Make Your Voice Heard Re: VAWA Reauthorization

The following, originating from Teri Stoddard, was posted on AVFM. I hope you will take this under consideration. If you are a feminist -- that is to say, a moral idiot -- then I am certain you will not take this under consideration. But if you are a compassionate, empathetic person of conscience, you'll get on it straightway, because there is nothing in the proposed measure that a person like yourself could possibly object to:

Title: The Senate Judiciary Committee Needs Your Calls Before Thursday’s Vote On VAWA

Dear (Contact First Name),

The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) this coming Thursday at 10am. As you know, we have found many flaws in this bill, which is why we created the Partner Violence Reduction Act (PVRA).

The Partner Violence Reduction Act:

1. Gives priority to real victims.
2. Reduces false allegations.
3. Removes provisions that violate the Constitution.
4. Protects families.
5. Provides legal assistance for alleged victim and alleged offender.
6. Requires third-party accreditation.
7. Curbs immigration fraud.
8. Makes the law gender-inclusive.

Today we’d like you to call members on the committee. Tell them to reject VAWA and to support the Partner Violence Reduction Act. More info: www.saveservices.org/pvra

Please contact the members listed below:

• Chuck Grassley (202) 224-3744
• Orrin G. Hatch (202) 224-5251
• Jon Kyl (202) 224-4521
• Jeff Sessions (202) 224-4124
• Lindsey Graham (202) 224-5972
• John Cornyn (202) 224-2934
• Michael S. Lee (202) 224-5444
• Tom Coburn (202) 224-5754

Call them once, call them twice, call them several times. Call Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Ask your family, friends, church family, co-workers and neighbors to call. And don’t forget to ask your facebook, twitter and google+ friends too.

It’s now or never, folks!

Sincerely,

Teri

By the way, if anybody is scoffing at the lack of "activism" in the so-called "MRA movement", then the above is one of numerous examples which ought to make you eat crow.

Actually, there is no such thing as the "MRA movement". The proper term is non-feminist revolution. I, myself, belong to the agitation section of the NFR, but I certainly don't mind lending a hand with the activism from time to time. (Right now, for example. Or the Kevin Driscoll case, for another example.)
