As the United States is gearing up for the Super Bowl in Houston, unfortunately, so are many human sex traffickers. Just a few days ago, a 21-year-old trafficking victim with mental special needs was rescued in Houston. The young girl was kidnapped off the streets of Ohio by a dastardly trafficker. He put her in his car and told her: Now you work for me. She was brought to Houston specifically to be trafficked at the Houston Super Bowl. However, the woman's mental disabilities and seizures became too much for the moral- less trafficker, so he dropped the victim off downtown Houston where she later was sexually assaulted by a local criminal. A Good Samaritan rescued the girl and brought her to the hospital. As exploiters and buyers roam the streets looking for prey in Houston, they should know that Mayor Turner, the Department of Homeland Security, and local law enforcement are prepared to jail traffickers and rescue victims. No trafficking. Not in our town. We will protect victims and prosecute the slave trafficking deviants and buyers. And that is just the way it is. ____________________

Well, I think they should be listed. I think we are having some problems with our representation of the U.S. in Baghdad, though, and how they are cozy up to Iranian proxies.
