or I have a pretty good idea why...
The FBI wants their DNA database and other police state measures in the worst way.
The Children's Safety Act was a big part of that.
Who was sponsoring it?
Why, Mark Foley was...
sink him to early and they sink themselves:
Nonoffending family members are also impacted. In Georgia, Kentucky, and Iowa, families not only are divided but many are forced to move due to the wildfire passage of legislation throughout the country which restricts where a registered sex offender can live. Collateral damage of fear gone postal.
Foley plays on. Yet, as we now know, the dam is bursting a few leaks.
Rumor about Foley is out there.
Sensenbrenner, the Foley 18, and the Big Three Parents continue to pound the media circuit.
"Protect the Children" is the battlecry.
The Children's Safety Act has morphed into the Adam Walsh Act and John Walsh will not let anyone forget that fact.
The AWA is brought before the Senate again, May 2006.
Elected officials in the Senate are hesitant. Ted Kennedy proclaims dismay but votes for the passage anyway:
-------------------------------------------------------------
It is clear that the Republican leadership will do anything to stop our hate crimes bill. I don't think it is right to delay consideration of the Senate bill on sex offenders, so the battle on hate crimes must continue. Given today's objections, let's move ahead on S. 1086.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
As long as the dismay is recorded, I guess it's okay to cave and give up those citizens who dart through daily hate like raindrops fallin' on their heads.
Meanwhile, CREW provides the FBI with copies of Foley's emails.
The FBI takes no action.
The Predator Bandwagon has lobbied successfully.
The Senate passes the AWA and sends the bill back to the House.
The Foley 18 ask for Hastert to suspend the rules to allow quick passage of the AWA....in time for the 25th anniversary of Adam's death.
What the press never reported is numerous fax messages jam Hastert's office, demanding the Speaker not suspend the rules.http://www.mydd.com/story/2006/10/7/10057/7708
