Our Topic(s) today: “Breast Cancer and Domestic Awareness.”

 

Breast Cancer Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. We have made a lot of progress but still have a long way to go and need your help!

 Domestic Violence

Domestic violence may include not only the intimate partner relationships of spousal, live-in partners and dating relationships, also familial, elder and child abuse may be present in a violent home. Abuse generally falls into one or more of the following categories: physical battering, sexual assault and emotional or psychological abuse, and generally escalates over a period of time.  click here for more information:  http://www.ncadv.org/learn/TheProblem.php

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

 

 

Is domestic violence a national health emergency?

NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH, 2013

- - - - - - -

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

Since the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) nearly 20 years ago, our Nation's response to domestic violence has greatly improved. What was too often seen as a private matter best hidden behind closed doors is now an established issue of national concern. We have changed our laws, transformed our culture, and improved support services for survivors. We have seen a significant drop in domestic violence homicides and improved training for police, prosecutors, and advocates. Yet we must do more to provide protection and justice for survivors and to prevent violence from occurring. During National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we stand with domestic abuse survivors, celebrate our Nation's progress in combatting these despicable crimes, and resolve to carry on until domestic violence is no more.

Government Shutdown Looms

Here we go with another threat to shut down the government. Haven’t we gone through this at least 1 to many times? Here is a suggestion, may be the answer to these continuing budget fights and government shutdowns as well as sequestrations is to link Congress’ pay the accomplishments of passing timely budgets. If they don’t pass a complete budget we reduce their pay to a minimum wage. Also we should look at forcing them to add all budgetary matters into 1 annual budget instead of having many pieces passed throughout a year.

Call those that want to shut down the government and let them know how you feel:
