Presidential Debate In Oxford, Ms.

Can't wait for to see the presidential debate from Oxford, Mississippi!

With much of the talk about "lipstick" and slim pickings on hardcore details on substantial issues, I can see William Faulkner spinning and kicking whiskey bottles in his grave.

But I did find something recently that is a huge resource for those of use who love
presidential debates. Click here to get a transcript of every presidential and vice-presidential debate. And I mean all of them. From Lincoln to "W" all of them are here.!

Real Numbers On Domestic Abuse

The Centers for Disease Control says 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men in United States are victims of domestic violence at some point in their lives.

Approximately 33 million or 15% of all U.S. adults, admit that they were a victim of domestic violence. Six in ten adults claim that they know someone personally who has experienced domestic violence.

3 out of 4 people know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence.
The CDS says 23.6% of women and 11.5% of men aged 18 years or more have a lifetime history of intimate partner violence victimization.

If you know someone that needs help, someone that may be the victim of abuse, give them 256-716-1000. That is the emergency number for Crisis Services of North Alabama.

If you know someone that needs help walking out the front door and into the light and safety, help point them in the right direction.

Some people get out alive. Some don't. Help them make a decision that can save a life.
