Fathers: Get Ready for “Fix VAWA Now!” Campaign

One-quarter of all divorces now involve an allegation of domestic violence. In about 80% of cases, the allegation is unnecessary or false. The accusation begins a series of legal maneuvers and decisions in which the son or daughter eventually loses daily loving contact with dad.

Needless to say, this is a negation of justice and a terrible thing to do to a father and a child.

On July 4 RADAR will be launching its biggest campaign ever: "Fix VAWA Now!" The five-month campaign will feature a media blitz, lobbying, grass-roots education, release of Special Reports, and much more.

Each month will be devoted to a different topic:

July – Impact of VAWA on the legal system
August – How VAWA harms the African-American community
September – Illegal immigration
October – Impact of VAWA on the family
November – Discrimination against underserved victims

We want every American voter to understand that the Violence Against Women Act is one of the most harmful pieces of social legislation ever introduced. That will give us a fighting chance of reforming the next version of VAWA, which Sen. Joe Biden will be introducing in
early 2009.
