The President Of the
United States
Dear Mr. President
I am
writing concerning the Proclaim regarding National Domestic Violence Awareness
Month
I am
very concern since it only takes in one side of this issue.
There is an enormous amount of UNBIASED evidence that as many men are
victims of domestic violence as are women.
Lets look at a few facts:
1:
MEN are battered as often as women:

EXAMINING ASSAULTS BY WOMEN ON THEIR SPOUSES OR MALE PARTNERS: AN ANNOTATED
BIBLIOGRAPHY

SUMMARY: This bibliography examines 122 scholarly investigations, 99 empirical
studies and 23 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as
physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships
with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed
studies exceeds 77,000.

Many
of the “facts” that say 95% of all victims are women are taken from women
shelter surveys. Would not this be
like asking the American Pork Association what the best meat is?
MEN
are falsely accused
The
Violence Against Women Act rewards women for being abused.
YES we know many are. However
when we give perks for being a victim, we will find many more then really exists
Before this act was passed, many tried to suggest it be the Domestic Violence
Act to protect ALL our people. As
it is there is not one dime to assist battered MEN.
Mr. President, This is NOT Equal protection Under the Law.

We
have a large amount of information regarding this on our web site.
PLEASE have someone look at it. Also,
many other much more knowledgeable people then I have tried to have input in
this issue but they have been totally ignored because of a gender feminist
agenda.
I am
also very concerned about many more murder/suicides.
I firmly believe many of these are due to false accusations for which
these men know they will lose everything they had including their children with
out due process of law. I have many
in our organization this has happened to…. Except the murder/suicide of
course. I know of web sites that
brag about making their ex husband their slave…using the courts to do so.
Is this fair?
This
is the introduction to this group:
Description
Category: Divorce A serious and supportive discussion forum for divorced or
legally separated women to discuss how they have used divorce, child support,
alimony and the courts to make their ex-husbands their financial slaves. Also
how ex-wives have used the psychology of divorce to turn their ex-husbands into
servants and slaves for their own amusement and enrichment. A forum for women to
share their success stories in humiliating and bankrupting ex-husbands--and then
moving on, with their ex's money, to better relationships with more attractive
men. Humiliation. Revenge. Female power. Female financial domination. No doubt
about it: For many women, divorce can be the road to the easy life--and wealth
and riches. And the beauty of it all is that it's all done at the expense of
your ex, who now is your financial slave. This list is about placing your ex in
psychological and financial bondage. Discuss the tactics--and laugh about
it--here.

Mr. President, it is true that more women are seriously injured
in domestic violence, but could it be that this occurs after they have
been beating the man until he has reached the breaking point?
Women’s shelters say
NEVER ASK WHY for it is blaming the victim.
I say we need to ask why at some point so we know they are not willfully
pushing the right buttons.
There are many more
things I would like to mention but this is already too long.
Things such as the result of fatherless
homes which our court system is producing in record numbers by its bias
against fathers.
Mr., President we are
faith based. We do
approach this from both sides as we do value all our people. Is it not time our
society does too? Remember,
the Psalmist prayed, “Search ME Oh Lord…Not search my husband or search my
wife.
Is it not time to
expect all our people to have personal responsibility and accountability?
