DEATH * BY * METH

This is dedicated to Travis Holappa who was kidnapped, tortured and murdered on July 25, 2004 in Northern Minnesota. This was all due to meth. I am Travis' mother and I wish to make this devastation turn into a better thing by educating and exposing the truth about meth, the dangers, and the deadly consequences it brings about to individuals and communities.

I want to do what I can to educate people about what is going on around the world with the meth problem. I want people to know about it BEFORE they even get the idea to want to try it. It is a dangerous drug and will ruin your life as well as all those who love you. I am on a mission on behalf of my only son, Travis.

Governor Signs Meth Database Into Law (Illinois)

Registry Will Track Convicted Manufacturers

(AP) SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Governor Rod Blagojevich signed a law today that will require the Illinois State Police to create an Internet database to track convicted methamphetamine makers.

The Methamphetamine Manufacturer Registry will include the convicted person's name, birth date and the type of crime and the county where it was committed.

The information will be collected by local circuit court clerks and the Illinois Department of Corrections and will be available on the Internet to police and ordinary citizens.

The governor also signed three other pieces of legislation aimed at reducing meth manufacture and trafficking.

It's a good start, but I just don't know how effective it will be. They can't keep track of all the sex offenders, now. Also, there has been some debate over addicts using the datatbase to find connections. I would much rather them make all criminal records easily available and free to the public. Also, I would love to see arrests and convictions on a county-by-county basis.
