Quote: We will be handing out the flyers in front of Walmarts this week. Join in, but get the store manager’s permission first. So far, they have been very cooperative.

RADAR ALERT:
Fix VAWA Now!
Fourteen years after the passage of the Violence Against Women Act in 1994, it is now apparent that VAWA is a badly broken law that harms innocent individuals even as it fails to achieve its stated goal of protecting domestic violence victims.
The Violence Against Women Act: - Fails to Help Victims of Domestic Violence, Mistreats Women, Promotes False Allegations, Breaks Up Families, Unnecessarily Costs Taxpayers Billions
- Hurts Black Communities
While VAWA-funded programs have benefited some individuals, its overall effect has been negative.
On July 4, Independence Day, the VAWA Reform Coalition launched a 5-month, high-profile campaign called "Fix VAWA Now!" Bottom line, we want every American to understand how this law has weakened the American family, harmed children forced into a single-parent household, while failing to protect true victims of domestic violence.
AND WE ARE CALLING ON YOU TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD!
Americans deserve a truly effective law that deals with the problem without causing massive collateral damage.
To make that happen, RADAR has put together materials that can be downloaded from our website: We ask you to make copies of the flyer and distribute it at meetings, rallies, libraries, malls, coffee shops, any place where persons congregate! Same goes for the poster.
VAWA is a badly broken law that, like a cancer, has metastasized into every facet of American society.
We invite every person reading this Alert to join in this historic crusade to save our families and protect our children.
If not us, who? If not now, when? |
I have tried all my life to leave the place better than I found it. But there are 6 billion other buggers out there messing it up. I am outnumbered. But... YOU don't just make a difference, you make THE difference.
