VAWA Funding Increased by $100 Million
Submitted by Roy on Sat, 2007-03-24 16:28
An excited e-mail from Lucy Melvin lmelvin-at-nnedv.org (National Network to End Domestic Violence) announces:
"VICTORY -- The Biden VAWA Budget amendment passed unanimously on 3/23/07! Our efforts paid off! The Biden amendment to the budget will increase the funds available for VAWA programs by $100 million. This is critical in our efforts to increase funding for VAWA in the Budget and Appropriations process for FY 2008. This is a HUGE SUCCESS -- and it is DIRECTLY due to your calls. Now that the Biden amendment has passed, the Senate Budget Resolution includes more money that can be available for VAWA programs."

Passed What?
What did it pass? The Senate or House or both?
What?
I believe it was merely a Senate appropriation ammendment that adds $100 million to a bill yet to be passed in further deliberations in Congress.
I believe RADAR would be the authoritative source for this info and all strategies and holidays related to the eventual passing of this bill.
Be sure to write your Congressperson!

Sure, let's fund the feminist farce!
What’s that you say?
Increase funds to support our troops in harms-way?
Forget about it!
