There seems to be a grave error in the writing of the US
Constitution because it failed to put in place specific protections for the
very women who populated this Great nation. Who were our Forefathers, these men
who denied the right to vote to slaves and the women who shared their beds. As a
man I like to think they were all honorable men. However common sense dictates
that at least a few abused their own wives and daughters. They framed the
Constitution as well as the notion that a man's home is his castle, despite the
fact that, even in that era, women bought home everything but the bacon.
Cooking. Cleaning. Shopping. Pregnant. Raising Children. The list
endless.
In 2011 women do have the right to vote but outdated laws still
fail to protect her from abuse in her own castle. On every street in America
lives a woman being tortured by a manipulative spouse with no end in sight. Fear
and shame grips her, preventing her from seeking the help she need. It is time
society gave her such help by enacting a NATIONAL WATCH-LIST FOR CONVICTED
ABUSERS OF WOMEN.
This Petition is a grass roots effort started on Twitter and all
social sites in an effort to have President Obama signed THE NATIONAL
WATCH-LIST FOR CONVICTED ABUSERS OF WOMEN into law prior to him leaving
office.
Such a Watch-list would be compiled from conviction records already
in the public domain, and maintained by each state. Just like sex offenders, a
Watch-list would alert a woman who the abusers are in her social circles. Most
abusers leave behind a lifetime of victims.
For the abuser without a conviction the Watch-list would keep his
fist in check. The woman he has abused in the past would now have a powerful
weapon upon which to use against the pain he has caused her, for they both
realized the shame and public condemnation his name on THE NATIONAL
WATCH-LIST FOR CONVICTED ABUSERS OF WOMEN would cause.
You are asked to not only sign this Petition but join in this grass
roots crusade to protect women you know are being abused. If you do not know,
ask a neighbor. The pain of abuse is that widespread in America. For this
reason, if you choose to do nothing else, please spread the word about this
Petition for a NATIONAL WATCH-LIST FOR CONVICTED ABUSERS OF
WOMEN.
