End the Obstruction and Confirm Judges!The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) has improved responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking victims in the United States. Yet H.R. 4970 rolls back parts of the current law on protecting immigrant victims of domestic violence and provisions in the bipartisan passed Senate bill. These provisions of H.R. 4970 are an attack on women. >>Violence Against Women Act House Resolution End the Obstruction and Confirm Judges!A diverse group of extremely qualified judicial nominees have been awaiting votes for an average of more than 100 days. Many of these individuals were approved unanimously by the Senate Judiciary Committee. For far too long, a small group of extremist senators have held up these important votes. Senators must be told to end the obstruction and vote on these judicial nominees. >>Call your senators and urge them to vote on President Obama’s judicial nominees. Take a Stand Against Gridlock: Pass the American Jobs Act!Your calls made the difference. The House and Senate reached a compromise around the payroll tax cut and extension of jobless benefits/unemployment insurance. This middle-class tax cut (the payroll tax cut) was part of this broader jobs plan introduced last fall. Obama's American Jobs Act must be considered by the Senate. >> Write to your senators today and tell them to support the American Jobs Act and put Americans back to work. Want Some Help?
