ALERT: Thanks to the outcry from patriotic conservatives across America like YOU, we have
been able to STOP the so-called "Hate Crimes" bill from going forward as standalone legislation in the U.S. Senate!
But does that mean we've won?
NO -- not when Senate Democrats are desperate to see their "Pedophile Protection
Act" rammed down the throats of American citizens!
TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT
THIS "THOUGHT CRIME" BILL:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!
We warned you recently that if a bill that the
U.S. House had passed wasn't STOPPED in the Senate, here's what can happen, according to Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX):
If a mother hears that their child has been raped and she slaps the assailant with her purse,
she is now gone after as a hate criminal because this is a protected class. There are other protected classes in here. I mean simple exhibitionism. I
have female friends who have told me over the years that some guy flashed them, and their immediate reaction was to hit them with their purse. Well
now, he's committed a misdemeanor, [and] she has committed a federal hate crime because the exhibitionism is protected under sexual orientation... You
see someone spying on you changing clothes and you hit them -- they've committed a misdemeanor; you've committed a federal felony under this bill. It
is so wrong.
Rep. Gohmert is correct: IT IS SO WRONG!
But now,
Senate Democratic leaders are going to push the federal "hate crimes" bill to the floor of the Senate as an amendment to a
"must-pass" bill... and send it to Barack Obama to sign into law! They have said that they won't even be allowing ANY hearings or
amendments to this outrageous legislation
Why would they do things this way? Why would they prevent any discussion of this bill in a committee
hearing? Why would they not simply bring up their "hate crimes" bill as a standalone bill?
Because of YOU, and thousands more like you across the country! Thanks to all of our efforts,
Senate Democrats are scared to death to allow the hate bill to be opened to public scrutiny and Republican attack as the "Pedophile
Protection Act."
The radical liberal "leaders" in the U.S. Senate are ready to propose their "hate
crimes" bill as an amendment QUICKLY, as soon as they decide what "must-pass" legislation they want to attach it to. That could
happen ANY TIME now, with passage of this new bill within a week -- which means we have to FIGHT HARD NOW TO STOP
IT!
TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT
THIS "THOUGHT CRIME" BILL:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!
Whatever happened to "equal justice for
all"? As Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) stated, "Under this bill, justice will no longer be equal. Justice will now depend on the race, gender,
sexual orientation, disability or other protected status of the victim. It will allow different penalties to be imposed for the same crime. This is
the real injustice."
Look, we all know that every year, many violent crimes are committed out of hate. But just as many
violent crimes, if not more, are motivated by something other than hate - whether it's greed, jealously, desperation, or revenge, to
name a few. A person's motivation for committing a violent crime is usually complex, and often we can only guess as to why he or she did
it.
Every violent crime is deplorable -- regardless of its motivation. Every violent crime can be devastating
not only to the victim and their family, but also to the larger community whose sense of safety has been violated. That's why ALL violent crimes must
be vigorously prosecuted.
But this bill goes MUCH, MUCH FARTHER that simply prosecuting violent crime -- it creates a new
"protected class" of people that would now be protected under "hate crimes" definitions. That means that this bill will
protect all 547 forms of sexual deviancy or "Paraphilias" listed by the American Psychiatric Association! This would provide a HUGE
MASS of "sacred cows" in our society, which includes pedophiles who would be given elevated protection -- giving "the
offender" an additional decade behind bars.
And that "offender" could be YOU! If a pedophile tries to molest your daughter, or
your nephew, or your granddaughter, or some little boy in the street -- if you step in and beat the pedophile to get him away, YOU could spend ten
years in prison for your "offense"!
I am NOT exaggerating this. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), who supports this
horrendous bill, admitted that the bill would protect all 547 forms of sexual deviancy listed by the APA. Here's what Hastings said on
the floor of the U.S. House itself:
This bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice and to
guarantee that all Americans regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability or all
of these "Philias" and fetishes and "isms" that were put forward need not live in fear because of who they are. I urge my
colleagues to vote in favor of this rule.
Apparently, supporters of this bill have no problem with sexual deviants, including pedophiles,
getting a higher level of protection against you and me!
Don't think that some people in the House didn't try to stand up against the Thought Police crowd. The
House version of the so-called "hate crimes" bill was adopted on a 249-175 vote, but not before several amendments were proposed by
Republicans trying to mitigate the impact of the draconian law.
