On the recordFebruary 28, 2013

I rise this morning to speak in favor of S. 47, the Senate version of the Violence Against Women Act. I want to thank Speaker Boehner and Leader Cantor for their leadership in bringing this important bill to the floor. The bottom line is that VAWA programs help save lives in New Jersey and across America.

While we are long overdue in passing this bill, I'm glad we are here today, and I urge my colleagues to support S. 47.

Any impediments to veterans who might show clear and irrefutable evidence that they should be granted benefits, should be considered.
