The 112th Congress has adjourned without reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
SAVE has consistently advocated for improvements to VAWA. We have worked hard to educate legislators. Among other things, we held several lobbying events throughout the year. We even wrote our own language, the Partner Violence Reduction Act (PVRA) to show that we can serve all victims of domestic violence while reducing waste, fraud and false allegations.
We are happy to report that some of SAVE's key reforms were included in HR 4970, the House version of VAWA. Rest assured, our efforts to achieve VAWA reform will continue in the next session of Congress.
Please call House Leader Eric Cantor today, and thank him for his principled and courageous support of VAWA reform. Call: (202) 225-2815
Looking forward to 2013,

You can also email him and thank him. It took someone with guts to go against Biden and we all win because of his courage. I'm writing in,just like on all my activist postings I participate with you. Will you write in as well?

VAWA CANNOT BE "reformed." HATE legislation can only be ended. Faux "men's organizations" that advocate "reform" of anti-men hate are working agaoinst men.
Bob,I told Cantor to make VAWA more male friendly,by altering everything include the title or scrap it altogether.
