Hate Bill Going Forward In Senate!
By Rev. Ted Pike
In a bold and dramatic gesture, Sen. Patrick Leahy took the floor of the Senate on Monday, July 13, to argue for passage of his hate crimes amendment to S. 1390, "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010."
No vote was taken today, but the office of Sen. Carl Levin, head of the Armed Services Committee, confirmed that the hate bill amendment will be formally proposed and possibly voted on Wednesday.
It's NOW OR NEVER to save free speech for ourselves and our children! We need to back down the Democrats now from even proposing the hate bill amendment on Wednesday. Call toll-free 1-877-851-6437 or toll 1-202-225-3121 (names available at Truthtellers.org on the Action Page).
Tell Senators: "Attorney General Holder says the federal hate bill, S. 909, will not protect members of America's military. Yet Democrats are attaching it as an amendment to the arms bill this Wednesday. This is dishonest. The hate bill has nothing to do with the military." You can add: "Have you watched the video at Truthtellers.org in which Holder says soldiers are not protected under the hate bill?"
