Bush plans to end program which aids victims of violence and abuse

[ck4829]

President Bush wants to end funding for a program that aids victims of violence, a budget-cutting proposal that two Republican lawmakers from Tennessee said they oppose for the second straight year.

Victim rights advocates say that for the second year in a row, that money is in danger of disappearing.

The Bush administration's recommended fiscal 2007 budget would end funding for victims assistance programs by moving about $1.3 billion to the general treasury. That would leave a zero balance by 2008.

Last year more than $10 million went to Tennessee from two victims assistance programs started by the 1984 federal law.

1. See, Bush is the decider and he decided it's better to codify torture and

kill hundreds of thousands in war than to fund programs for victims of violence and abuse. See how this works? The repukes love death and torture, which is why they defunded these programs

2. See, the violent and abusive are a big part of his base.
