2. Jane Fonda's interview was great earlier tonight on CNN.

She is so sharp. I didn't realize that she was/is also on Piers tonight. I will need to find that.

I saw the Kerry Washington interview with Katie a couple of days ago. I am a big big fan of Kerry. Will watch Jay tonight to see Anne.

5. Just go out in the street.

Talk to neighbors and strangers. Talk to the people that work at the grocery store, the drug store, the coffee shop.

Tell them that 1/3 of all women in the world will experience sexual or physical violence in their lifetime.

Oh, and tell them about the 22 Republican US Senators that voted against the VAWA.

7. thank you for those links. I do as you suggested a good deal of the time anyway. it is

almost beyond comprehension that we no longer have VAWA, and that we are one of the very few countries not signatory to CEDAW.
