RADAR ALERT:
Step 6: Now Tell Us About Your Successes!
If you have followed the first five Alerts, you have already requested a
meeting with your Congressman. (If you haven't done this yet, it's not
too late to request your meeting - but time is running out!!)
As soon as you hold your meeting, please report the results of your
meeting to RADAR. Please answer these 5 questions:
-
Name of Congressman (or Senator) and state
-
Date of your meeting
-
Did the staffer or Congressman appear to be supportive of your request to call for civil rights hearings on VAWA abuse?
-
Were there any particular sub-issues (false accusation, male victims, mandatory arrest, etc.) that particularly attracted the staffer's interest?
-
Other comments
Please send your information to RADAR at
. We
will compile this information and provide feedback shortly after the
November 7 election.
Date of RADAR Release: August 7, 2006
