Urgent! Oppose S.909

Urgent! Call US Senators Durbin & Burris to Oppose S.909 - Hate Crimes Bill

H.R. 1913 passed out of Congress on April 29th and will be heard in the U.S. Senate, now being called S.909. It will allow the federal government to prosecute 2 identical crimes differently if one fictim is a homosexual, cross-dresser or has a different gender confusion disorder.

It's Unconstitutional!  The 14th Admendment Guarantees "Equal Protection", NOT "Special Protection".

Christians and pastors in Sweden, England, Canada, and Philadelphia have already been prosecuted under the hate crime laws for expressing disapproval of homosexual behavior and even sharing the Gospel. In some jurisdictions "hate crimes" have been defined as hate speech, intimidations, and verbal assault. This shows contempt for the moral view of millions.

It Infringes on Freedom of Speech and Religion.

Mis California, Carrie Prejean, could have been charged with a "hate crime" for her views on same-sex marriage if S.909 was already law. What couild constitute a "hate crive" under this bill is a homosexual man or woman claiming they were discriminated against and hurt by what was said.

It Punishes Thoughts, NOT Actions.

Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), a judge, claims no matter what proponents of the bill are saying now, no one can predict how it will be interpreted by future courts.

All criminal actions must be vigorously prosecuted. All victims must be treated equally. The U.S. Senate must reject S.909.

Call Senator Durbin 202-224-2152 and Senator Burris 202-2224-2854.
