Boycott the vote

From one of my readers regarding elections in his area:

There is a special election for state senator for my district (district 32-California)I because the former one was elected to Congress. The candidates are:

Paul Vincent Avila

Joanne T. Gilbert

Kenny Coble

Paul S. Leon

Larry Walker

Norma J. Torres

The only ones I could contact were:

Paul Leon

Larry Walker

Norma J. Torres

The following email was sent to the above three:

I am a men's rights activist or MRA and I advocate for men's issues and concerns. I was just at your website and I was wondering where you stand on issues that effect men. For instance:

1. When men and women are arrested for the same crime the man receives a harsher sentence than the woman or if she has teamed up with a man she can play the victim and testify against him even though they are equals. Not only that but when the death penalty is on the table women are spared the death penalty while men are not. Also women's prisons are much nicer than men's prisons. Does this sound fair to you? It doesn't to us.

2. When it comes to anti-male laws such as VAWA only men are arrested and prosecuted while female batterers go free,also male victims are ignored. Does this sound fair to you? It doesn't to us.

VAWA does occur at the state level as the following video will demonstrate:

I'm sure while campaigning you've met a lot of new people. Have you met Brian Banks:

There are lots of other California men in prison based on some trumped up rape charge and because of rape shield laws they are unable to ferret out the true nature of their accusers.

If elected will you address and correct these inequalities and injustices men face?

Here are some men's rights sites:

Thank you for your time.

I received no replies. Nothing. I'm not going to vote. If my concerns and the concerns of my fellow brothers falls upon deaf ears then those same deaf ears do not deserve our vote. If you live in this district and you feel the same way do NOT cast a ballot instead boycott the vote.

Excellent advice,it is something I would propose. I don't vote for misandric candidates and I'm glad this guy feels the same way.

Seth MacFarlane owes no one an apology

Seth MacFarlane

I didn't watch the Oscars in its entirety but I did see clips on youtube and they were funny. All these assholes saying MacFarlane should apologize fuck them. MacFarlane just threw their political correctness crap right back in their faces. These assholes have no problem maligning the image of men but if someone doesn't bow down and kiss the feet of their repugnant queens and princesses then they throw a shit fit.

First of all,Seth MacFarlane doesn't have to apologize to anyone. The assholes and cunts complaining are the same ones who have no problem denigrating the image of men so I take what they have to say with suspicion. They didn't feel they had to apologize to us so fuck apologizing to them. Fuck those misandric hypocrite bigots.

Obama's purges continue

US Army general facing sex charges adding lawyers
By MICHAEL BIESECKER | Associated Press

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — A U.S. Army general charged with sexual misconduct plans to add civilian lawyers to his legal team after expressing concern his military lawyers feared their careers would be harmed by defending him.

Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair appeared in court Thursday for a hearing on pre-trial motions. Sinclair faces court martial in June on charges that include forcible sodomy, indecent acts, violating orders and adultery. He has thus far deferred entering a plea.

Military judge Col. James Pohl asked Sinclair Thursday about an e-mail the general sent to the head of the Army's legal branch suggesting the three lawyers assigned to defend him feared retaliation. At a past hearing, the defense has suggested they may call some of the Army's top generals as witnesses in the case.

"I had a belief, I was concerned," Sinclair told the judge. He then added that he felt his military lawyers would defend him to the utmost of their ability, but that he still wished to add four civilian lawyers from the firm Montgomery McCracken, based in New York and Philadelphia.

On Thursday, Pohl denied an earlier motion from the defense to disqualify prosecutors over privileged emails erroneously sent to them by criminal investigators. The messages included exchanges between Sinclair and his lawyers, his wife and with a family friend who is an ordained minister.

Other pre-trial motions in the case are due Friday. The Army has thus far rebuffed public records requests from The Associated Press for copies of all motions filed in the case by either the prosecution or defense.

A 27-year Army veteran, Sinclair faces life in prison if convicted on the most serious offenses. It's rare for an Army general to face court-martial. There have been only two cases in recent years. More commanders have lost their posts over sex. Of the 18 generals and admirals, from one star to four stars, fired in recent years, 10 lost their jobs because of sex-related offenses. That tally does not include retired Army general David Petraeus, who was forced to resign as CIA director in November after he admitted to an affair with the woman who wrote the biography of his military career.

The investigation of Petraeus also ensnared Marine Gen. John Allen, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, over thousands of flirty emails he exchanged with a Tampa, Fla., socialite. The Pentagon later cleared Allen of inappropriate conduct, but he announced earlier this week he would retire rather than take command of NATO forces in Europe, as had been scheduled.

