To add insult to injury, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports in Byrne Program and Violence Against Women Office Grant Monitoring Should Be Better Documented[7], Problems with Grant Monitoring and Concerns About Evaluation Studies[8], and One Byrne Evaluation Was Rigorous; All Reviewed Violence Against Women Office Evaluations Were Problematic[9]. that the vast majority of funding for VAWA cannot be accounted for.

The real legacy of Senator Biden's legal hippogriff shows that it:

1) fails, then victimizes those it claims to serve,

2) through its funding, intentionally excludes more than half the victims of domestic violence from receiving protection and services,


3) is the source of widespread civil and human rights abuses, and

4) proportionally speaking, is one of the greatest examples of the failure in accountability of our government's spending.

However, the destruction of American families, violating the civil and human rights of US citizens, victimizing victims of abuse, and imposing ideology on the people of this country are not enough for Senator Biden. We now know that VAWA was just the opening act for an even greater evil -- the international deployment of American tyranny through the Senator's latest work, the international Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA).

I-VAWA makes the imposition of ideology of VAWA look like child's play. Within the proposed I-VAWA is carefully crafted verbiage presented as being protection of a woman's "right to choice." Review of this legislation shows that this section could make expressing an opinion contrary to someone's female intimate partner's desire to have an abortion a federal offense.

For the first time in American history, this act could make expressing an opinion contrary to popular ideology a criminal act. This cannot be tolerated and must be opposed by everyone who values our freedom. A person's personal choice is their natural right; imposing ideology through the effect and force of law destroys all our right to choose, speak freely and more.

We call those who use violence to suppress the will of their own people and impose their ideology, tyrants and those that use violence to impose their will on world at large, terrorists.

However, not all of the violence in our country is acted out solely by foreign tyrants and terrorists. Much of it is here at home, concealed, and promoted under the guise of helping victims of abuse, funded by federal programs over a decade old.

Senator Biden needs to be reminded what we call those who use violence to suppress the will of their own people and impose their ideology on them. This is how VAWA has operated here at home. He must also be reminded what those who use violence and oppression to impose their will on world at large are called.

I-VAWA will do both damages to the world at large and once again, all done under the guise of protecting victims of abuse. The promulgation of I-VAWA would make the United States of America the largest and most powerful exporter of terrorism in all of recorded history.

Given the Senator's supreme knowledge and experiences, making such a conscious choice in the face of overwhelming evidence of VAWA's failures and destructive forces makes Senator Biden the most dangerous man in America, if not the world.
