Make History - Participate in the passing of Billy's Law

The following video is a simple version of the revolutionary action that is currently going on regarding Billy's Law, The Help Find the Missing Act ...


We are currently at status point = (S3019) Senate Judiciary Committee.


At this time (especially now through August 9th) it is of essential importance that all of us contact each member on the Committee and encourage them to co-sponsor Billy's Law.


Here's how to go about that in 3 simple and very easy steps ...
1. Copy/Paste this letter located HERE
2. Go HERE to find contact info for Senators on the United States Judicial Committee
3. Fill out the form on each of their individual websites (copy/paste the letter in the remarks area) and click send ...







S. 3019 would authorize funding for, and increase accessibility to, (NamUs.Gov) the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, to facilitate data sharing between such system and the National Crime Information Center database of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to provide incentive grants to help facilitate reporting to such systems.

Why Do We Need Billy's Law?

How could anyone oppose an opportunity to find a missing loved one?
Finally a centralized database ... all information available about the missing person in one central place ... like one stop shopping entered into a database ~ it is like having a million eyes watching.  By supporting ... The Help find the Missing Act ... Billy's Law (if it becomes law) will help expedite the education and introduction (in some cases) into the Law Enforcement & Medical Examiners because it offers incentives to educate law enforcement in this country.


If someone you love so dearly goes missing you want the solution yesterday not tomorrow.
Families get so frustated law enforcement is not doing enough, well here is the wake up call, an opportunity to become more CSI like you see on tv. A person can still be alive and the NamUs database can still be utilized to help bring them home.

Your Voice Counts for Missing Persons Change!

Tell the United States Senators to pass Billy's Law (S3019) NOW! ~ Sample Letter Here!


Please take just one short moment of your time to urge your senators to support and strengthen the Help Find the Missing Act ~ (S3019) Billy's Law. It is up to us to make our voices heard — for the dignity and sanctity of each missing loved one and nameless human life!


The following was written by Billy's Mother, Jan Smolinski ...



If anyone has watched the journey our family has taken to try and find a real person, disappeared, ignored by the authorities as a walk away, hurtful remarks made, evidence lost, entries wrong and incomplete, six years later and still the enormous up hill push just to bring my son home.



Please Help Find Our Missing Loved Ones
We are just a small example of the thousands of families who have to face the reality of a similar nightmare/silent crisis that faces our nation today.



Education is the key~~there is a centralized database that will help connect the dots possibly make matches or bring a loved one home called NamUs.



Imagine a person you love so dearly, a child perhaps (no matter the age they are always your child) go missing with very little attention ~ to then finally receive HOPE ... who would not stand up and say WAIT this is what we have been waiting for! ?? Perhaps a solution?



In our state of Connecticut, like most states, Billy has been missing for six years, but yet the state police ~ public safety ~ have not and will not put Billy as a missing person on their database because they say he is not their case. We questioned and were told Billy's case belongs in the lead agency database, ok, but the computers don't connect, so it will not work.



Our country is in desperate need of a new system, the disjointed, confusing process and tools currently available prior to the creation of NamUs were not working! And unfortunately, until more agencies are required to utilize NamUs (part of what Billy's Law would initiate) this broken, ineffective method will continue.



Now for the first time ever a centralized database is available and incentives are needed to help train law enforcement and medical examiners/coroners how to enter the information and take DNA samples, put into the proper databases, results that are much needed, a resolution for the family of a missing loved one may be possible, it is proven to have worked already.



A missing person DOES NOT have to be deceased for this to work.



Check your local or state clearinghouses, look at the disaster of information entered ... see for yourself the tangled web of missing pieces, entries here there and everywhere and dead ends ... it doesn't make sense.



You decide ... is this the kind of system you'd want to put the majority of your hopes for finding your missing loved one into??



If you say I don't have to worry about this it won't happen to my family, think again ~ NO ONE IS EXEMPT!!



It is time to wake up!



It is time to
get the ball rolling and support the best database to date.



If law enforcement is here to serve and protect then lets educate them how to help serve and protect. It is not their fault if they are not trained, incentives are needed to help in the process.



It is 2010, this is why we in this country need S3019 ~ Help Find the Missing Act ~ Billy's Law.



Email each member on the Judiciary committee, ask each Senator to co sponsor the bill.



If it happened to one of theirs they would certainly want the best way to help achieve answers.

Join the Billy's Law Campaign for much needed Senate Judiciary Co Sponsors!

We All Must Act Now - Send an EMAIL to Judiciary Committee Members on their website!

The way the bill is taking its course has changed. Instead of expediting it through the system it will be going through the normal process. Right now there are nineteen Judiciary members one of them happens to be Senator Coburn so asking him to co sponsor is great. I wish he would reconsider how important the bill is for present and future families.

There are eighteen other members, one is a co sponsor already from New York, the rest need to be contacted and asked to co sponsor. If you could include a few lines about the disappearance of your missing loved one it would help.

A list of members and contact numbers are provided. If you ARE a state resident of one of the nineteen co sponsors a phone call and/or email from your Senator's contact information on their site will be acceptable please include if possible a few lines about your personal story if applicable.

July 4-11 there will be a recess and most Senators will be traveling to their home state. At this time they will be making appearances and face to face would be the best to ask for co sponsorship of the bill. They need to know there is support for this explaining your story and how it has affected your life will add to the need for a bill such as Help Find the Missing Act. If the state you live in includes one of the nineteen Senator Judiciary members, by going onto their web site, a list of places where they will be appearing will be provided.

Click on the blue line http://judiciary.senate.gov/about/members.cfm
and the Judiciary member names will appear.
