This law has not brought down the government or taken away any of your rights but their are parents who can put their children to bed at night instead of visiting them at the graveyard because of this.

You all are missing the point. The law is successful now because it IS national law. The federal goverment made this National in 2003 and it has by all accounts been extremely successful. Had Ron Paul had his way there would not have been nearly the amount of children saved.

The bottom line is that Ron Paul voted NO on this without a better system in place or offering one of his own. This law has not brought down the government or taken away any of your rights but their are parents who can put their children to bed at night instead of visiting them at the graveyard because of this.

What an empty comment. I think describing you as delusional would be giving you too much credit.

Just think how much more successful it would've been had it not been put under Federal jurisdiction.
I wonder how many kids have died, been raped, or are just missing because the Federal government couldn't keep their filthy hands out of the cookie jar.

Please enumerate the rights that the AMBER Alert system has violated of yours.
This is really all I am asking for.

So your kid get's abducted from a playground or somewhere and you wouldn't want every available resource to get that child back?
I find that hard to believe.
If I'm reading this correctly it would make a lot of questionable "illustrations" illegal. An illustration may even be a simple drawing. And I can also understand why if I person travels to a foreign country they should have to obey by that countries laws, it is quite an overstepping to dictate what a person can and cannot do whilst they are in another country if they are obeying the laws of that country. I can easily see why he voted no on this. It seems like nothing but a bunch of sneaky and underhanded tactics to catch sex offenders by twisting the boundaries of law and rationality. Drawings are not people and an adult in one country can be considered a child in the next.
The measure would make it a crime to pander visual illustrations of children as child pornography. It would increase maximum sentences for a number of specified crimes against children. It would also make it a crime to take a trip to foreign countries and engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor.

Ron Paul votes no on 99 percent of bills. His argument would be the federal government does not need to protect the children, that is the job of the parents. As a parent I agree.edit on 10-8-2011 by filosophia because: (no reason given)

Ron Paul voted NO on establishing nationwide AMBER alert system for missing kids.
It would also make it a crime to take a trip to foreign countries and engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor. It also would enlarge law enforcement’s wiretap and electronic surveillance abilities in investigations of child pornography.
