Cuccinelli was the Republican nominee for Governor of Virginia in the 2013 election. He was the only gubernatorial candidate to file for the party's statewide primary convention by the January 14, 2013 deadline.[1] He faced Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe and Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis in the general election on November 5, 2013, coming in a close second to McAuliffe.[2]
A February 2013 article in Governing named Cuccinelli as one of the top state Republican officials to watch in 2013.[3]
Cuccinelli is both the business owner and partner in the law firm of Cuccinelli & Day, PLLC, located in Fairfax, Virginia. He is a business attorney that specializes in intellectual property protection and patents, often serving as an independent counsel for smaller business owners. Additionally, Cuccinelli has served since 1997 as a court appointed lawyer for those individuals placed within the state's involuntary civil commitment process.

Political Career
Virginia Attorney General (2009-present)
On Monday, August 2, 2010, Cuccinelli published an opinion based on an inquest made by State Representative Bob Marshall concerning Prince William County's implementation of a "law that requires police to check the immigration status of everyone they arrest -- but not everyone they come in legal contact with."[4] Virginia's top law enforcer argued that state "law enforcement officers, including conservation officers may, like Arizona police officers, inquire into the immigration status of persons stopped or arrested." [5] Cuccinelli noted, however, that, unlike under Arizona's SB 1070, Virginia state law does not require them to do so.
Nearly two weeks after the United States Justice Department filed suit against the state of Arizona over its anti-illegal immigration law, Senate Bill 1070 - The Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (SB 1070), contending that it "interferes with federal immigration responsibilities," Cuccinelli joined eight other Republican state attorneys general in filing an amicus brief in support of the measure. [6] [7] The Virginia Attorney General remarked that he was stunned by the suit considering that "Arizona's law maintains the "joint federal-state cooperative immigration enforcement program" established by Congress," rather then combats it as United States Attorney General Eric Holder contends. [8]
Cuccinelli announced on February 17, 2010, that he had filed petitions with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. to reverse a finding by the Obama administration that declared carbon dioxide a danger to public health that contributes to global warming. He is one of two state attorneys general, both Republican, openly challenging the Democratic White House on this issue. [9]
In his own state, Cuccinelli used Virginia's "Fraud against Taxpayer's Act," to bring a case against a climate scientist. On March 2, 2013, the Virginia Supreme Court announced that it had sided with the University of Virginia in Cuccinelli's investigation of Michael Mann, a former climate scientist at the University of Virginia. Cuccinelli claimed Mann committed fraud against taxpayers while studying climate change. Cuccinelli believed Mann manipulated his data in order to secure more federal grants. The court ruled first against the language of the law and it's inability to affect state agencies like the university. Supreme Court Justice Leroy Millette wrote "In sum, neither by express language nor by necessary implication does FATA provide the Attorney General with authority to issue CIDs to commonwealth agencies."[10]
Freedom of information laws
In May 2013, it was reported that Cuccinelli believes Virginia's freedom of information laws do not apply to the Office of the Attorney General. While the office has continued to respond to requests for documents under the law, the fulfilled requests began including information saying FOIA does not apply to the office, citing a 2011 Virginia Supreme Court case. The case in question, Christian v. SCC, ruled that since the Virginia State Corporation Commission's authority comes not from the legislature but is created in the Virginia Constitution, it is not considered a "public body" and is therefore exempt from public records law. Senior Assistant Attorney General James E. Schliessmann said that since the Office of the Attorney General is also constitutionally established, it is also exempt from FOIA.[11]
Healthcare reform
One week after the Virginia General Assembly passed a "bill that would make it illegal for the [federal] government to require individuals [within the state] to purchase health insurance," a precautionary measure being considered by thirty-seven other states in case Congressional Democratic leadership in Washington D.C. were able to pass their far-reaching healthcare reform legislation, Cuccinelli announced "Virginia will file suit against the federal government if" the United States House of Representatives passed the Senate version of the healthcare measure, as was expected to occur before the Easter recess [12] [13]
