Poll List:  



Violence Against Women Act

The House has passed a measure that would reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, but that version is very different from the one the Senate passed last month. The Senate version would expand coverage for illegal immigrants and Native Americans who are victims of domestic abuse. It also specifies the inclusion of gay, lesbian and transgender victims.

Should the Violence Against Women Act be expanded to cover illegal immigrants, gay, lesbian and transgender victims?
  Yes, for all victims
  Yes, but only for illegal immigrant victims
  Yes, but only for gay, lesbian and transgender victims
  No for illegal immigrant, gay, lesbian and transgender victims
