Williams Jody I get really bothered by this because “true” trafficking rings don’t go anywhere near the Super Bowl. If you look at the arrests over the last few years – it’s become a self-fulfilling prophecy and the people who are coming there now are just crazy pedophiles and child abusers who hear this type of news and go “oh that’s an idea how I can peddle the girl down the street” and they’re off. That’s sad and should be stopped and there are plenty of people already in place in these towns where the SB happens each year to address these issues. But what you do when you say it’s happening somewhere “else” is you take your eyes off where it’s happening in your home town. I’ve been writing to the authorities in California for two years now trying to get them to do something about the head of a huge trafficking ring that’s also involved in drugs, extortion, counterfeiting, porn, and that’s even spreading disease – and they do nothing. But everyone uses resources, time, energy, focus to run down to the SB to catch or two pedophiles who are so stupid they don’t know all the eyes are on that event now each year. If you really want to do something about a horrible ring that’s so bad that the three arrests we helped to get last year in Wichita against some of these pimps in this ring – they threatened to kill the judge and the arresting officer (might be why no one in CA wants to talk to me about arresting the head of the operation) – then join with me in putting pressure on the authorities here to do something. When I wrote the CA US Attorney’s office in December demanding to know what she’s going to do about shutting this ring down – she announced a few weeks ago that she’s going to run for senate, i.e., she’s not only bailing on the issue but she’s now taking campaign contributions. This ring is trafficking women and children in just about every major city of the USA every day of the week right now and has been since 2005. They’re also extorting the “johns” that come through the parlors in the six figures – and if they threaten to go to the police – the police are threatening them. Something needs to be done to shut THIS RING DOWN. http://www.sexworkersanonymous.com

Thank you so much Congressman Walberg for your work in helping the victims of human trafficking.
I am a college student preparing to enter the counseling field. I also serve in the Epiphany ministry where we go into the juvenile justice system and share the gospel with adolescents, some of which are coming out of human trafficking.
I am very passionate about helping these precious victims and I am very excited about the work you are doing to help curb this devastating problem that is destroying so many lives.
May God continue to bless your efforts.

In reply to Joy Pickering.

God’s people(Christians) are often guilty of doing nothing, though we have been given so many resources: spiritual weapons, a higher calling, and most of His Grace and Love. May the fire of His strength and grace that both you and I feel in our souls, drive us to pure submission of His true will and purpose for our Lives. Your thoughts reminded me of these lyrics:

I thought, “God, why don’t You do something?”
Well, I just couldn’t bear the thought of
People living in poverty
Children sold into slavery
The thought disgusted me
So, I shook my fist at Heaven
Said, “God, why don’t You do something?”
He said, “I did, I created you” -Matthew West