In addition to this, the Virginia Attorney General also issued a letter addressed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) warning her that if she chose to enact the healthcare reform bill through the use of the "deem and pass" or Slaughter Solution, which would avoid the need for a conventional House vote, more constitutional challenges would be filed by the states, including Virginia. Speaking with Greta Van Susteren on her FOX News program on Thursday, March 18, Cuccinelli said he would appear in court the very next week after President Obama signed the bill if the House used the unconstitutional "deem and pass" rule to enact it. [14] Ultimately, the House decided against using the controversial tactic to pass the Senate's version of the health care bill. [15]
The morning after the United States House of Representatives narrowly passed the Senate reconciliation bill, Cuccinelli said he would follow through with his threat and file suit against the federal government. He was expected to "argue that the bill, with its mandate that requires nearly every American to be insured by 2014, violates the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution." [16] [17]
After Cuccinelli filed suit in Commonwealth of Virginia v. Sebilius on Tuesday, March 23, 2010, the federal government responded by moving to have Cuccinelli's lawsuit dismissed. In a press release, Cuccinelli cited the Tenth Amendment, arguing that Virginia had sovereignty on healthcare policy because the Constitution of the United States did not give the federal government the power to mandate that all citizens purchase a product or service. Thus, Cuccinelli argued, under the Tenth Amendment, the Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act should remain sovereign. He added this opinion to his argument based on the Commerce Clause. [18]
The Virginia Attorney General argued not only would the litigation against the federal health care measure cost no more than the $350 legally required filing fee, it could ultimately "save the commonwealth more than $1 billion in estimated costs." [19] The health care overhaul is expected to cost the state of Virginia $1.1 billion over seven years, beginning in 2015, mainly as a result of the new Medicaid requirements, according to estimates calculated by the governor's office.
Virginia Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli told Greta Van Susteren that the ruling finding the individual mandate unconstitutional eliminates the funding mechanism for Obamacare.
On Monday, August 2, 2010, the Honorable Henry Hudson, a federal judge for United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, ruled "that the state of Virginia could proceed with its challenge to President Barack Obama's landmark healthcare law." [20] Though refusing to comment on the arguments in the case at this point, Hudson did however note that the issue raised by the states, specifically whether or not the federal government has the authority under the Commerce Clause to force citizens to purchase insurance, had not yet fully been tested in the court system. Furthermore, he stated that he had "not [been] persuaded that the Secretary has demonstrated a failure to state a cause of action with respect to the Commerce Clause element." [21] [22]
On October 18, 2010, the first day the suit was presented before the court, Judge Henry E. Hudson remarked that he would have a decision by the end of the year. However, he also acknowledged that his decision would be "only one brief stop on the way to the United States Supreme Court." [23]
Nearly two months later, Judge Hudson had reached a decision, ruling that the requirement that all individuals purchase health care coverage under the "individual mandate" exceeded "the constitutional boundaries of congressional power." [24] He rejected the Obama Administration's argument that the federal government has the authority to implement the "individual mandate" under the provisions of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution. Judge Hudson noted that "same reasoning could apply to transportation, housing or nutritional decisions" and that "this broad definition of the economic activity subject to congressional regulation lacks logical limitation." [25] In spite of his ruling striking down a key component of the federal health care reform measure, Judge Hudson refused to issue an injunction "stopping implementation of the entire law," noting that the unconstitutional elements of the law could be severed from the whole. [26] But since the "individual mandate" "collects most of the money that is supposed to flow into the system from millions of additional participants," analysts contend, the loss of this portion of the law makes its execution "severely compromised and could rock the foundation of other provisions in the legislation." [27]
