Four months ago we joined forces with other domestic violence advocates to express our outrage regarding the publication and promotion of O.J. Simpson's book, "If I Did It."
The following statement by Sue Else, President, National Network to End Domestic Violence, has been received by GFWC and we ask that you join with your fellow club members around the world in expressing your total disgust with these proceedings.
Please communicate these proceedings to your fellow club members and ask that all join forces with other domestic violence advocates in calling, emailing and writing letters to the editors of your local newspapers and by contacting your legislatures.
As leaders in our communities, we must join together to do all we can to end this senseless abuse called "Domestic Violence."
Yours, in Federation Service,
Jackie

National Network to End Domestic Violence Opposes Auction of O.J. Simpson Book "If I Did It"
Washington, DC - Mar 15, 2007
Just four months ago, domestic violence advocates led successful efforts to cancel the publication and promotion of O.J. Simpson's book "If I Did It." Thousands of calls to the publisher and book sellers clearly demonstrated the public's concern over distributing a "how-to guide" to kill your wife.
Despite public outrage, by the end of this month the rights to "If I Did It" will be auctioned and the book most likely will go to print. The National Network to End Domestic Violence is extremely disappointed to find that "If I Did It" is one step closer to finding its way into bookstores and libraries in our communities.
On average, three women a day will be murdered by their intimate partners, and far too often, other loved ones also lose their lives. Studies show that domestic violence homicides of women have failed to decline in 30 years. The publication of "If I Did It" will do little to help end this horrific crime. Instead it will only create more pain and fear for victims of domestic violence.
The public spoke loud and clear in November -- this book has no place in our communities and only causes more grief for battered women and children across the country.
