"[L]ooking to their Representatives in the House to protect them and their loved ones and to safeguard our states [sic] future" is part of the problem- why are our citizens always looking to the government for solutions? Enough with the dramatic hand-wringing and get down to facts- it takes ACTION to prevent domestic abuse, not throwing money at it. How many of the killers are mentally unfit to stand trial? Would more money have prevented the murders? Once again, the average citizen will be paying for the sins of others- an increase in the Marriage License "Fee" (tax) under the current proposal. Why not get it from a Victim Relief Fund assessed by the courts from the perpetrators of domestic violence? It's a rhetorical question: because it wouldn't provide near as much funding for you as raising a tax on EVERYONE getting a marriage license. The old, "If it saves just one life" argument is a staple of liberal politics, using emotional language and hoping to "guilt" folks into support.