State-funded charities
Cuccinelli's office released an advisory opinion in early 2011 regarding state funding for charities, which triggered scrutiny of how to fund charities with tax dollars as they develop criteria to weed through hundreds of nonprofits current receiving state funding.
Eleven agencies were involved in scrutinizing non-contracted services for potential problems. In the Health Department alone, 56 charities were flagged. Of those, 26 had their payments delayed until a formal contract could be drafted, state Secretary of Finance Ric Brown told lawmakers.[28]
State officials were to determine if funding for the three nonprofits — a hospice, a heritage trail and a historical preservation fund — was being lawfully given.
The state Department of Planning and Budget released a mid-review report of the 54 nonprofit organizations and programs slated to receive more than $23 million in 2011 and about $24 million in 2012. The report responds to Cuccinelli's opinion that charitable giving by the government is unconstitutional.
As of May 20, 2011, 11 charities complied with the Virginia Constitution, while 14 nonprofits were encouraged to draw up contracts with the state for the services provided, according to the report. No opinion was listed for 26 charities, because they did not seek one from the attorney general's office or did not provide that information to the state Department of Planning and Budget.[29]
Birther accusation
Though Cuccinelli didn't question Barack Obama's place of birth, he had to clarify a comment that critics contended was an endorsement of "birther" claims "that President Obama may not have been born in the United States." [30]
When questioned in an interview conducted by an online blogger about the Obama birth certificate controversy, Cuccinelli remarked that "it will get tested in my view when someone -- when he signs a law, and someone is convicted of violating it and one of their defenses will be it's not a law because someone qualified to be President didn't sign it." [31] [32]
On the exact same day these allegations were made, Cuccinelli released a statement insisting that he believed President Barack Obama was born in the United States. He remarked that in the interview he "was asked a hypothetical legal question, and I gave a hypothetical legal answer in response." [33]
Virginia State Senate (2002-2010)
Cuccinelli was first selected to represent the public in the State Senate when he won the August 2002 special election held to replace Warren Barry, who resigned in order to serve on the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. During his tenure, he operated within the Senate Courts of Justice, Transportation, Local Government, and the Rehabilitation and Social Services committees.
As a state senator, Cuccinelli sponsored a number of pro-life/anti-abortion legislative measures designed to discourage the medical practice, including a requiring doctors to anesthetize fetuses after the first trimester and requiring physicians who perform abortions on pregnant girls 15 years old or younger to preserve the fetal tissue for the purpose of determining whether the pregnancy is the result of criminal behavior. [34] [35]
Later, during the course of his 2009 campaign for Attorney General, he received the endorsement of the Republican National Coalition for Life.
Gun control
During his tenure as a member of the State Legislature, he sponsored several anti-gun control measures, including bills repealing the state prohibition on carrying a concealed handgun in a restaurant or club and recognizing concealed handgun permits or licenses issued by another state. [36] [37]
For these and other actions, Cuccinelli received the endorsement of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in his 2009 campaign for Attorney General.
In the Virginia General Assembly, Cuccinelli introduced a measure calling upon the United States Congress to call for a constitutional convention to amend the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution to revoke the citizenship rights for children of illegal aliens born on United States soil in addition to a bill making an employee's inability or refusal to speak English at the workplace, in violation of a known policy of the employer, to be constituted as misconduct and disqualify that individual from receiving unemployment compensation benefits from Virginia Employment Commission (VEC). [38] [39]
State song
On January 30, 2006, Cuccinelli filed an amendment to a bill to designate the official state song as "Taxman" by the Beatles. He said his constituents would feel a connection to the song as "they feel like all they ever get from Richmond is more taxes." The amendment was not taken up for consideration.[40]

