I grew up in a violent home. Over 20 years later, children are suffering the same I did due to little protection from Iowa law. It’s time for change.
Morgan supported: Help me update Iowa’s 1979 definition of domestic abuse.
Iowa’s domestic abuse law hasn’t been updated since 1979—and that’s a serious problem. Abuse isn’t just physical. I am a DV survivor of emotional and psychological abuse, and I live with PTSD because of it. The law must recognize all forms of harm, not just the ones you can see. Survivors like me deserve to be protected, heard and believed. It’s time for Iowa to update its definition and stand with all victims.

I feel this deeply and I'll always support those who have displayed resilience and positive behavior. I understand that mistakes hurt and make people angry. However, I've been there and I know exactly what it takes to overcome the negative and begin making positive decisions.. The past is daunting for many of us but it is not the end. People change and I'm living proof that we may need more than a few chances to get it together but it is very possible. Prison is not a safe way to punish many crimes. Most men simply need a strong support system and a few classes to be able to look into themselves. That's when the tears and change begin. - Good Luck and God Bless-
Lucius supported: Support Rehabilitation and Leniency for Troy Garcia
