	Trudy W Schuett writes "We've activated our resources and were prepared when the WaPo story hit! To launch the campaign, there's an essay entitled Why YOU Should Fight VAWA here. Click "Read more..." for more from Trudy

	Also some early responses to the piece. I'll track the reactions from bloggers and various news outlets, and add them as I see them. If anyone's got a heads-up on a piece I may have missed, leave a comment at the DLJ, or send e-mail. I'm also actively seeking essays and commentaries from those who may not yet have your own blogs or websites. e-mail me at DVA2004-at-desertlightjournal-dot-com I encourage anyone who has been thinking about starting a blog to do so now! They're free at Blog-City http://www.Blog-City.com but cheap if you want more than the basics. The more blogs we have speaking out against VAWA, the better progress we can make!"

Keep Sending Protest Letters to Washington Post (Score:1) by Rerun on 07:15 PM December 20th, 2004 EST (#1) We need to keep the letters going to the Washington Post protesting their one sided coverage of domestic violence. I have always been impressed by how we can make a difference if we keep the letters going? Look at the recent success with Verizon. Please send e-mails--note links on previous posts.

She has two new first-rate pieces on her site: (1) Why YOU Should Fight VAWA http://desertlightjournal.blog-city.com/read/96574 6.htm (2) Washington Post Series -- Part Two "Rape Hysteria" Takes a New Turn" http://desertlightjournal.blog-city.com/read/96808 6.htm Very well written and concise debunking of the Washington Post's current fem-DV propaganda, and good background on the fraud of VAWA!

If those Pro-VAWA people have advocates for them, then we need advocates for us. -Bro

Re:Where Can We Read the Actual Text of VAWA Bill? (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 04:51 PM December 21st, 2004 EST (#6) I've searched for a 'Net site that might contain the actual text of the bill before Congress to reauthorize VAWA spending for another five years. Tried Congress.org but could not locate it. Is it tacked onto a major appropriations bill, buried in dozens of amendments? (A typical strategy to grease a spending bill through Congress without public awareness...) Anybody found the actual VAWA bill anywhere?