Cuccinelli was the Republican nominee for Governor of Virginia in the 2013. He was the only gubernatorial candidate to file for the party's statewide primary convention by the January 14, 2013 deadline.[1][41] Leading up to the general election, polls had Terry McAuliffe taking the victory by a solid lead. In the end, the race was much closer than anticipated. After his early lead slipped away, Cuccinelli conceded at 11pm on election night. Cuccinelli said that the close race was a testament to Virginians' opposition to Obamacare, one of the main issues Cuccunelli ran on. "Despite being outspent by an unprecedented $15 million, this race came down to the wire because of Obamacare," Cuccinelli said.[42]

Race background
Former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell (R) was ineligible to run for re-election in 2013 because of term limits. The term limits Virginia imposes on its governors are more strict than any other state in the country. Under the commonwealth's constitution, no governor may serve back-to-back terms. This means that McDonnell, unlike other governors in their first term, was ineligible to run for re-election.
There are no such term limits on the attorney general, and many were surprised at fomer AG Ken Cuccinelli's (R) decision to run for governor, rather than seek another term. If not for Cuccinelli, outgoing Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling would have been the frontrunner for the Republican nomination to succeed McDonnell.[43] Due to the decision by the Republican Party of Virginia to change their candidate nomination method from open primary election to closed nominating convention starting in 2013, and "tea party darling" Cuccinelli's presence in the race, Bolling withdrew his bid for the GOP nod in November 2012.[44][45] About the alternative of seeking re-election to his current post, Bolling stated that "Under normal circumstances, I would be open to the possibility of running for another term as lieutenant governor, but I would not be interested in running on a statewide ticket with Mr. Cuccinelli."[46] He later said he regretted dropping out of the race as early as he did.[47]
McDonnell had previously pledged his support for Bolling's candidacy, in part because Bolling refrained from challenging McDonnell for governor in 2009. After Bolling bowed out, McDonnell chose to endorse fellow Republican Cuccinelli for his successor, despite Cuccinelli's outspoken opposition to McDonnell's Transportation Initiative, which was considered to be the centerpiece of his gubernatorial legacy. Ironically, Cuccinelli's future general election opponent, former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe, had been equally outspoken on the issue, but as an advocate and defender of the outgoing governor's approach to amending the state's transportation funding policy.[48][49][50]
In response to the major party picks, the Libertarian Party held a special convention and nominated Robert Sarvis as the party's official gubernatorial candidate.[51]
Like Cuccinelli and Sarvis, McAuliffe faced no primary opponent. Days from the election, McAuliffe held a comfortable polling and fundraising lead over Cuccinelli and Sarvis. Aggregated polling data had the Democratic nominee with an average edge of seven percentage points over Cuccinelli--an advantage that could have been attributed in large part to female voters' 58-34 preference of McAuliffe, since he and Cuccinelli were almost neck-and-neck among men.[52][53] During the last campaign finance reporting period, ending October 28, McAuliffe reported raising $8.1 million to Cuccinelli's $2.9 million, and holding $1.6 million in cash on hand, which was twice the size of Cuccinelli's warchest. Sarvis was trailing both with a reported $81,595 raised and $58,584 on hand.[54][55][56] Hillary Clinton's decision to come out in support of McAuliffe on October 19 - marking her first campaign event appearance since stepping down as U.S. Secretary of State - further enhanced the Democrat's frontrunner status.[57] Former President Bill Clinton threw in his support soon thereafter, followed by President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, who joined the McAuliffe campaign effort in the final week of the election season.[58]
The three contenders squared off in the general election on November 5, 2013, which McAuliffe won by a margin of 2.6% percentage points.[59]
Impact of US government shutdown on governor's race
The high profile federal government shutdown coincided with the home stretch of the expensive and high-profile 2013 Virginia governor race, which created a fresh backdrop for the battle between major party nominees Terry McAuliffe (D) and Ken Cuccinelli (R), and provided a brand new context in which to undermine each candidate's character and leadership potential.[60] Each campaign released an ad during the aftermath of the shutdown, which arrived on the heels of the candidates' second debate.[61]
With the nation paying close attention to its government in light of the perceived failure of Congress to work together in the best interests of their constituents, McAuliffe and Cuccinelli's ads each highlighted features of his opponent which most closely mirrored the type of stubbornness displayed by the House and Senate leading up to the shutdown, and to which the general public was, at that moment, so sensitively attuned. That moment, to be more specific, was one month before the general election. As the competition stood, McAuliffe had an overall average lead in the polls of 5.3 points over his Republican foe.[62]
Hoping to use the shutdown to further advance his edge by painting Cuccinelli in with the GOP ideologues in Congress, McAuliffe's ad emphasized Cuccinelli's strong ties to tea party leader U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), since Cruz was an outspoken supporter both of Cuccinelli and the far-right congressional insurgency which, in seeking to defund Obamacare, was regarded as causing the shutdown. The ad cited Cuccinelli's past effort to defund Planned Parenthood, apparently bringing the Virginia legislature "to a standstill," and also claimed Cuccinelli had been sufficiently opposed to Mark Warner's 2004 budget to call for a shutdown of the state government.[63]
Cuccinelli's ad aimed to discredit McAuliffe by referencing articles from The Washington Post and the Richmond-Times Dispatch criticizing McAuliffe's prospective budget plan, which he had allegedly threatened he would shut down the government over in order to get the plan passed. The radio spot also accused McAuliffe of being "against compromise, against working together to find solutions," and noted how the Democrat sided with his fellow party members in Congress who had vocally dismissed opportunities to collaborate with the Republicans to avert shutdown.[64][65]
A unique opportunity was identified for the solo third party candidate in the race, Libertarian Robert Sarvis, in the shutdown atmosphere, where disillusionment with the standard of government operation ran rampant. Had Sarvis not been barred from participating in the third debate with McAuliffe and Cuccinelli, it was thought that he could have used the reflected spotlight to lure substantial number of voters who, already frustrated by Congress' showcase of two-party gridlock, would be more sympathetic than usual to a non-major party nominee.
"People are looking for other options they don't like what they have to see from those two parties and we're trying to fill that void with principled advocacy for more freedom in our economic sphere and personal lives," stated Sarvis. His passive warning about "obvious dysfunction of our [federal] government" also existing on the state and local level could have had an especially profound impact on swing voters and the average 9% of voters who were still polling as undecided at the beginning of November.[66][67]

