Mission Statement and News Release
(Mission Statement follows press release, see below)
The recent events in the discovery of the remains of Sam and Lindsey
Porter have unfortunately made moot the first and last points
of the Mission Statement. However, Sam and Lindsey have been reunited
in heaven
with their God.
The balance of the Mission Statement remains intact. The methodology
of achieving the remaining eight goals will be as follows:
1: Lobby for the institution of an "Amber Alert Czar"
who will have the authority to cut across jurisdictional lines
to streamline and facilitate the effectiveness of the Amber Alert
System;
2: Lobby for the institution of the Crime Victims equivalence
of the Sailors
and Soldiers Relief Act where families will be protected in
their financial situation with payment deferrals during search
and rescue activities;
3: Lobby for the institution of a Victims Counseling Organization
and Support Group to assist family members and victims in dealing
with the immense psychological pressure of dealing with missing
family members.
We thank the many friends and concerned citizens who assisted
in the search for Sam and Lindsey. We thank the press for their
concern and sensitivity. We thank law enforcement and the prosecutors
office for their past and continuing efforts.
It is important for all to know that Tina Porter, and others in
the institution, will work relentlessly in an attempt to avoid
such tragic circumstances befalling others.
