Could it be happening in YOUR town?

National news is abuzz about the prostitution ring in Maine.  Such a small sleepy town, only 10,000 people.  Hundreds of men are on a list given to the please by a prostitute (Alexis Wright).  Her cover business was Zumba, but records (kept in remarkable detail) show a list of the men she was sleeping with, the services rendered, and how much those services cost.  This is happening in MAINE.  I'm pretty sure if we dig deep enough we could find it in our own towns.  Are we too afraid to take the beast of prostitution on?  How about those who are forced into the business?  What about sex slavery?  I think we need to bust the doors open.  The men on Wright's list included lawyers, officers, and upstanding, influential men in the town.  We don't talk about it enough.  Honestly, the issue isn't brought attention to policy makers or politicians.  It's the white elephant in the room.  It's swept under the rug.  We're ridiculous.  Absolutely stupid.

So is it happening where YOU are? What will you DO about it?
