<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">Thanks for the information. It certainly is great news. I know personally, that you have worked hard on stopping violence against women in Idaho and on legislation for the State. Thanks for your hard work.</SPAN></div>

<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">I hope someday Idaho will feel the same way about stopping violence against everyone. Bullying in schools, and violence against minorities, Gays, Lesbians, and the transgendered, is still a huge problem in Idaho that the legislature seems to ignore. </SPAN></div>

those law enforcement officers, victim service providers and court personnel who are working on the <SPAN id=misspell-21 class=mark>frontlines</SPAN> to eliminate domestic violence.
