The conference attendees will include a spectrum of the domestic violence industry, such as social workers, psychologists, nurses, military personnel, attorneys, law enforcement, researchers, advocates, marriage & family therapists, policy-makers, physicians, shelter & crisis center staff, survivors, etc.

Here is the part that most people miss. This isn't just bad legislation, IT'S AN INDUSTRY! Look at all of the people who make a living by things like this being perpetuated. The one's who are not government employees usually operate either with federal funding or are funded by some person or group that congress or the courts have ordered to pay for it. Riddle me this...excluding the military, what part of the federal government has ever had it's headcount or funding (in real dollars, not fuzzy math) reduced? I can't think of any. For instance, take the "family courts." Look at all of the public and private sector jobs that depend on the misery of caused by divorce and bitter custody battles. They should be more appropriately named the "anti-family courts" since they almost always destroy any families that come in contact with them.

It is NEVER reall about helping people...it's about to things...money and control. Take those two items out of the equation and all of the so-called caring people in the industry will go find something else to do for a living.

I have said it for years, DEFUND THE LEFT. This should be the Republican Congress's top priority.