For example, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) offered an amendment that was very simple: "The term sexual
orientation as used in this act or any amendments to this act does not include pedophilia."
The majority Democrats refused to accept that amendment -- or any OTHER amendment along the same
lines!
Far-leftist Senators Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced their version of bill into
the Senate... and since they know it can't pass as a "stand-alone" bill, they're going to try to get a vote on it as an amendment to
another bill without even going through a committee hearing!
And that means WE have to take action NOW!
TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT
THIS "THOUGHT CRIME" BILL:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!
In George Orwell's classic book, "1984," the State was constantly cracking down on
what they called "thought crimes" -- that is, you didn't face prosecution just because of what you DID -- but also because of what you
THOUGHT.
That is EXACTLY what this "hate crime" bill will do -- it blurs the lines between violent
belief, which is constitutionally protected, and violent action, which is not. If we go down this road, where does it end? With
speech monitors and thought police?
As Janet Porter of Faith2Action noted, "Pushing away an unwelcome advance of a homosexual,
transgendered, cross-dresser or exhibitionist could make you a felon under this law. Speaking out against the homosexual agenda could also make you a
felon if you are said to influence someone who pushes away that unwelcome advance. And pedophiles and other sexual deviants would enjoy an elevated
level of protection while children, seniors, veterans, and churches would not."
Rep. Gohmert warned that this law would be used against pastors -- or anyone else -- who speaks against
homosexuality or other alternative sexual lifestyle choices, saying that it provides that anyone who through speech "induces" commission of
a violent hate crime "will be tried as a principal" alongside the active offender.
Critics say that would allow for prosecutions against pastors who preach a biblical ban on
homosexuality if someone who hears such a message later is accused of any crime. A pastor's sermon could be considered "hate speech" under
this legislation if it's heard by someone who then commits an act of violence against someone based on "sexual orientation." The
pastor could be prosecuted for "conspiracy to commit a hate crime." Don't think it could happen?
It already is.
Similar state laws have resulted in persecution for Christians. In Philadelphia several years ago, a
73-year-old grandmother was jailed for trying to share Christian tracts with people at a homosexual festival. In Canada, which already has severely
restrictive "hate crime" laws, government "Human Rights Commissions" review any "suspect" speech or actions that might
be perceived as being against any of their "protected classes."
So today, Canada has a major national magazine, a federal political party leader and a registered
political party, a major Catholic newspaper (Catholic Insight) and an internationally renowned journalist (Mark Steyn) -- all of whom are being
investigated by appointed "hate speech therapists" from the commissions. Even Focus on the Family, one of the largest Christian publishing
and broadcasting organizations in the nation, has admitted that it has been reviewing, and if necessary editing, its broadcasts to avoid complications
with Canadian "hate crimes" laws.
THIS IS WHAT WE FACE IN OUR FUTURE -- unless we take action NOW to stop this bill
in the Senate!
So, we've set up our website to enable you to send "Blast Faxes" to every single U.S. Senator
AT ONCE, demanding that they REJECT this pro-pedophile "thought crimes" bill!
For about what it would cost you in time and telephone charges, you can send Blast Faxes to
Democrats, Republicans, Independents -- EVERYONE in the U.S. Senate, DEMANDING that they say NO to so-called "hate crimes"
legislation!
TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT
THIS "THOUGHT CRIME" BILL:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!
This bill is very dangerous legislation. Congress poorly understands it, and it MUST be
discussed in the open public forum of Senate hearings! Please, take action right away to STOP this bill dead in its tracks!
P.S. FBI statistics show that the incidence of so-called hate crimes has actually
declined over the last ten years. In 2007, of the approximately 17,000 homicides that occurred in the U.S., only NINE were
determined to be motivated by bias. This is a so-called "solution" to a problem that doesn't even exist!!!
And what does President Barack Obama say? "I urge members on both sides of the aisle to act on
this important civil rights issue by passing this legislation to protect all of our citizens from violent acts of intolerance."
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS -- and it MUST be stopped! Send your faxes right away to make sure these
Senators get a STRONG message, to STOP this so-called "hate crimes" legislation NOW -- Thank you!
