Mark Lunsford

I am so proud of this man; he was thrust into the limelight through the most horrific of circumstances--just an everyday Joe, truck driver who loved to ride motorcycles. With John Walsh's help, he has learned everything he can about these child predators and has fought all the way to D.C. and continues to march the halls of Congress and go state-to-state.

He said the reason he is in court is to not only fight for Jessie, but for every child. "Not many parents can speak publicly about what has happened to their child but I will break my heart a hundred times a day if it will save one child."

He said that when he testifies before State Legislators, quite often people leave because they can't bear hearing it. But you have to hear it, you have to know the face of evil and know how the Federal and State systems failed Jessica Lunsford and countless others.

I pray God brings justice and peace to this family; Lord only knows, there will never be closure; but out of his pain, God has given him the strength to fight tooth and nail to rid the country of the John Coueys of this world. We should contact our legislators, our congressmen, never let up. Voting for a law, and not providing funds, is no win. Sure, they passed the Adam Walsh Act but they haven't funded it yet. It just angers me so to think that so much money in this country is wasted on so much pork and our leaders don't have the wherewithall to do the right thing. I am sick to death of rhetoric.
