I called the number myself and left a message, and they called back and left me a message apologizing for excluding male victims and saying they did that to get the public's interest. Amazing how they foster existing steretoypes just by playing off them and create their own relentless cycle of abuse against males. Marc. Here's the announcement from Steve __________
Today's paper, Fort Bragg Advocate News, has this submission from
Project Sanctuary "A woman is beaten every 12 seconds" (and you thought it was "in this nation Eighteen percent of all law enforcement deaths are the result of responding to domestic violence calls. These are facts that society lives with. Project Sanctuary is accepting application for the fall 2003 volunteer training. Volunteers are essential to the operation of Project Sanctuary..."
So, anyone out there who is wishing to call to volunteer, OR TO ASK THEM WHERE THEY GET THIS INFO ... the number is 707 961 1507 ... If you call long distance, I will reimburse you for the call. Anyone who wants to give me some statistics related to police deaths, or the 12 seconds stuff ... send same e mail to me, for my next letter to the editor... Please let me know what responses you had when you questioned where this 12 second statistic came from. I would appreciate it if they heard from more than one person, I like them to know that they are being watched.
