash for kids scandal in Luzerne County.
PA is where the devil takes his holiday. He has an open invitation from our elected officials.

But people like us can make a difference. The fireworks start in PA on JUne 30th and will last throughout July and then some. The pittsburgh DIocese is no longer a safe haven for Donald “The Lavender Don” Wuerl’s brigade of dysfunctional sex freaks.

P.S. The closer we get to June 30th, the more information I’ll be releasing.

P.S. Keep in mind that Sicilian DA Stephen Zappala from Allegheny County serves on the US Bishop’s Conference board that investigates clergy abuse crimes.
