So???????  what a telling response.  I never thought it would be 
from you, though,  Roger. I thought you would be a more compassionate 
person than just “So???”  Tell me I’m right.

>BIPARTISAN  LEGISLATION TO SUPPORT VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE SIGNED INTO LAW 
>  Violence Against  Women Act Reauthorized Another Five Years 
>WASHINGTON  (Thursday, March 7, 2013) - The reauthorization of the Violence Against Women  Act (VAWA), signed into law today by President Barack Obama, will strengthen  programs and policies meant to prevent domestic and sexual violence and  protect victims, ensuring continued services for victims of domestic violence  and sexual assault. Senators Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) and Mike Crapo  (R-Idaho), the bill's lead Senate authors, both attended a White House signing  ceremony Thursday, and called the bill's long overdue enactment a bright spot  in a divided Congress.
>Leahy, who as  Senate President Pro Tem is a member of Senate leadership, insisted that the  chamber act quickly to reauthorize the measure this year.
>"We made the  Violence Against Women Act our top priority this Congress, and today,  President Obama signed this vital legislation into law.  At a time when  we face gridlock and stonewalling on even the most compelling issues, I am  glad to see that we acted in a bipartisan manner to help victims of violence  in Vermont and across the country," said Leahy. "Today, victims of violence,  members of law enforcement and those committed to working against domestic and  sexual violence celebrate the signing of this important law, and I applaud  them for their work and dedication to seeing that the Violence Against Women  Act be reauthorized this year."
>"VAWA is being  signed because of the many advocates and victims of crime in Idaho and across  the country who have assisted us in passing this critical legislation," Crapo  said.  "Sadly, Idaho has already seen four deaths this year linked to  domestic violence, but national statistics show VAWA is working to reduce  domestic crimes by a third. Those four lives in Idaho further prove the  importance of having this act in place.
>"Violence against women  and girls violates what we believe in and is not consistent with our values of  a compassionate community where violence is never tolerated," said Kelly  Miller, Executive Director, Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic  Violence. "We are so grateful to Senator Crapo for his national leadership in  the passage of a bipartisan and inclusive Violence Against Women  Reauthorization Act."  Miller was in Washington, D.C. to attend the  signing ceremony. 
>The law signed by  the President today renews VAWA's charter for another five years, and includes  new and vital protections for all victims of domestic violence. The law also  seeks to reduce the backlog of untested rape kits throughout the country,  provides needed assistance to law enforcement in prosecuting sexual assault  crimes, and assists law enforcement in investigating human trafficking crimes  by also reauthorizing for four years the Trafficking Victims Protection Act,  which expired in September 2011.  
>"As a husband,  father, and grandfather, and as a former prosecutor who saw the aftermath of  this type of violence firsthand, I am honored to have worked to reauthorize  the Violence Against Women Act," said Leahy. "I applaud the hard work of  Senator Crapo and many others, and I thank President Obama for signing our  bill into law today."
>"Chairman Leahy  deserves the gratitude of all Americans for his leadership on this  legislation," Crapo added.  "If just one life is saved because of VAWA,  then our work has been worth it.  We must continue to advocate for the  victims and agencies that assist those hurt by domestic and sexual  abuse.  While the signing of VAWA will help save countless lives, we need  to ensure we continue to have the most up-to-date protections to stop this  violence in place."
>EDITORS:   Photos of Idahoans at the signing ceremony are available.
