"Oh gee golly wow... we have a crime problem? We don't have enough police on the street?" That's how your group host would summarize the denials from our Mayor and City Council.

We're opening the group to the general public again because our elected officials must pay more attention to the plight of violent crime victims. EXAMPLE? There have been 14 home invasions and 13 armed street robberies in Natomas since June 1, 2008.

A concerned community filled over capacity the theater of Inderkum High School on June 30, 2008. We heard details of the crimes but little about long term solutions. Remember just weeks ago we heard crime is down.

If you support police on the street, believe the city can do a better job of police staffing in your neighborhoods or have been a victim where lack of resources impact you, this is your opportunity. We're about solutions rather than knee-jerk reactions.

WE THE PEOPLE must act responsibly and share ownership of public safety. We can be one of two things: Part of the Problem or Part of the Solution. Much can be done if people don't care who gets the credit. NETWORKING is the key!
