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.

This whole thing has been more than worth it for exposing how petty and vindictive this evil Obama administration is. I don't care if the GOP looses a bit of popular opinion on the shutdown itself. In the long run I believe more people will remember the ugliness from the Democratic side. If not, then we are surely doomed anyway as a society and as a country.

Between this and Harry Reid's comment about not helping children with cancer this should make it very clear to the American people that these people don't give a damn about this nation's children. They're just another object to use to advance their agenda.

Hey. Never let a crisis go to waste. Good opportunity to help the pedophile wing of the Democratic Party.

They are running a web site that says that the web site they are running is not running?

Barack Obama is such a little pu$$y.

This corrupt regime takes a break from arming al Qaeda
to allow the criminal illegals and felons it released
to abduct children.

DISGUSTING.

Where is Congress? At its brothel.

If we found we had cancer and would die if it were not excised, we’d have it excised.

America has a growing life-threatening cancer.

I usually check things out before I comment.

But I figured this was a safe bet on my part.

Bowbama only wants to shut down things that are important, or at least, semi-important, ie ocean, parks, veterans' memorials, etc., to the common (us) folks.

Why hasn't NPR been shut down?

Consider the emotions today of all those Federal Employees who have young children.

They are not going to be happy, happy, happy with Barry’s AG Eric Holder for stopping the National AMBER ALERT Program over the weekend.

Surely, Mr. Fast and Furious Holder thought this Amber Alert cancellation through and made an exception of Michelle Obama’s children?

BTW, I wonder if Barry, General of the Senate Harry “Mean Ol’ Guy” Reid, and Colonel of her former self Nancy “Always in a fog” Pelosi realize that other Federal employees ALSO have young children that need to be protected by the National Amber Alert Program?

BTW, BTW, the boy-toy, wanna-be dictator Barry Soetoro, aka Mr. Michelle Obama, COULD order his personal Corporate Jet, Air Force One, to be mothballed, by Executive Order, of course. (He must have a few blank EO forms lying around his empty chair, or his Golf bag - - - ).

That simple gesture just might, could, show that Barry also “feels our pain.”

Barry could also BARRYCADE his own personal Golf Course, BARRYCADE the Oceans, only on Federal land, of course. (Governors are so touchy these days about their State’s shorelines)!

Which is more important? Camp David or Amber Alert?

This is more evidence that the federal government does too much. Time to give much of it back to the states.
