THEY SHOULD BE SKINNED ALIVE.


Federal Government Closes AMBER Alert Website

Christine Rousselle | Oct 06, 2013


The government website for AMBER Alerts, a service dedicated to the safe recovery of missing children, has been closed during the shutdown. The name is a reference to Amber Hagerman, who was abducted and murdered in 1996. Over 650 children have been safely recovered since the advent of the AMBER Alert system.

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children:

AMBER Alerts are broadcast through radio, television, road signs and all available technology referred to as the AMBER Alert Secondary Distribution Program. These broadcasts let law enforcement use the eyes and ears of the public to help quickly locate an abducted child. The U.S. Department of Justice coordinates the AMBER Alert program on a national basis.

Well... not currently. Attempting to access amberalert.gov brings up an error message, saying that the website is no longer available due to a lapse in government funds.

Not to sound like a broken record, but come on. The domain name has been paid for--the cost of keeping it up has to be very small, if not zero. It's probably even cheaper than blocking off an open-air memorial or barricading a road to ensure private citizens cannot go to their houses.

Although, considering we all heard Sen. Harry Reid's comments on childhood cancer patients, is it really all that shocking that the government shut down something to help missing kids?

Absurd.

the website was down, but ** it didn't affect the Amber Alert Systems **

but to appease Hot Rod, a person was taken off of furlough this morning to re-open the Amber Alert website

"but to appease Hot Rod, a person was taken off of furlough this morning to re-open the Amber Alert website "

If you were that person, how much would you demand to get it up and running? 500% of normal pay? 1000%? Trip to hawaii?

You figure he has more negotiating clout than ever before, and yet I bet he grumbled about going in and did it for free(or just a pro-rated portion of his base pay).

the question is: did any of the ill-informed outraged Fox News viewers even know there was an Amber Alert website?

if your child was kidnapped is that where you would go? (i just checked, there's nothing useful on it :p)

and... will Fox News clarify their accusations?

This kind of stunt pulling is so obvious if you just open your eyes to the bigger picture. The politicians want you to think a gov shut down will destroy this country, so they shut down the most public affecting jobs that cost so little. A park/memorial/website cost next to nothing to run or maintain yet its first on the chopping block. We could sell a fighter jet and pay for all those services that are actually used and enjoyed by people. Then when it comes to slimming down military budget you might as well be asking for their left nut. But not building a few missles wouldnt be noticed by joe average, yet would save countless millions.

Why?

Because they know that shitheads like you will blame the republicans so they do not give a shit how much it hurts the public.

And you shit for brains idiots eat up their line of shit like it was ice cream and cake.

If the Republicans want to keep all these 'useful' government programs running, then they can vote for a full CR and then talk. They dont need to shutdown the government for it. I know you are going to say the Dems were not negotiating. THis is also wrong, they were trying to get the Republicans to negotiate for the budget way before the deadline, but that time the Republicans refused to talk.

Amber Alerts weren't shut down... the website is useless crap... a parent can't get an ambert alert issued, the cops have to do it (the very people you're likely to contact in the event of a kidnapping)... rather than googling 'my kid has been kidnapped, what do i do?'

stop with the manufactured outrage stories

and for that matter, you owe praise for the administration for re-opening the useless website... you keep criticizing the administration for not cancelling standard shutdown procedures, well now they did

Which means the system was shut down. Had a child gone missing there would *NOT* have been an alert.

meaning they based the lies on the existence of that website

It's time the republicans stopped negotiating with these fucking *TERRORIST* liberals and eliminated them. It's time we had our Caucasian spring and got rid of the democrats by *ANY* means necessary.

Our senate military vets like McCain should come to the next senate session armed, lock the doors and give the democrats the massacre they deserve.
