VAWA again

I received the following from SAVE concerning the authorization of VAWA:

The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) this coming Thursday at 10am. As you know, we have found many flaws in this bill, which is why we created the Partner Violence Reduction Act (PVRA).

The Partner Violence Reduction Act:
1.Gives priority to real victims.

1.Reduces false allegations.
2.Removes provisions that violate the Constitution.
1.Protects families.

1.Provides legal assistance for alleged victim and alleged offender.
2.Requires third-party accreditation.
1.Curbs immigration fraud.
2.Makes the law gender-inclusive.

Today we'd like you to call members on the committee. Tell them to reject VAWA and to support the Partner Violence Reduction Act. More info: click here

Looks like it's time to apply the pressure again to safeguard our rights and keep from losing any more. If you are unable to make the calls then send email telling these Senators that you are less than thrilled with VAWA with all its anti-male sexism and that you want them to enact the PVRA instead. The more of us they hear from the better so contact them today.

1.Reduces false allegations.


This must read; stop all false allegations/accusations.


2.Removes provisions that violate the Constitution.

All/Every part of VAWA has been violating every part of the U.S. Constitution.