At an evidentiary hearing for Sinclair in November, prosecutors presented testimony about his conduct with five women who were not his wife, including officers who served under his direct command. The charges involve activities when he was in Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany and at installations in the United States.

Sinclair was deputy commander in charge of logistics and support for the 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan before being relieved in May during the criminal investigation. He has been on special assignment since then at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

The female captain at the heart of the case said she carried on a three-year sexual relationship with Sinclair, a father of two. Adultery is a crime under military law, and the admission could end her career.

She testified at the evidentiary hearing that she repeatedly tried to break off the affair with Sinclair, who she says threatened to kill her and her family if she told anyone about their frequent sexual liaisons in hotels, headquarters and war zones.

The woman said she usually wanted to have sex with the general, though she said that on two occasions he exposed himself and physically forced her to perform oral sex, even as she sobbed.

The Associated Press does not publicly identify victims of alleged sexual assaults.

Two other female officers who served with Sinclair also testified that they had given the general nude photos at his request.

Sinclair is also accused of possessing alcohol in a war zone and disobeying orders. Maj. Gen. James Huggins, Sinclair's superior officer in Afghanistan, testified he ordered Sinclair to cease contact with the female captain after she reported the affair. Sinclair is alleged to have willfully disobeyed that order by then calling the woman's phone.

Sinclair has not yet spoken publicly about the charges against him. At the pretrial hearing, his defense lawyers conceded the affair with the female captain, while working to paint her as a liar trying to ruin the general's life and military reputation. During the hearings, they characterized her as a manipulative "back-stabber" who blamed others for her mistakes.

The general's wife, Rebecca Sinclair, has stayed away from court but went public with an opinion piece in The Washington Post. In that column, she said she was not condoning her husband's infidelity, but she said that a decade of war had taken a toll on military couples and brought pressure on their marriages.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Rebecca Sinclair said her husband called her last spring to tell her about the affair and allegations, and she said they were trying to mend their relationship.

She spilled the beans about her relationship with the general. I wonder what was her motivation? Will she be held accountable too or is this another tailhook.

Stalin and Obama: carrying out their purges in their own ways.

The lobbyists? That's us. Let's tell them our disgust toward VAWA and that it is either made male friendly or scrapped altogether. S.47 is going to be voted on this week so let them know ASAP.

VAWA vote today at 5pm est

From SAVE Services:

SAVE has just issued a report showing many of the programs funded under S. 47, the Violence Against Women Act, place victims at risk of continued abuse and even death. Restraining orders, mandatory arrest, and aggressive prosecution policies are all found to be increasing partner violence, according to the research summary.

The report can be viewed here.

For example, VAWA funds the enforcement of restraining orders, but they are widely believed to be ineffective in curbing abuse. A review of homicide-suicides in North Carolina revealed the issuance of a restraining order was the most common trigger for such tragedies, present in 41% of such incidents.

The SAVE report terms the continued taxpayer funding of these harmful policies as "A triumph of ideology over science and common-sense."

Sounds crazy? Call your Senators today 1-866-220-0044. Tell them that S. 47 would be a deadly proposition for many.

Please act now....voting on S. 47 is expected to begin at 5pm ET on Monday!

If we can get VAWA aka S.47 killed in the Senate then we won't have to concern ourselves over it anymore. If it passes and goes to the House then we have to go after it in the House as well. It would be a lot easier to just end it now so send in those emails. The following Senators are also not VAWA friendly: Rand Paul,Mike Lee,Chuck Grassley and Orrin Hatch. Also Senator Mitch McConnell is the ranking Republican member there so it may be a good idea to let him know as well.

S.47,VAWA,goes before the Senate soon so voice your displeasure with it now

The Senate vote on VAWA should be very soon.

The Senate is expected to vote on S. 47, a Violence Against Women Act reauthorization bill this week. Unfortunately, S. 47 ignores well-documented problems. VAWA Reform Principals are urgently needed to create a comprehensive and effective VAWA.

DO NOT DELAY!

Please call your Senators TODAY.

Tell them, "Say NO to S. 47 and YES to Real VAWA Reform!"

Keep calling!

Thanks!

Or you can email them too. Tell your Senators you hate VAWA and don't want it reauthorized. I've also contacted Senator Rand Paul and Senator Mike Lee because they are not big fans of it either especially Lee who flat-out called it "unconstitutional" and voted against VAWA. Can't fault another VAWA hater so way to go,Lee. The Republican leader in the Senate is Senator Mitch McConnell so you may want to let him know too.
