RADAR ALERT: VAWA 4 All: This is the Week to Deliver

This week the VAWA4All Campaign has good news and bad news to share.

The good news is, our people in Washington are meeting with some key elected officials who are extremely supportive of our cause. That's very encouraging.

The bad news is, these elected officials say they have not seen or heard anything that resembles an outpouring of mass discontent with the current version of VAWA.

That worries us, because next week on July 19th, the Senate Judiciary Committee will be holding hearings on VAWA. As things stand right now, the VAWA bill will sail through the hearings without even a peep of concern.

Circumcised - 70% less Chance of Contracting HIV!

Dittohd writes "Several of the guys posting here have used this website in the past to rail against circumcision. Wow! They, along with the radio personality, Dr. Dean Edell, are sure not going to be happy to see this!

Special quote from the article: It was deemed unethical to continue the trial after an early peek at data showed that the uncircumcised men were so much more likely to become infected."

High profile Swedish feminist resigns post amid controversy

Ray writes "Wow! If this is a valid reason for a shelter official to resign (...assigning a characteristic to everybody of a certain gender) , then very soon they'll all be un-womaned, and not just in Sweden:

"After a period of intense criticism and scrutiny, Ireen von Wachenfeldt, chairwoman of women's shelter organisation ROKS, has resigned.

Von Wachenfeldt is a high profile and influential radical feminist, who found herself at the centre of a media storm recently following her appearance in the SVT documentary 'Könskriget' (Battle of the Sexes). In the programme, she appeared to state that "men are animals". But she claimed the comments was taken out of context.'"

Extremely shocking video of US Prisoner abuse

SacredNaCl writes "This link Direct
Download (81MB WMV format, right click save as)
provides a look
inside at some of the abuses occuring in our own US Prisons, primarily
against men. This footage is far worse than that coming out of Iraq &
Cuba. While I don't agree with all of their policitical views, the BBC did an excellent job in presenting their case here and it is definitely worth a look."

RADAR Alert: Joseph Biden Wants to Stack the VAWA Hearing; We Say, "No Way Jose!

On July 19th, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold hearings on reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. And right now, Senator Biden only wants to invite persons who will sing the praises of VAWA. In other words, he wants to have a rubber-stamp hearing.

It's crucial that the Judiciary Committee hear the truth about VAWA -- how it ignores the research about DV and grossly discriminates against men.

Two persons who have each spent over three decades researching family violence:


* Murray Straus, Ph.D., founder of the University of New Hampshire Family Research Laboratory

* Richard Gelles, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Social Policy & Practice at the University of Pennsylvania

These are the people who should be testifying on July 19, not the advocates who knowingly slant the truth and discriminate against needy DV victims.
