Republicans Say No to VAWA!
As recently reported by SAVE, and editorialized by Phyllis Schlafly, On February 2, the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. That in itself is not remarkable. What is remarkable is that all eight Republicans voted “No” to the current Leahy version of the bill up for consideration. Schlafly was quick to pronounce that this admittedly thunderous moment was an indication that Washington Republicans were &ld

Survivors World welcomes Jack Stoskoph
'Survivors World' talks with Mr. Jack Stoskoph!! He is now a voice for male survivors, but before he was 4 he had already been introduced to the cruelty of sexual abuse.
Mr. Stoskoph is a powerful voice and is speaking publicly more often now as he has journeied through the battle of nightmares, addictions, marriage problems and more. It's not that he has fully recovered, but he is speaking up to bring truth to the issues of Male Survivors.
Men are often laughed at when they try to seek help from old fashioned resources designed to help women and children. In past generations we didn't raise our boys to have emotions or to feel pain; it was all about the strong and silent type. In reality, 21.7% of child rapes are boys under age eleven. Then as they grow more often then not, they become too old for the predetor to rape; instead the beatings and emotional destruction begin. Unfortunately there are not many trained available resources for male survivors. It is by bringing attention and voices to the lost that we can begin to change this. Our laws are in place, the language in VAWA Reauthorization allows for services to include men, but how can we change how society sees these men? Should they seek help? Will they be ostracized or laughed out of the building?
Join in as we talk with this one powerful voice, now coming alive over the blog talk radio networks and joining the Incest Survivors United Voices of America!! We hope you call in with your thoughts or join in the chat room, most importantly we hope you pass it forward. Remember 90% of Male Survivors never speak out or seek help!!Tags: Jack Stoskoph Sexual Abuse Incest Survivors United Voices of America Life Empowerment Resources and Recovery

The Freedom OF Speech Show With Andy Peacher
Jan Smith is a family rights activist and lobbyist located in WA State and a graduate from Evergreen State College. Starting in 2006, the state stepped in and took her grandson from the parents and sidestepped relative placement using unethical tactics with court behaviors violating all normal standards in the process. This caused Jan to seek out help while researching the topic of grandparent rights in WA State. After fighting the system for six years and two more grandchildren later, she is now nationally and internationally known with an extensive research background in child protection systems. She expanded her interests and activism into family law after discovering the unfair practices of child support collection along with obscure laws, rules and regulations in VAWA that parallel CPS actions. This is also a personal issue because Jan was an alienated child from one parent due to the adverse actions of her mother. On April 25th, she is staging an international public awareness campaign and protest with the UN and United Nations Association regarding international public policy on the family and will be in NYC UN headquarters for this event.
