Nevertheless, it's good they know you are alert to what they are doing up there in your name. Now, forget about the Senate. They've already passed the bill. Here's what we need to do now.
To derail the bill, you need to contact the House of Representatives. You need to take two separate actions.
(1) Call your Congressman at 202-224-3121.
TELL YOUR CONGRESSMAN THAT YOU OPPOSE HR 4200, the Hate Crimes bill.
(2) Contact House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, urging him not to allow this legislation to come to a vote. The legislation cannot move out for a vote without his permission.
DeLay's office: 202-225-5951 (phone)

Just this week, the defense bill was amended to include the "hate Crimes" bill passed in the Senate on a vote of 97-0.
That means the next step for this legislation is the House, and it’s imperative that Christians contact their representatives urging them not to support such legislation.
The House defense authorization bill is H.R. 4200. Make sure your representative knows that you do not support hate crimes amendment to H.R. 4200.
TWO VITAL ACTIONS ARE NECESSARY:
(1) Contact your Representative at the Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121
(2) Contact House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, urging him not to allow this legislation to come to a vote. This legislation cannot move without his permission.
