White House, Democratic Senate shuts down government’s AMBER Alert child-abduction site.
Red State ^ | 10/6/2013 | Moe Lane

Posted on 10/07/2013 6:39:32 AM PDT by IbJensen

This is what you get when you go to

http://amberalert.gov/:

For those unaware, the cache of the above site gives the following description of the AMBER Alert system:

The AMBER Alert™ Program is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and the wireless industry, to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and the safe recovery of the child.

…unless, of course, there’s a government shutdown and the President doesn’t want to admit that the House of Representatives has control over the purse strings. Then I guess it’s hope that the kids come back on their own, like pets or something; either way, the Feds are just going to be over there, washing their hands of the whole situation.

The mind reels at these people.

Moe Lane

PS: As noted here, via this program the Department of Justice is supposed to coordinate on a national level the various programs used in all of the states (and DC). This means that – thank God – states can still put the word out on abduction cases; unfortunately, this boneheaded decision is likely to degrade national coordination methods. Besides, I personally think that keeping that program operating at peak efficiency is just a little more important than soothing Barack Obama’s and Harry Reid’s wounded egos.

For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain.

Their throat is an open sepulcher; they dealt deceitfully with their tongues; judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee O Lord.

(Psalm 6)

The EPA is operational despite furloughing 93% of the staff.

Name any business anywhere that could furlough 93% of its staff and remain operational.

so the obama admin doesn’t care if children are abducted and abused, yet finds a way to send the communists at PBS $445 million to advance their crypto-socialist and homosexual-degenrate agenda?

WAKE UP AMERICA

Rats are hoping for child abductions so they can blame the Republicans. It’s that crisis not going to waste thingy.

>>>Why hasn’t NPR been shut down? >>>

I gave up on NPR many years ago. Hearing the classical music did NOT make up for the garbage spewed against the American people, and God.
