Tell Boehner to make VAWA more male friendly

From SAVE Services:

Congress is still being told by the domestic violence industry that the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) must be reauthorized this month.

Today, we're asking you to make one phone call or send email, to House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner.

Call Speaker Boehner at 1-202-225-6205 and say, "VAWA must restore the presumption of innocence!"

Details: click here

Please take action!

The feminists are pushing for an anti-male version of VAWA that is why we must counteract them. Let Boehner know where you stand now.

VAWA goes before the Senate

The following is from SAVE:

In the last week, Senator Leahy (D-VT) gathered enough co-sponsors to avoid a filibuster, and the Senate is expected to vote on the Violence Against Women Act (S.1925) very soon.

This means time is running short to take action.

Let's make sure that every senator knows that without accountability, accreditation and equal protection, VAWA is a flawed bill. Let's make sure they know that we want them to vote NO.

Find your senators' phone numbers here: click here.

Or call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121, where an operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request.

The vote could be this week, so please call right now.

Sincerely,

Teri

I guess it's going down to the wire. If we can kill this in the Senate let's do it. Let's send those emails or make those calls however you want to do it. Let's hold them accountable.

VAWA debate at U.S. News and World Report

U.S. News & World Report has taken note of the controversy around the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act - VAWA - (s.1925), making it the focus of Debate Club. Debate Club brings in the best arguments and lets readers decide which is the most persuasive. They ask: Should the Violence Against Women Act Be Reauthorized? click here

As of this writing, the entry in first place is: "NO: Violence Against Women Act Is a Totalitarian Violation of Democracy" by Laura Wood.click here In second place is "NO: The Violence Against Women Act Should Outrage Decent People" by Janice Shaw Crouse.click here Following that are a few entries supporting the reauthorization.

You could read these two thoughtful articles explaining why Senator Leahy's VAWA misses the mark, or you could read all of the entries, pro and against VAWA. We encourage that.

But we also understand how valuable your time is. So if you only have a moment and you want to make a difference, I'll explain how you can do that.

Go to the debate here: click here. Scroll down until you see these two 'NO' opinions:

Click on the UP buttons next to Laura's and Janice's entries. That's it!

If you have another moment, you could click the down buttons next to all of the 'yes' entries.

Thank you for your continued dedication, and for your patience. I believe we are starting to see the results of our slow and steady efforts. Isn't it just wonderful?

Sincerely,

Teri

If you have time to write an opinion that is great too in fact it is preferred but if don't then support our friends and undermining our enemies is good too. You do that by upvoting or downvoting. There are politicians weighing in too and they are reading this site so if you want to weigh in this is a great reason to do so.