2013 Campaign controversies
"Anti-women agenda"
Cuccinelli's record on women's issues, including his sponsorship of several pro-life/anti-abortion legislative measures while serving in the state senate, was a primary target for attacks by Democrats and other supporters of his opponent, Terry McAuliffe, in the 2013 gubernatorial race. Throughout the election season, McAuliffe's campaign invoked Cuccinelli's past efforts on laws to restrict abortion and defund planned parenthood, as well as his association with the Republican National Coalition for Life, which endorsed his successful candidacy for attorney general in 2009, in order to alienate some female and liberal voters. Cuccinelli's campaign made earnest efforts to debunk accusations from opponents that, if elected, the Republican nominee would impose his "anti-women agenda" on the governorship. For example, they ran an ad spot on October 1 before the general election that featured Tichi Pickney Eppes, an African-American woman and Democratic school board member, expressing her support for Cuccinelli as the next governor and calling the opposition's claims that he possessed an anti-women agenda "ridiculous." [74] [75] Already trailing McAuliffe in polls and fundraising in the fall of 2013, a September 30 report from NBC news about Cuccinelli's anti-abortion stance accelerated his campaign's downward spiral. The report offered a blunt excerpt from Cuccinelli's 2012 Christian Life Summit speech, the entirety of which was published to YouTube. In the speech, Cuccinelli said, "Really, Given that God does judge nations, it's amazing that abortion has run as far and foully as it has, without what I would consider to be a greater imposition of judgment on this country...Who knows what the future holds?"[76]
Staying on as attorney general
It is the custom of Virginia attorneys general running for governor to resign in the final year of their terms. Without exception, the previous six consecutive elected attorneys general sought the governorship and stepped down early for campaign purposes. After Cuccinelli cemented his party's nomination for governor on January 13, 2013 (he was the only Republican to file the necessary paperwork by the convention's deadline), he stated publicly that he intended to serve the entirety of his current term as attorney general.[1] Cuccinelli's decision to break with tradition elicited criticism from Democrats and outgoing incumbent Bob McDonnell, who resigned the attorney general's post in February of 2009 before winning election as governor that November. Those criticizing Cuccinelli argue that absent this custom, the "full-time" demands of the attorney general's office cannot be met, and that taxpayers deserve more than a part-time leader.[77] Another reason attorneys general typically do not hold on to their jobs while seeking the top office is that there is a fundraising disadvantage associated with double duty. Virginia election law does not allow state officials running for state office to raise money for their campaigns during the General Assembly session, which began last week and will run 46 days.
Cuccinelli defended his decision, saying, "When I was running for attorney general, both I and my opponent promised to serve out all four years," and reassured constituents that he felt confident in his ability to balance the roles of attorney general and gubernatorial candidate, as many others he consulted, such as Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R), have managed to do without neglecting their responsibilities in the past.[77]
"Whether I stay or go, Democrats are going to criticize me," Mr. Cuccinelli said. "I'd rather they criticize me for keeping my word."[77]
Lieutenant governor Bill Bolling (R) had also been in the race, but he suspended his campaign on November 28, 2012, citing his slim chances beating Cuccinelli, the tea party favorite, for the party's nomination under the newly instated nominating convention setting.[78] Effective in 2013, the Republican party nominates its gubernatorial, lt. gubernatorial, and attorney general candidates via convention (that is, delegate vote) rather than statewide primary election. Although Bolling was explicit about ending his pursuit of a place on the Republican ticket last November, he waited until March 12, 2013 before completely ruling out the possibility of running as an Independent candidate instead.[45]
Following his initial withdrawal from the Republican gubernatorial race, Bolling commented about the alternative of seeking re-election to his current post as lt. governor, stating that, "Under normal circumstances, I would be open to the possibility of running for another term as lieutenant governor, but I would not be interested in running on a statewide ticket with Mr. Cuccinelli."[79] Bolling made a formal announcement on his decision to end his campaign altogether on his official campaign website on March 12, 2013.[80]
Incumbent Gov. McDonnell, term-limited from seeking re-election in 2013, had previously pledged his support for Bolling's candidacy- in part because Bolling refrained from challenging McDonnell for governor in 2009.[81]
Cuccinelli defeated Democrat Stephen C. Shannon for attorney general in the November 2009 general election, earning 57.51% of the total vote.[82]

