Dennis Ross Voted NO on reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act The Congressional Summary of that Act are a follows: Amends the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) to add or expand definitions of several terms used in such Act, including : 1."culturally specific services" to mean community-based services that offer culturally relevant and linguistically specific services and resources to culturally specific communities; 2."personally identifying information" with respect to a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking; 3."underserved populations" as populations that face barriers in accessing and using victim services because of geographic location, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity; and 4."youth" to mean a person who is 11 to 24 years old. The act's grants have encouraged states to implement "mandatory-arrest" policies, under which police responding to domestic-violence calls are required to make an arrest. These policies were intended to combat the too-common situation in which a victim is intimidated into recanting an abuse accusations. Reason for him voting no is because this bill covers Lesbians and Gays. He feels because they are who they are they have no rights as a human being under this law therefore he punished everyone for their mothers and fathers for giving birth to these people who he considers to be a abomination to society according to the Tea Party and his religion. So because of this Dennis Ross is a hypocrite when he speaks against abortion since he believes these people with sexual differences should have been removed from the womb. please donate Loretta Miller for Congress Fl District 15 https://leahlax1950.wixsite.com/mysite
