SERIOUSLY REFORM VAWA OR LET IT GO
Here’s a sampling of how men are protected from domestic and sexual violence through VAWA:
 MEN ARE
- denied basic due process
- denied a presumption of innocence
- denied equal treatment under the law
- denied the right to a fair trial
- denied the right to confront accusers
- denied the right keep fire arms
- denied the right to testify on their own behalf
- denied the right to present certain evidence
- denied security clearances often causing loss of employment
- denied representation in related civil (family court) actions
- denied standing in immigrant applications alleging violence
- denied their children
- denied welfare and healthcare benefits
- denied their personal and real property
- denied careers in the military or law enforcement
- denied other benefits associated with a military career
- denied entrance into professional fields
THROUGH VAWA MEN ARE BASICALLY DISENFRANCHISED, IMPOVERISHED,
AND OFTEN DRIVEN TO MURDER AND SUICIDE
VAWA is unprecedented, unnecessary and dangerous.
If you care about the people you represent, care about your love ones, your neighbors, friends, associates, now and for generations to come, you must not allow VAWA to be reauthorized without serious and substantial reforms which help rather than destroy people. Help not just some of us, but all of us.
VAWA should no longer be allowed to fund efforts which have little or nothing  to do with protecting anyone, but have much or everything to do with promoting harmful sex based stereotypes and political ideologies.

I have endured the loss of almost EVERY ONE of these RIGHTS! I have started making plans to actually visit Washington DC—cause—it is the RIGHT thing to do-actually the only thing — I should have listened to George Gilead of St. Paul, MN. when he told me 7 years ago that it was hopeless and beyond my comprehension to the depths that the authorities would go. Every one!!!!!
Currently VAWA is more concerned with “Witch-Hunting Males” than it is with ending domestic violence as shown in the video of the same name at Youtube. http://tinyurl.com/65dpzwu
Absolutely. I have been falsely accused by my former wife but didn’t make an issue when she hit me often. We are waiting for equal treatment under the law as supposed to be guaranteed by the Constitution.
