RADAR ALERT: Tell President Obama, "Stop the Orwellian Half-Truths!"

Just about everyone knows men can be victims of domestic violence:

• According to a 2006 Harris poll, 88% of Americans have heard about a male victim of domestic violence in the past year.¹
• Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy has noted, "We still have millions of women and men and children and families who are traumatized by abuse."²
• Nearly 250 scholarly studies confirm that fact.³

But a dwindling number of hold-outs still believe intimate partner violence against men isn’t even worth mentioning. Unfortunately, several of those persons currently work in the White House:

• Valerie Jarrett, director of the White House Council on Women and Girls, once said, "Domestic violence is still a major issue, not just for women but also for girls ⁴
• During a recent teleconference, Lynn Rosenthal, White House Advisor on Violence Against Women, repeatedly used the phrase, "violence against women." Lynn Rosenthal not once used the term, "violence against men," even though the call took place just two weeks after the murder of former NFL quarterback Steve McNair by his girlfriend.
• Despite repeated attempts to educate Vice President Joseph Biden about the truth of domestic violence, he continues to be a true believer in the myth that women never abuse.