Goals that motivate me more are things like...I want to do a pull-up, really, really badly, so in order to do that, I need more muscle and less weight. Those kinds of things keep me going.
But anyway, to the main point of your question, 1-2 lbs per week is a healthy weightloss goal for most folks. So if you want to lose 2 lbs a week, that's 8 lbs for the month, and that requires that you really stick to clean eating.

Comments about Double-Sided Shower Door Hooks:
These hooks do work well, as long as the connection between the 2 sides is clicked to it's tightest position. We have a rather thick shower enclosure, so for us, the last click is the only. That said, it works well, will hang a towel, as pictured. I just push on the top connection when I think of it...

The Marine Corps is transitioning to a new pistol marksmanship program.
"The combat pistol program is more focused on getting the pistol into action quickly and marksmanship of it," said Sgt. Joseph M. Syracuse, 25, a combat marksmanship trainer with weapons and field training battalion. "It's a healthy mix of both; whereas the old system focused more on marksmanship alone ... it puts more emphasis on speed."
The combat pistol program will replace the entry level pistol program, which has been used since the 1980s, no later than the fall of 2014. Those who participate in the training will still use the standard issue M9 service pistol. Marines of all ranks carry the service pistol in a variety of billets and will be required to qualify annually with the new program.
"It was basically designed and developed because with Marines going into combat zones we want to focus on the way we would employ (the pistol) if their primary weapon were to run out of ammo or jam," said Syracuse, of Cumberland Md. "This accomplishes that goal."
Part of that is done by giving Marines smaller windows of time to fire while forcing them to draw from a secured holster. Marines who are used to firing 15 rounds in 10 minutes from the 25-yard line will now be required to fire a total of 10 rounds with a time limit of seven seconds each, Syracuse said.
"Transitioning from the entry level pistol program to the combat pistol program will be challenging for some Marines because of the movements," Syracuse said. "You actually have to get into a proper stance. You want to have the right hand grip.
"It's all about doing everything correctly with speed. Getting the flow of it all down will be the hardest part for them to overcome."
Capt. Patrick Port, one of the Marines who shot the course of fire, proclaimed himself a true believer in the new program.
"It's definitely different, a little bit harder and much more realistic," he said.
As a prior gunnery sergeant, Port said he has always been reluctant to change and didn't know what to expect with the new program. Now, after shooting the course of fire, he recommends Marines take a hard look at the type of holster they have and where they place their pistol on their body and practice a quick draw.
"My experience prior to this was more regimented and more about taking your time, and I liked it," Port said. "This new program brings things to a whole new level in the Marine Corps."

