Alan Grayson Jason Mattera Interview: Funding for Am Indian Child Sexual Abuse Perpetrators

In this video Jason Mattera interviews Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL-8), and asks about the funding of Native American (Indian) child sexual perpetrators. It is in the bill and Grayson didn't know it. OR it was in the bill and was taken out. One way or the other, it was there at some point. No way to know until the passed legislation, in the final form, is posted online.

I tried a screen grab but could not get it to upload, so I copied and pasted. Watch the video to see what Grayson says:

HR 3962, Sec. 713, CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND PREVENTION TREATMENT PROGRAMS Page 1925 in my pdf (1950 in Mattera's)


14 ‘‘SEC. 713. CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND PREVENTION TREAT
(15) MENT PROGRAMS.
16 ‘‘(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—The Secretary, acting
17 through the Service, shall establish, consistent with section

21 children or children in an Indian household; and
22 ‘‘(2) perpetrators of child sexual abuse who are

In the same vein, Republicans today asked to amend the House Reconciliation bill, titled No Erectile Dysfunction Drugs to Sex Offenders. Democrats refused.

Alan Grayson Rescued from Niger by Blackwater Xe Military Contractor

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) went to Niger, got caught in the middle of a military coup, and had to be rescued and flown out of the country by Xe Services, a military contractor, formerly known as Blackwater.

Daniel Schulman, writing for Mother Jones Online on Alternet reports:
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) who made his substantial fortune by suing military contractors and later lambasted them as a lawmaker, was indeed evacuated from Niger by personnel working for Xe Services (the private security empire formally known as Blackwater), his spokesman confirms.
Grayson was spending your money and mine, while he reportedly was traveld Niger as part of a science and technology congressional delegation:
He heard gunshots in a building next door on the day military leaders stormed the nation's presidential palace and suspended its constitution.


He was taken to the U.S. embassy and put under guard -- it's not clear by whom -- and then flown to Brukina Faso, according to CNN.
 More from Daniel Schulman:
...a Blackwater executive testifying before Congress today said, in an apparent reference to Grayson: "Xe Services, through its subsidiary Presidential Airways, provides aviation support and medevac services to Defense Department personnel in Africa. Just last week, our personnel evacuated a congressman from Niger during civil unrest."
Grayson, a razor-tongued trash talking attack dog sued an American security firm operating in Iraq, Custer Battles LLC ,for "false claims," and won the case. His fees for the case exceeded $4 million. At the time this case was settled in 2006, the Wall Street Journal described Grayson this way:
A fierce critic of the war in Iraq, Mr. Grayson drives an aging Cadillac emblazoned with anti-administration bumper stickers such as "Bush Lied, People Died." ...
Here's some insight into Alan Grayson from his constitutents. The important part of the  video below starts about 1 minute 40 seconds in.
