John Kasich must be applauded for taking a very controversial stand against human trafficking in the early months of 2012. Human trafficking is modern slavery and it is an epidemic that I have covered extensively here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom.
It is always a good thing when a high-profile personality like John Kasich puts light on an issue that has been purposely kept in the dark for many reasons. To review my other articles about this very important issue, please refer to the following links:
Sex trafficking is not a victimless crime. It is 100% modern slavery and is every bit as evil as the slave trade in the 1600’s through the 1800’s here in the United States. No group should point at that time in American history as a sin while all the while letting it continue in the modern age.
I believe so much in this issue that I opened my novel The Symposium of Justice with a form of sex trafficking being broken up by a vigilante. My editor at that time was so upset with me for refusing to take this scene out of the book that it cost me my relationship with that editor. Few people realize just how wide-spread this modern human slavery penetrates our social network, but it is an epidemic without measure.
Thank you John Kasich for putting yourself out there to bring this very important issue to the front of people’s minds.
P.S. shortly after I posted this story, the Governor sent me an email. It is as follows:
Dear Rich:
Thank you for your words of support. Human trafficking is a horrific crime and we are going to take strong action to stop this from happening.
I am proud and humbled to be serving as the 69th Governor of Ohio. As your Governor I will work to unite all Ohioans, and work towards the common purpose of creating new jobs and improving Ohio’s economy.
Ohio is a great state. I believe in the future of Ohio and have faith in the people of Ohio. We invite your continued input on the journey. If there is any way my office can assist you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me.
