When is the last time you saw $10 Million dollars being spent on special programs in schools that taught school-age children about Judeo-Christian values and why they are important in our laws today? Better yet, funded by the Government? Well, I can answer that for you. Never!
But, the Government sure is interested in getting some bills passed that will do just that for certain select minority groups such as homosexuals while putting Christians in prison. $10 Million dollars in funding will be allocated annually for the administration of hate crime prevention including special programs about this in our schools. IF...the most recent David Ray Ritcheson Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 (H.R. 262) coupled with the David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 (H.R. 256) are passed!
So, besides the double-standard, why should you be fuming and taking action before you even finish reading this? Because these two bills that are going to be sent to President Barack Obama's desk will silence Christians from speaking against homosexuality or teaching our children that it is wrong. You would quite literally be committing a Federal crime and convicted. If these bills get passed, not only will Christians be silenced -- but, the government is scheduled to swoop in with $10 Million dollars to drive a stake right into the heart of Christians by making sure your children hear and are taught everything against Judeo-Christian beliefs.
The two bills that I am talking about are the David Ray Ritcheson Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 (H.R. 262) coupled with the David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 (H.R. 256). These two bills were just introduced by Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee and are expected to be signed by President Barack Obama who has supported this legislation at the state level in the past. These two bills CANNOT get to President Obama's desk! No way Christians! You must act now if you want to continue practicing your Christian faith and teaching it to your children. Sign the petition against Hate Crimes Legislation!
The Liberal Bailout
Right now, there are some states that have adopted Hate Crime Laws. And, in those states, many Christians have been convicted and imprisoned. To top it off, Hate Crime Prevention programs won't be run by the government. Instead, the government will be looking for a private non-profit organization with broad experience in Hate Crimes education, prevention, and statistics gathering to be the watchment of this bill.
It is quite possible that this "$10 Million dollar giveaway" will go to liberal, anti-Christian groups like the Jewish Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADL). The ADL describes itself as "the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice, and bigotry." But that's not all they do. The ADL is also one of the most anti-Christian proponents in the public square today. Allied with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which has done more harm to Christian liberties in America than any other group, I shutter to think what will happen to our children, our families, our churches, and our freedom of speech at the hands of these two groups and their well-funded regime.
On the state level, the ADL website brags that they have caused 45 states to enact different versions of this bill since 1990. Most recently, in 2008, Gov. Schwarzenegger of California, passed lesbian activist Sheila Kuhl's anti-Christian bill S.B.777. It makes it illegal to criticize homosexuality in California public schools.
Hate crime bills are in complete opposition to the U.S. Constitution. The 14th Amendment forbids special rights, privileges, or services to preferred groups, but S.B. 262 defies this by giving special Federal assistance to alleged victims of hate crimes.
Hate Crime Watch Update
The United Kingdom and Canada gives us plenty of evidence as to why Hate Crimes Law is a bad idea. The number of Christians imprisioned for their faith continues to grow as does the Hate Crime Case Law against Christians. Most recently in the United Kingdom, the Christian Institute issues a report on some of the hate crime cases that have developed there under similar legislation.
One of the most stunning examples of how Hate Crimes Law silences Christians is of Lynette Burrows. "Lynette Burrows, an author and family-vaues campaigner, took part in a radio talk show about civil partnerships for homosexuals. Mrs. Burrows said she did not believe that adoption by two gay men would be best for a child. Subsequently, a policewoman telephoned Mrs. Burrows to speak to her about her comments," the report said. "The police officer said a 'homophobic incident' had been reported against her and that record of it would be kept by police." Do you think Lynette Burrows will think twice about sharing her Christian beliefs as based from God's Holy Word now that she has a criminal profile card recorded with the police?
The UK law has a section recognizing that "the discussion or criticism of sexual conduct or practices or the urging of persons to refrain from or modify such conduct or practices shall not be taken in and of itself to be threatening or intended to stir up hatred." Yet, in this case, honest criticism based on a person's faith and upon the facts becomes a "homophobic incident." This has a very chilling effect on free speech. It proves what CADC has been alleging all along. Hate crimes are directed against Christians so that their values and views will not be tolerated.
TAKE ACTION
Help protect Christian liberty in the U.S. by signing our petition in opposition to hate crimes. We must stop it in Congress. If the bill is passed, President Obama will sign it into Federal law. This petition will be sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee on 1/31/09.
Click the little envelope icon at the top right of this article and you can automatically send this article to all of the friends and family that you wish. Just because you found this information, doesn't mean others have or will. We need to get this into the hands of as many people as possible! We must ban together to accomplish this task before it becomes too daunting to practice or speak about God's truths from the Bible in America. Don't let this opportunity to save our freedoms pass you by.
