Obama loves missing kids.... they are very useful to his cause.

The usgs daily stream gauges have been shut down.... like a direct computer feed can't function without being manned.

Haha.. nope.. the USDOJ site which issues the amber alerts are STILL DOWN

As a person that writes about missing person stories, you are probably wondering why I am on this subject. Well, it was brought to my attention by several people that there is another government website down that not many people are aware of, it is the America's Missing Broadcast Emergency Response website or as most people know it, Amber Alert. When you click on the website, there is nothing there, but a blank page, a Department of Justice emblem and the words, "Due to the lapse in federal funding, this Office of Justice Programs (OJP) website is unavailable."

Government shuts down Amber Alert website - National missing persons | Examiner.com

KUSA Channel 9 checked with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and they confirmed it's only the federal website that aggregates alerts that is down, but Amber Alerts continue to be issued and investigated around the country.
Even so, the fact the website is down at all, is certainly confusing. How much could it possible cost to leave a website up? Leaving it up would allow people to continue to look at photos of missing children, especially if they thought they had seen a missing child.

I'm willing to bet the person who's job it is to monitor amber alerts, knows where to go find the USDOJ link to amber alerts..

I guess we know who wears the pants in the Obama family, and it isn't Barack.
Bingo.

The leftists that hang out here day and night are so disingenuous it's really pointless to engage with any of them. Matter of fact, most of the regulars are so stupid I've put them on ignore. I'd suggest that the less you engage with these hypocrites the better c-d politics will become.

You have been misinformed. Consider your source.

Or the person writing this story for the Examiner could have an agenda.

All I know is that BOTH the amberalerts.gov (which explains the program) and the amberalerts.com (which lists amber alerts) are both up and running.

That's just not fair! (stomp foot and whine) - those nasty Republicans that live in rural Red Counties and Districts should not be allowed to vote. Only the Heavy population Blue Urban Districts should be counted. That's the only fair thing to do.

I think you can grab an image from anywhere on the internet and post it on the forum.

The notion of raising taxes aside, we have tens of billions of dollars of wasteful spending in government each year already. If government needs more money, they need to clean house first.
Right! The government will never grow anything. They will always take from one and give to another with zero net affect..

Of course they grow something - the dependent class.
