   I contacted my senators this morning imploring them to vote AGAINST the bill re-authorizing VAWA (even though one of them actually co-sponsored the piece of garbage). I think at least 3 key points need to be made. First, VAWA runs counter to the equal protection clause of the constitution and diminishes due process. Secondly, it relentlessly and erroneously scapegoats men — perpetuating inaccurate stereotypes of women as victims and men as abusers. Research simply does not support these demeaning and damaging stereotypes. Thirdly, flawed and biased laws like VAWA may be used as tools to strip innocent men of their legitimate rights in child custody proceedings. There are other problems with VAWA too. Despite the positive-sounding name the bill is simply wrong. I recommend EVERY AMERICAN call or email their senators TODAY, because a vote on the reauthorization of the bill will apparently happen VERY SOON!

   Please stop the madness caused by the VAWA program and give meaningful reform a chance.

     The Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA) by passes the normal due process of law afforded to all citizens. VAWA is tentamount to an insurance policy that insures that false allegations perpetrated females by against males automatically results in a defacto judgement against the male.

     Even worse the law turns the normal immigration process upside down by empowering immigrants to make false allegations against American citizens who sponsor them on fiancee visas. This is the perfect opportunity for malicious individuals to enter the country under false pretenses and cause grave harm to the American populace.

     Foreigners outside the United States have already carefully analyzed our immigration system for loopholes they can exploit. VAWA allows foreigners to easily make false allegations, and their identity is protected. This is the perfect opportunity for terrorists to enter the United States enmasse without being detected. The Violence Against Women’s Act is the green light invitation for terrorists to enter the United States and it must be stopped.

     Stop the madness and tell Congress to reject the Violence Against Women’s Act. American simply cannot stand another attack against our Nations National Security.
