This week, the Senate is considering S. 1390: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. There are some members who are attempting to amend this bill with H.R. 1913: Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 or S. 909: Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act .
Senate Contact Info

#1. It
is vital that you protest the hate bill NOW to
all 100 members of the Senate! Particularly
the Senate Democrats!

Email or call toll-free 1-877-851-6437 or toll 1-202-225-3121.

Tell Them: "Attorney General Holder says the federal hate bill, S. 909, will not protect members of America's military. Yet Democrats may attach a hate bill amendment to the arms bill this week. This is
dishonest. The hate bill has nothing to do with the military."

You can add: "Have you watched the video at www.truthtellers.org in which Holder says soldiers are not protected under the hate bill?" "

If you prefer, here is a form letter you may email, fax or mail to the members of Congress.

Dear Senator / Representative ________________:

Please do NOT vote for the federal hate crimes bill, S. 909. On Oct. 8, 2004, 11 Christians were arrested and jailed for 21 hours under Pennsylvania's anti-hate law. They had been peacefully preaching at a "Gay
Pride" parade.

While "Anti-Hate" legislation gives the impression of protecting the civil rights of minorities from bias-motivated violence or intimidation, it actually leads to loss of free speech.

Under Canada's anti-hate law, it is now illegal to criticize homosexual behavior over the airwaves, in print, or in public. The consequences: large fines and imprisonment.

The FBI's annual "Uniform Crime Report" consistently shows that so-called "hate crimes" constitute only about 1/15th of 1% of all crime in America. Of this 1/15th of 1%, most have not been adjudicated but are called "crime" because
of the conclusions of investigating police. Actually, most are "suspected
bias crimes incidents," not proven crimes.

Such infinitesimal numbers of proven hate crimes does not justify unprecedented, massive intrusion of the federal government into local law enforcement.

Respectfully-

Comment by Maas on July 15, 2009 at 12:54pm: A tip that I learned from an old mp3 podcast was that you can request to be transferred to other representatives. If people do this, it may give the impression that more people are against this.

Calling now.

Comment by mrgone on July 15, 2009 at 12:28pm: Right!

I just contacted them and my Senator switched me to a "full mail box" message answering system. Guess I need to keep calling. Hope that means the lines are flooded.
