SINCE NOBODY SEEMS TO GIVE A GOSH DARNABOUT ADAM, I WILL REMOVE THE IMAGE
(LANGUAGE MODIFIED TO APPEASE THE OUTSIDERS WHO APPARENTLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DISCLAIMER IS FOR WHEN ENTERING THIS BLOG)
As most of you know, this is Adam Walsh, the son of John Walsh of America's Most Wanted. In memory of him, legislation was passed creating the National Sex Offender Registry. President Bush signed the legislation:
This link, from a defense atty database breaks down the legislation from the viewpoint of those who defend those who may be subject to it's provisions:
Now to get to the reason for this article. It seems that after President Bush signed this bill into law, there have been problems getting the provisions of the law carried out. I came across this post on another blog:
I ask all of you that read this blog to write to the Pres. asking him to PLEASE make sure that they do not forget about the ADAM WALSH ACT and that you want the mandatory DNA sampling. It is time that we do something good instead of tearing people apart. This act could save a lot of children's lives. The blogger community is huge and world wide. If we all do this the government will know that we WANT this ACT and are tired of hearing about young children being kidnapped and murdered. Here is the link to contacting the Whitehouse:

I pass this information along so that those of you out there who are concerned about the status of the law can contact the President and make these concerns known.

In July 2006, then-President George W. Bush signed into law the Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act (H.R. 4472), which had among its sponsors Vice President Joe Biden, who was then the senator from Delaware.
The bill is named after Walsh's son, who was abducted and murdered at the age of 6, more than a quarter-century ago. That event propelled Walsh, a Florida land developer, into the public eye and eventually led to him being named as host of "America's Most Wanted."
According to Walsh, Congress has yet to fund the bill, intended to create a national sex-offender registry and pursue serious sex offenders who are not complying with legal requirements. The act does have its critics, who have concerns about its implementation and constitutionality.
