That call to arms has permitted lawmakers to enact law after law, including the Adam Walsh Act; all harming folks more and more.
For some odd years now "100,000 sex offenders missing, whereabouts unknown" has been touted by John Walsh (the whereabouts of about 100,000 are currently unknown ), Parents for Megan's Laws (that over 100,000 sex offenders were “missing” from registries across the country.) and many others make the same claim.
Recently, in the wake of new crimes against children, John Walsh met with President Obama and asked that he get the funding bills passed; he agreed. The two bills in Congress are HR 1149 and HR 1422, purpose is to fund the Adam Walsh Act, but Congress has not made them law.
However, there is a very good reason why those bills were not made law, AWA has been funded many times over: see "The Money Tree is Picked Again, this time, 1.1 Trillion Green." Apparently, this way no one receives credit and that seems to be a problem for someone who wants to be able to claim "I got the law funded."
Today on the "Today Show" John Walsh appeared to comment on the recent murders of children in Florida and California, and I have NO PROBLEMS with his comments referencing those horrendous crimes, however, nearing the end of his comments came a push to fund the Adam Walsh Act, even though nothing in that act would have prevented the recent murders. Walsh commented:
"The Justice Dep't says, there are 100,000 Level III, thats the worst of the worst, convicted rapists and sex offenders, at large right now, whereabout unknown, ID known, guys who have cut off ankle braclets, violated parole or probation ...."
Just a minute, what happened to the old call to arms "100,00 missing sex offenders," now it appears we have a new more onerous, more hysterical, call to arms. Is this just to get the funding passed? Listen to his comments:
Apparently, this is now the new call to arms. So, if folks wnat to know the truth about "how the 100,000 number came into being" read the original story: The Saga of 100,000 Missing Sex Offenders: Now the truth
Have a great day & a better tomorrow.

where does Walsh get this 100,000 missing "LEVEL 3" offenders from? The AWA doesnt classfiy offenders by risk and doesnt use Levels. I believe that he just makes up his own information and the media gives him a free pass because they never question his sources
I'm amazed John Walsh actually quoted the NISMART-2 results right at all. I can't remember when John Walsh had ever rightly quoted a stat. But I see his old fear habits die hard. Now that AWA has been funded by Obama, I'm curious as to how much John Walsh is getting paid by the NCMEC this year.
