| Representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY) |
With first-hand knowledge, the recently exposed Twitter flasher acknowledged that "the Internet is the predator's venue of choice today."
I once had the opportunity to debate Congressman Weiner at a Queens public school on the details and merits of The No Child Left Behind Act. Now, I simply wonder if there are any schools in close proximity to this degenerate.
Only days ago he called a respectful reporter a "jackass," falsely claimed his Twitter account had been hacked, blamed Andrew Breitbart and others for a set-up, and it appears there is more to this story than has yet been revealed.
The Democrat Party has embraced abortion, sodomy and death panels; unless they insist that Anthony Weiner resign, they will also become the party of Internet predators trolling for your children.

Protecting Children On the Internet
In early 2007 my office did a study that found that over 85% of registered sex offenders in New York City live less than five blocks from schools, and 670 sex offenders live within just two blocks. Some offenders are even closer, permanently residing less than 500 feet away from unwitting parents, educators and children.
Along with several colleagues in Congress, we introduced & passed the KIDS (Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators) Act of 2007, a bill to require sex offenders to register their e-mail and instant message addresses with the National Sex Offender Registry. The “Kids Act’ implemented one of my six recommendations to keep a closer eye on sex offenders both near school grounds and online. I also proposed stricter GPS tracking of sex offenders, tougher enforcement of registration laws and more public disclosure of sex offender data.
Sadly, the Internet is the predator's venue of choice today. We need to update our strategies and our laws to stop these offenders who are a mere click away from our children.