Domestic Violence and Immigrant Women

Power and Control Wheel for Immigrant Women
- PDF File size: 168.74KB
Many immigrant women are afraid to leave a violent relationship until their immigration concerns are addressed. Undocumented immigrant women face threats of deportation by their abusers. Their abusers often threaten to withdraw support of their immigration petitions, and feed them misinformation about the laws in this country. In many cases, the abuser speaks better English than the woman and is able to talk his way out of being arrested when police come to the scene. For these and many other reasons, immigrant women may be reluctant to come forth and ask for assistance.
Immigrant women need to know that the Violence Against Women Act provides ways for them to get legal status in the U.S., if their husband is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident.
This page contains information , which immigrant survivors of domestic violence will find useful.
First, click here for information on how immigrant women are affected by domestic violence. It is provided by the Texas Council on Family Violence. Also, click the link above labeled "Power and Control Wheel for Immigrant Women" for the same information.
VAWA is the acronym for the Violence Against Women Act, which was passed by Congress in 1994. Among other things, VAWA created special provisions in United States immigration law to protect victims of abuse who are not citizens of the United States. In cases of domestic violence, US immigration law allows certain victims of abuse who are not citizens to obtain lawful status without having to rely on their abuser to petition.
Please click here for information on the Violence Against Women Act for more information on obtaining lawful immigration status WITHOUT relying on the abuser. The resource is put together by WomensLaw.org.
For help on this an immigrant survivor of domestic violence can contact the following organizations.
American Gateways at (512) 478-0546. Click here for their contact information. From their page: American Gateways' PRISA program assists immigrant survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and other crimes in applying for immigration benefits under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (VTVPA).
PRISA teaches survivors of abuse to advocate for themselves and assists with self-petitioning for legal permanent residency. Through VAWA this group of women are eligible for a U-Visa or a T-Visa under VTVPA. Obtaining immigration benefits through PRISA provides battered immigrants with the tools necessary to leave an abusive situation, recover from crisis, and become their own advocates. Click here for more information on this program.
The Texas Civil Rights Project : VAWA Immigrant Survivors of Domestic Violence Program: From their page: Who we serve: Our project focuses on immigrant survivors of domestic violence living in Texas' rural areas. If we accept your case, we will provide free services, submit proper forms to Immigration, apply for your work authorization document, and submit your legal permanent resident application. We can do the same for your undocumented children if they are unmarried and under 21. Click here for more information on this program.
Please see the section below for information on other organizations that may be able to help with these issues as well:

As they comb the site, they unearth two cellars and a collection of incredible artifacts that help set the record straight on his fabled youth.

While his mom, Cory Cooper, makes a phone call, Davy Cooper surveys the damage to their car he was driving. Davy, who was driving with his learner's permit to get the necessary hours for his license, drifted off the road while eastbound on Highway 160 near the fairgrounds and over-corrected, flipping the vehicle. No one was injured in the accident and both were wearing their seat belts.

Glacier Peak comeback falls short in loss to University
Grizzlies' season ends with 49-44 loss to University
The Grizzlies, who trailed University by 10 points with five minutes to go in the game, got within three in the final minute, but couldn't overtake the Titans, who defeated Glacier Peak 49-44 Friday in a loser-out game at the 3A state girls basketball tournament in the Tacoma Dome.
"They kind of jumped out in that fourth, they kind of pulled away," Glacier Peak head coach Brian Hill said. "They had a (big) lead on us and we're like, 'Oh, we need a couple big buckets.' We came down and hit two big threes and we were right back in it."
After an 8-0 University run to start the fourth quarter, Glacier Peak senior Allie Weathersby made a 3-pointer and Sarah Smith followed it with another — her fourth of the game — to help spark the Grizzlies' comeback and get Glacier Peak within three points, 47-44, with 49 seconds remaining.
But Glacier Peak struggled to get a shot off against the tough University defense and turned the ball over on a shot-clock violation. Two free throws by the Titans' Morgan Hawley with eight seconds left all but sealed the win for University.
"Their team stepped up," Hill said. "They were able get it done. They hit some big buckets."
Glacier Peak trailed the Titans 29-22 at halftime, but used a 7-0 run to start the third quarter to tie the score. University (15-10 overall) responded with a 6-0 run, thanks to four points from Kayleigh Valley (11 points), and then went scoreless for the final four minutes of the quarter, allowing the Grizzlies' to post an 11-6 advantage in the period.
Weathersby finished with 19 in her final high school game. Smith scored 12 points and Nicole Fausey added nine points and seven rebounds for the Grizzlies, who finished the season with an 18-8 record and Wesco 3A South title.
"I'm excited because we're going to get a lot of these kids back, but now they've been part of something, and we'll hopefully be able to keep passing this down from group to group," Hill said. "... We're excited. The four seniors are fantastic, and we've been kind of fortunate every time we graduate a few girls here and there, the ones right behind them are well-prepared and ready to go."

Comments about Park Tool TNS-4 Star Nut Setter:
This was my first time to cut, prepare, and install a new fork. I was worried about this part of the install, but this tool took all the guess work out of it. The star nut screws on to the bottom, whack the tool until the plunger can't go anymore...unscrew it, and you're done. I re-checked several times, and compared it to a lot of other forks, and every time I can tell that mine is perfectly set. Quality tool to take the guess work out of this hairy install.
Comments about Park Tool TNS-4 Star Nut Setter:
This is the only tool that works perfectly and is very easy to use. No guessing, no hurt fingers. It is not very expensive either
