Startling new developments have arisen regarding the hate (thought) crimes bill. Today Sen. Harry Reid offered hate crimes legislation as an amendment to the Defense Department reauthorization bill. Because of the method he used to offer this amendment, it could be voted on as early as Wednesday but certainly by Thursday.
Please make every effort to call both your senators today and urge them to vote "No" on Senate Amendment 3035 (i.e. "hate crimes amendment") to the Department of Defense reauthorization bill!
Hate crimes laws are unjust, constitutionally questionable, and a subtle, yet very real, threat to religious freedom. For more information on hate (thought) crimes legislation check the AdvanceUSA home page or the hate crimes category at AdvanceUSA Blog.
To protect equal justice under the law and religious freedom, please call your senators today!
