From SAVE services:
The senate voted on the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) yesterday. Sen. Leahy's version passed with 68 votes for and 31 against. Now it moves to the House.
Please do not get disheartened. Look at the bright side: 31 senators were brave enough to vote no. Imagine how difficult that was in this election year.
We need to thank these senators, especially Sen. Grassley for providing a substitute amendment, and we need to do it right now.
Sen. Grassley:
(202) 224-3744

Feeling really grateful? Or discouraged that your senators aren't on the list, but still want to take action? Feel free to contact all 31 of these brave individuals.
There was a time when many thought this would never happen. We have proven them wrong. You did it, all of you, each one of you. Thank you so much!

Let's send some thank you letters for standing up to feminist bullies. This took a lot guts and they should be rewarded for it so let's send some emails.

It looks like all the Senators that voted against were Republican!!
Seems like all Libertarians would have, but I dont see any listed here
Which goes to show which party is on our side.
If you want to email these guys and thank them that would help,not only us but to let them know that men's rights are feasible.
I suggest that anytime an innocent is simply arrested or jailed under the umbrella of this law, all the politicians that voted in favor of this law, get a "Thank you for jailing an innocent men" mail.
