From Fox31, about the U.S. Congressman and moderate-liberal Democrat's push for reauthorize the Act: "2nd District Georgia Congressman Sanford Bishop has joined with multiple colleauges for a bipartizan urge to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. 'We write today asking you to move quickly on the reauthorization of the
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) by bringing a bill inclusive of
protections for all victims of domestic violence, similar to that which
has already passed the Senate, to the House floor for a vote during
these final weeks of the 112th Congress,' the letter states. 'The
Violence Against Women Act is crucial for the victims of domestic
violence and those agencies and organizations who serve them. We must
send the President a strong, bipartisan bill that protects all those
vulnerable to domestic violence.'"
