Don't know if this will help.

There was one thing that was a little bit funny. I was calling the State Department the other day (Diana had said to me, "say hi to Condoleeza Rice") and just after I placed my call the movie "The Hunt for Red October" started on TV! So Soviet military music was playing in the background while I was on hold with the State Department...

Wasn't the whole purpose of this act to regulate those who used an International Marriage Broker? And so that women who went through an international agency wouldn't be "placed" with men who were violent or abusive? If I remember correctly, this whole clusterf#@k was snuck in as part of the DOJ bill for the protection of women's rights.

Two quick questions, and maybe you guys can add them to your senator send-offs;

1. Who among us that's getting screwed over by IMBRA actually used an IMB?

2. Where are these women that are being "protected?" Because the women on here seem more than willing to forego their "protection" under IMBRA to be with their men in a timely fashion.

I was lucky enough to not get screwed-over by IMBRA, but I can't help feeling, like everything else the government does for our "protection," that it's going to end up screwing me even harder down the line.

Slim,

Good idea! Maybe someone will start a thread in the "General Polls" forum to find out how many people actually used an international marriage agency. I would be interested to know the answer. If I were to guess, I would say that there are not many.

I'll go start one now!

And who's protecting all the American women from marrying American men?!?!?!?!? So... The U. S. of A. is more worried about foreign nationals than it's own citizens!?!?!?!?!?

And what about all the illegal aliens they want to give amnesty to? What about all of us doing everything correctly, legally, and by the book?!!?!?!?

ARGH!!!!!!!

Oh I think they are trying to discourage a few from marrying us to protect them so they can stay there where they probably have 10 times the chances of marrying someone who will beat the sh*t out of them or kill them.

Funny, but true. Yet another reason why the rest of the world loves us. We're doing something about a problem but aren't doing squat to address the underlying issues. (Like the reason why these girls want to leave Russia/CIS in the first place. Reasons like they get the sh*t beat out of them already.)

A few days ago Diana and I were talking about our pal, Michael Chertoff.

She said that it sounds like a Russian name and that Chert- means "devil."

That could explain a lot....
