Republicans And The Violence Against Women Act


It's interesting to note who, in congress, voted against the 1994 Violence Against Women Act. It passed, but not with the help of Republican representatives from the Midwest. Apparently, any protections and assistantance afforded domestic violence victims bothers these people in some way. Pat Roberts, of Kansas, did not want to see any legal protection granted to domestic violence victims. For an all inclusive list of representatives who weighed in against the Violence Against Women Act, click here.  Pat Roberts has also been yammering, without really saying anything meaningful, about the President's State of the Union address last night. He wants the President to do something about the economy, specifically, unemployment, but then accuses the President of doing nothing but "raising taxes", when the President's republican predecessor did nothing but deregulate the banking industry and allow American jobs to disappear into other countries at the same time. It's likely that Pat Roberts is really just voicing the concerns of the Koch Brothers.
