CRAPO TO RALLY AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN=20

COEUR D'ALENE

=20

Washington, DC - Idaho Senator Mike Crapo will speak against domestic
violence and about federal help for victims during a visit to Coeur
d'Alene this Saturday.  Crapo will keynote the annual meeting for the
Coeur d'Alene Women's Center with an update on legislative efforts to
stop domestic violence.

=20

"The Women's Center epitomizes how programs to stop violence against
women and children should work," Crapo noted.  "The effort is rooted at
the local level and includes faith-based organizations, local law
enforcement and the education community.  The Center builds on successes
at the local level to ably garner additional support and resources from
the state and federal governments.  The 20-year history of the Coeur
d'Alene Women's Center is a model other communities can build on to
rally against family violence."

=20

Crapo has provided leadership in domestic violence and abuse issues
since he was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1998.   He used Idaho's
Cassie's Law as the impetus to make changes in federal law that
recognized, for the first time, that those in dating relationships can
also be victims of domestic violence.  The changes allowed those
individuals to receive federal assistance and participate in federal
domestic violence programs.  He sponsored legislation on teen dating
violence and partnered with the Department of Justice, the American Bar
Association and private firms like Liz Claiborne to create anti-abuse
curriculums for schools.  He has led the fight annually for the funding
of anti-violence programs and has been credited with stopping attempts
by federal government budget writers to raid trust funds designated to
assist women and child victims of family violence.  Those trust funds
contain fines that are paid by individuals who are convicted of abuse
crimes and do not contain any taxpayer funds. =20

=20

"All aspects of domestic violence must continue to be addressed, from
crisis intervention and emergency response and support, to shelter,
counseling, prosecution and the long process of rebuilding lives of hope
through empowerment and changes in behaviors and attitudes," Crapo said.
"Men have an important role to play to condemn family violence and set
an example by speaking out and holding others accountable for their
actions."
