It's pretty revealing that the very people who are so strongly against the Patriot Act for its violations of civil rights are strangely silent in regards to VAWA. (No, not just this new incarnation of the law, but the original 1994 version also.)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the ACLU itself even had a section on their site devoted to Violence Against Women and was urging people to contact their representatives and tell them to vote for VAWA. The very people who supposedly stand for civil liberties are some of the strongest supporters of a law which denies men their basic civil liberties.
I'm not seeing any call to arms, nor do I remember getting any emails from the ACLU asking me to phone regarding VAWA, but then again, it could have been taken down from the site by now and I could have missed the email.
I did email the ACLU and asked them about their lack of concern for Men's Rights. It would seem they have everyone else covered. I told them I wouldn't be renewing my membership until I received satisfactory answers.
It would be nice if others wrote to them as well.
