====Child protection====
In April 2008, Vitter introduced an amendment to continue funding the [[Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act]] which was excluded from the 2008/2009 budget. The federal program maintains a national [[Sex offender registries in the United States|sex offender registry]], provides resources for tracking down unregistered [[sex offender]]s and increases penalties for the [[sexual assault]] of children. His amendment received bipartisan support.<ref>{{cite news|date=May 1, 2008|last=Alpert|first=Bruce|url=http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?/base/library-146/1209619943213470.xml&coll=1|title=Vitter seeks funding for child-safety act|newspaper=[[The Times-Picayune]]|access-date=May 1, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222151447/http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?%2Fbase%2Flibrary-146%2F1209619943213470.xml&coll=1|archive-date=February 22, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://vitter.senate.gov/?module=PressRoom/PressItem&ID=419f0956-0443-4291-8a55-90adcdf48483|title=Vitter Offers Amendment to Fund Adam Walsh Act|publisher=David Vitter|access-date=May 1, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080430231225/http://vitter.senate.gov/?module=PressRoom%2FPressItem&ID=419f0956-0443-4291-8a55-90adcdf48483|archive-date=April 30, 2008}}</ref>