While you're here, please consider making a monthly donation to The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission. We absolutely could not fight for your Christian freedoms the way we do without your support. It will become harder and harder to fight against Christian defamation when the opposition is so well-funded by law.
Let's act now before it is too late!

ADL’s New Trojan
Horse Hate Bill
By Rev. Ted Pike
1-15-9
The Anti-Defamation League, architect of hate laws worldwide, has served up two hate bills to Congress this term. These include a condensed version of the same one that failed to pass over the past ten years, “The David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act.” Reintroduction of the familiar bill was no surprise, as it had been rejected five times.
The big news is emergence of a different sounding hate bill, a seemingly harmless version with ostensibly humanitarian, not punitive, ambitions. This is the David Ray Ritcheson Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, H.R. 262. It is classic “Trojan horse” legislation, attempting to charm wary legislators into making America a hate crimes bureaucracy.
H.R. 262 wants to establish a federal hate crime “clearinghouse” or “resource” center and database. Through a website and 24-hour hotline, it will receive hate crime complaints nationwide. “Anti-bias” pro-homosexual education will pervade every level of American schooling from kindergarten to graduate school. It will “prevent” hate crime through an extensive curricula dedicated to eliminating those “seed ideas” which cause hate crimes, i.e., Christian disapproval of homosexuality. Such reeducation will be enforced upon students, teachers, professors, and administrators everywhere. Price tag: $10,000,000 annually.
ADL at the Top
Who will administer this new hate crime bureaucracy? H.R. 262 says that, although Congress will make it law, it won’t be run by the government. Instead, the bill says the government will be looking for a private non-profit organization with broad experience in hate crimes education, prevention, and statistics gathering.
Where might such a high-minded, illustrious, and experienced organization be found? You guessed it. There’s only one “civil liberties” group remotely equal to that task, one which describes itself as “the world’s leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice, and bigotry,” the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith.
H.R. 262 is ADL’s attempt to insert itself into the U.S. government as the nation’s hate law teacher. It already fulfills that role in law enforcement. Since passage of ADL’s Hate Crimes Statistics Act in 1980, it received federal authority to teach hate crimes theory, enforcement, and statistics gathering to the U.S. Justice Department, FBI, and police clear down to the local precinct. ADL is not only PR representative for Israel but is the adjunct of a Jewish religious organization, B’nai B’rith International. ADL loudly protests Christian mixing of religion with politics, but no one compares to ADL’s mixing of synagogue with state!
If ADL can’t pass the familiar hate bill, establishing power of the federal government to punish hate crimes in the states, it hopes to pass its second bill, endowing itself with unlimited powers to educate us and our children out of the “mental illness” of “homophobia.” Through the decades, ADL made it abundantly clear that it considers bias against homosexuality rooted in biblical “hate speech” as the underlying cause of hate crimes against homosexuals.
Christian-Persecuting State Hate Laws
“But,” you may ask, “What good is education against hate crimes unless there is government power to enforce it?”
Actually, ADL already has persuaded 45 U.S. states to pass versions of its model anti-hate law. These potentially Christian-persecuting hate laws were set up since 1990 to make sure that even if it fails to pass a federal hate bill ADL will still have local empowerment to persecute Christians. Such diversified enforcement is far inferior to massive federal enforcement, yet, clearly, ADL, after ten years of failing to obtain a federal law, may be ready to settle for second best. Control of federal hate crime education nationwide with at least 45 states locked into laws inclined to criminalize Christian “haters” means tremendous advancement of ADL’s goal to end freedom - just as ADL ended freedom in Canada under its similar hate law in 1971.
For the past 30 years, ADL has had to ask state governments, school districts, city councils, civic organizations, etc., for permission to educate their members. ADL initiatives have included its “No Place for Hate,” “World of Difference,” and now cyber-bullying, anti-homophobia programs. If H.R. 262 is passed, ADL will enjoy federal authority to teach anti-Christian values on all levels of U.S. education. Educators, parents, or students will have to take it or become federal criminals! In 2008, Gov. Schwarzenegger passed liberal Jewish activist Sheila Kuhl’s anti-Christian bill S.B.777, making it illegal to criticize homosexuality in California public schools. If H.R. 262 is passed, a tidal wave of federal suppression of Christian values will flood every classroom in America.
Homosexuals: New Welfare Class
S.B. 262 contains other unprecedented pro-homosexual initiatives.
