Someone's LIFE depends on your VOTE!

Your VOTE can mean the difference between all women having protections from violence, abuse and trauma or not.

VAWA protections for all victims has been under a sustained attack. The failure to pass the Senate version of VAWA continues to put lives in jeopardy. The passing of VAWA was deliberately held up. 

Your Vote is Your Voice!

LEARN THE FACTS ABOUT WHAT IS IN JEOPARDY!!   

 

There are some people who do not believe all women are worthy of protection. They also believe that there are some batterers and violators of women that should not be held accountable!!

These same people hope that pouring floods of money in to support a different agenda, that President Obama will be replaced. If their tactics succeed, they know they will be able to roll back protections contained in the Real VAWA. The Real VAWA, the Senate version of VAWA holds all abusers of women accountable for their actions and the Real VAWA says all women must be protected.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MASS SHOOTING Brookfield WI | Waukesha County - WISN Home



Click link:  Brookfield shooter found dead inside spa | Waukesha County - WISN Home

What a difference a day can make!!  In the midst of my daily activity, over the past few days, I was sporatically working on a blog regarding the rash of domestic violence related homicides that happened this month to date in Florida!

The mass shooter (above left photo) Radcliff Houghton, age 45,

shot 7 women killing 3!

 

The shooter took 4 lives including his own and altered the lives of three (3) others injured and the lives of so many others! All directly related to domestic violence.

 

Law enforcement at this time are not saying if one of the deaths is in-fact, the shooter's wife who was employed at the Salon.

 

The ripples of consequence will go on for quite some time. Domestic violence is all of our business!!

 

More to come!
