Thank you SO MUCH for your work on this! I did not know of that alarming number; 3 women are killed per day on average from an abusive partner - just awful. But wonderful to see that the law is working. Still, only 15 Republicans voted in favor of this? I just don't understand their thinking sometimes (unless it concerns money). I, myself, have called for protection, so this is very important to me. Thank you for your concern over ALL women in this important matter.

Please be a voice for women. We are coming of age since my mother's time but we still have a lot more things to do for all women. Please fight for the underdog because the Republicans will not. Thank you.

Thank you for making sure LGBT, Native American women, and women who are students are protected under the Domestic Violence Act (VAWA). It is critical that this legislation includes these groups which are often targets for domestic abuse. As a formerly abused student and wife, I am so glad to have you as my Senator, and appreciate all the great work you have done in building a better America. You can always count on my support in the future! Best regards,
Kathleen, Oakland

I was startled to hear that 3 women/day are killed by their partners. This is unacceptable. We don't have time to ask if someone is an immigrant, or anything except medical questions that can help save their lives!! Thank you for this information. I had no idea this was happening.
Cameron, Santa Clara

Thank you for your work on behalf of us women and all the rest of us. I am so glad you are my senator. I find it absolutely despicable of the House Republicans to leave so many of our sisters out of the protections this act provides. Native American, immigrant and LGBT women don't deserve to have the same protections the rest of us deserve? Good goddess, that's disgusting! Thank you again and keep up the good fight. Onward!

It is so important that we be inclusionary and protect all women from violence. Please continue to support the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) that stands strong against domestic violence Senator Boxer I thank you for supporting this bill. Sincerely,
Diane, Napa

I wholeheartedly support the Republicans' Bill over your bill.

No one deserves to be allowed to be the target of violence with impunity - regardless of their sex, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, sexual identity, ethnicity or any other cause without due reason - such as the use of violence in self-defence from physical assault. To deny anyone full and equal protection under the law, with respect to their personal safety from violent assault, is nothing more than a resort to barbarism that should never be tolerated in any civilized society. To believe otherwise is hypocrisy of the highest order.
Joanne, Hayward

Thank you for the work you are doing. I am one of the lucky women who have not been a victim of this sort of abhorrent behavior. I am very aware of the terrible problem that victimizes women of every stripe. Your efforts are well placed.
