VAWA Should be Passed

Domestic Abuse is our national shame -- and the failure of congressional Republicans to re-authorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) just compounds that shame. They think homosexuals, immigrants, and Native Americans should not be covered by the law -- and that is why they allowed the re-authorization effort to die. This makes no sense. Domestic violence is wrong, no matter who the victims of it are.

The bill has now been introduced again in this new Congress. We must make sure it passes this time.
