Well, if this is for all and this is for everybody, why attempt to strip out essential protections for immigrants, tribal, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender victims? Do they not feel the same pain? Once again, we have to stand up and fight for equal protections for all victims. The Senate seems to get what this body does not: we are all in this together. These victims are not nameless, faceless members of some group of ``others.'' They are our friends, our neighbors, our family members.
