Vote YES on 35--Stop Human Trafficking in California

Hello all, I received this forwarded email from a friend, if you're in California--please help us STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN CALIFORNIA--Vote YES on 35..... Dear Friend, We looked at the man who sold our daughter in the eyes -- but we didn't see the malice that lurked underneath. When he came into our house, we didn't know he was planning to put our daughter on the street. It wasn't until we got a call from the police telling us that our daughter was under arrest that we understood what had happened. Our daughter was a victim in every sense of the word. The human trafficker deceived her, tricked her, and forced her to do something she would never have done otherwise. Watch us tell our story now, and hear how our daughter became a victim of human trafficking. One of the many tragedies in our story is that many think of girls like our daughter as criminals. But if they had the chance to spend a minute with her, they'd realize that she's not a criminal out to make a cheap buck. She's just a young girl who was tricked by the true criminal -- the human trafficker. We're so grateful that our daughter was returned to us. But we know that there are other families out there like we were, families that either don't know or are powerless to help their daughters -- and we know the incredible pain this crime can cause. Proposition 35 is going to change that. Prop 35 is going to give the police the resources they need to rescue girls like our daughter, and give victims the resources they need to put their lives back together. We hope you'll watch us tell our story, and then tell your friends about Prop 35 and how important it is to vote yes this November. Watch us tell our story now, and hear how our daughter became a victim of human trafficking. Thank you for taking a stand against human trafficking. It is time to bring this tragic crime to an end. Sincerely, Gary and Melinda
