Did you know that nearly one third of American women report being
physically or sexually abused by a male partner at some point in their
lives? Behind closed doors, women and children are being terrorized in
their own homes.
Our U.S. Postal Service will soon be unveiling a new postage stamp
featuring a "Stamp Out Domestic Violence" theme. The stamp will bring
support for the efforts of the National Domestic Violence Hotline to
stop domestic violence.
I am pleased about the national push for awareness and support for
programs. Please be sure to purchase the "Stamp Out Domestic Violence"
stamp.
With the season of goodwill around the corner, it is a perfect time to
help others less fortunate and make dreams come true for women and
children.
Please consider making a donation or becoming a volunteer to help where
you can make a difference!
Thanks and Bless you,
