Congress and Domestic Violence

I guess Congress has MANY issues to deal with including the funds for Domestic Violence. We're kind of stretching the budget by trying to keep the funds going for Domestic Violence Centers. But, according to the article these centers are essential and they must be kept. The resources for teens and any person of any age must be kept open to offer its sources. Unfortunately there might be mid-year budget cuts toward programs directed to people that sustained abuse and many people are afraid of what the consequences could be if we go back to the days without these centers. Much to their dismay more and more people are being sent to centers due to the economic crisis and a lot of the centers are having a really hard time keeping up with the demand. Many ccenters have already put a limit and some have even closed down because of insufficient funds. The legislation of Schock and Moore would increase the authorization level for shelters and programs from 175 million to 250 million. The Doomestic Violence hotline would also become more efficient and offer more tools by allowing text messaging and instant messaging. Congress seems to have its hands full at the moment and hopefully we have enough money to help these centers out. Only they know how far we are into debt. If the funds are not granted then who knows what could happen to all of the resources the victims of abuse may have.

Goodnight.
