Domestic violence and sexual assault programs are facing a crisis. State funding and donations are down, while demand for services is skyrocketing. Shelters are operating over capacity and are turning victims away. Federal funding of programs is essential

NOted and signed! Also bookmarked this site... after suffering for 15 years at the hands of a physical, mental and emotional abuser, I have an extremely strong stance against Domestic Violence. It nearly ruined my life, and my kids lives. I finally had the courage to get out, after hiding it from everyone for those 15 years. He threatened to kill me on numerous occasions, kicking in my front door, running into my car, and more. He was already violent enough, then I found out he was on "Meth"... which just exacerbated the situation 100 fold. He also had been trying to get me in trouble with the law by planting some kind of homemade pipe in my vehicle. Luckily the police were watching him instead and after I finally got out, he waa arrested, stayed in jail for months, and then on probation and still is.

The wounds I have remain, they are healing, but the terror seems to never completely leave...
