YOU'VE HELPED PUT RAPISTS BEHIND BARS
Can we get rapists off our streets and behind bars? Yes, thanks to the efforts of Lifetime Television and people like you. More than 110,000 viewers signed a critical petition supporting the Justice for All Act of 2004 and made a crucial difference in assuring the recent Senate and House passage of the bill.
This significant legislation will eliminate the backlog of untested DNA evidence by providing $1 billion in funding over five years to significantly improve the collection and processing of DNA evidence, and better train police officers, sexual assault forensic nurses and prosecutors. Enactment of this bill will help law enforcement solve as many as 67,000 open rape cases, prevent many thousands of rapes, and offer peace to countless rape survivors and their families. The passage of this bill marks a major victory for women and families everywhere and for Lifetime's Emmy Awardwinning campaign My Lifetime Commitment: Stop Violence Against Women.
"This bill is truly a Lifetime [Television] bill," says rape survivor and activist Debbie Smith, who delivered the whopping petition from LifetimeTV.com to Congress.
Thanks to your support, the bill is now on its way to the White House for President Bush's signature.
