Calling on the major DNA testing companies-YOU can make a difference!

And maybe just buff that corporate image more than just a little-how about instant national attention to your services????

Offer to match the parents separated by this "zero tolerance" policy.

Pretty sure Y'all are equipped for the job-first one in gets the job I'd wager so....

How to spread this idea-I'm not on twitter so steal borrow whatever but please make this viral!

in Argentina by the mothers of the disappeared after a military coup ousted Elvita Perón. From 1976 to 1983 the military junta tried to wipe out all their opposition. They just took thousands of people away and no one ever heard about them again.

Mothers of these disappeared would protest in silence in front of the government building and this kept people’s attention.

There’s a lot about it that you can google and some movies have been made.

When the coup was over and the new government uncovered the truth about what had happened it turned out that hundreds of the young women who were abducted were pregnant and their families went to doctors and demanded to know if there was a way to find these children through some physical similarities. One thing led to another and that’s how DNA tracking was born. The children survived and the military families just took them as their own. No paperwork existed and no way of knowing who they were. The mothers had their blood tested and the children who matched the DNA were returned to their families.

Very interesting bit of history.

Take the cost out of Trumps budget. He created the problem he should pay for it.
