Amber Alert Texts to Your Phone

I've just signed up for something cool. I've long been a supporter of the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Now, in conjunction with wireless phone providers, they've set up a way to have a broader reach with Amber Alerts. It takes five minutes to sign up to get the Alerts in any given area code sent to your phone. The link to sign up is at the bottom of the page.
In some states, Amber Alerts are randomly assigned to any missing child case and they often turn out to be the result of a domestic dispute where the child wasn't seriously in harms way. But even if only one child who is really in danger is saved because of an Amber Alert, that's a great thing.
Sign up. Try it. You can always make a change later.
