AMBER ALERT WEBSITE GOES OFFLINE AMID GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, MICHELLE OBAMA’S ‘LET’S MOVE’ WEBSITE STAYS UP



The official website of the AMBER Alert program has been taken offline, due to the federal government shutdown.

“Due to the lapse in federal funding, this Office of Justice Programs (OJP) website is unavailable,” a message greeting visitors now reads on the website.

It was immediately unclear when the website was taken down. However, it should be noted that First Lady Michelle Obama’s website for her “Let’s Move” campaign is still up, running and fully functional.

The AMBER Alert program is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement and broadcasters that issues urgent bulletins following cases of child abductions.

FOLLOWING THE NEWS, USERS ON TWITTER REACTED:

Cruz stood 21 hours for freedom. Obama won't stand for missing children. #AmberAlert #shutdown

If George W. Bush shut down the Amber Alert system for a political stunt, there would be a 24/7 TV marathon of screaming fury.

Probably not a super idea for the Administration to temporarily disable the Amber Alert system.