Although the 14th Amendment to the Constitution forbids special rights, privileges, or services to preferred groups, S.B. 262 defies this giving special federal assistance to alleged victims of hate crimes. These include unemployment compensation, leave from work, temporary housing, free legal help and advocacy as well as psychological counseling. It will also forbid life and health insurance companies from “discriminating” against alleged hate crimes victims once they learn such persons are homosexuals. Obviously, if a life insurance company knows that an applicant is a homosexual, part of a class with a much lower average life expectancy due to AIDS, it might be reluctant to insure. This legislation forbids such insurers or health insurance companies from treating them differently than the rest of the population.
Who proves that an alleged hate victim is really a victim and not just scamming the government? Will a court verdict, following trial by a judge and/or jury, be required? Absolutely not. If that were the criterion, then only the tiniest number of hate crimes victims could file for compensation. Only a small percentage of the alleged 7,500 alleged hate crimes in America are proven as fact in court of law. The rest are “hate crimes incidents” taunts, fisticuffs, verbal “intimidation,” etc. which are judged by the local police as “hate crimes” but have never seen a courtroom. Instead, S.B. 262 says the opinion of the prosecuting attorney is sufficient to establish the plaintiff as a bona fide hate crime victim. Such a declaration may be given by the DA just as soon as he decides to prosecute the “hate criminal.” If the alleged victim claims he has been unable to work because of “emotional stress,” he is then eligible for immediate federal benefits and unemployment compensation even though his case may be never go through the court. The government will also provide benefits to his civil union “spouse,” sons, daughters, or parents! This means that all a homosexual has to do is scream, “Hate crime!” convincingly enough, persuading the local DA to prosecute his adversary. He may then start receiving many forms of federal assistance. Victims of the same crimes, not motivated by bias, can only look on with envy.
It takes little imagination to envision a new welfare class of predominantly homosexual hate crimes “victims,” created by S.B. 262.
Will Congress buy it? Rep. Jackson-Lee’s legislative expert told me the creators of S.B. 262 are optimistic that its soft-sell, compassionate approach will persuade Congress to pass it. He’s probably right, especially if Christian/conservative watchdog groups are not courageous or innovative enough to fight it.
Of one thing we may be sure: No Christian/conservative leader will breathe a word of how ADL has created or will benefit from this frightening legislation. Since ADL is Jewish, they will continue to lie to their constituencies, spreading the fantasy that hate laws are the brainchild of the “homosexual lobby.”
That leaves it to you and me to expose and battle down S.B. 262. The best way to accomplish that is to do what has worked so well before: repeatedly bombard Congress with communications. Call toll-free 1-877-851-6437 or toll 1-202-225-3121. Here’s our own new double-barreled message: “Please vote against both hate crimes bills, H.R. 256 and H.R. 262. Hate laws have taken away free speech in Canada and many European countries.”
Oh this will never happen! /sarc

When we have public schools, we lose control of the education of our children.
Since when did signing any petition in this country stop the leftward march of the demonrats?
Take your children OUT of the PUBLIC schools. Collapse the system.
Then you will be free.
When California ALLOWS for minors to be taken to get ABORTIONS and people don’t wake up, what do you really expect? Change? HA, the change will be ON us because as a people we have refused to USE what freedoms we DO have.
I can’t imagine why anybody would send their kids to a public school to be brain washed.
Rub our faces in it.
Come on, hit us again. Harder!
This is what we need to finally wake up and take back our country.
Every single foreign enemy we ever faced first thought we would be a push over. That our courage and strength was gone for good. But they were wrong. For every Pearl Harbor we gave them back a Hiroshima.
And now we have domestic enemies who think the same thing. Too bad for them. They will over play their hand. They will go too far. And then the Day of Reckoning will be upon them.
And many of us will give them no mercy.
I would “almost” be in favor of “hate crimes” bills — if — they would enforce them with equal fervor for Muslims, and crack down hard on them.
See FITNA to see what I’m talking about. Now, what is *shown* in FITNA lets you really know what “hate crimes” are all about. The Muslims have “cornered the market” on it...

Here’s an idea——why not start a new branch of Christianity that is totally devoted to the homosexual experience? Then co-opt the homo agenda at schools by claiming first interest rights. The school system will have to turn you down due to the religious aspect, at which time you can claim hate crimes being perpetrated against you and your organizition due to sexual orientation. That would throw a wrench in their works!
I got an idea. Take the kids out of the schools and homeschool them or work with your local church to start a private school. Or, everyone could ignore the problem.
Why in the world would Christians send their children to schools where evil is taught? God will require an accounting for such a sin.
Ummm.....so where is this proposed bill now?

But still funding leftist indoctrination with your taxes.
I just vote down every tax levy.
anti-’hate crimes’ ping
Protestant Christians in the 19th century were deceived into accepting and promoting government schools. Protestant Christians were fearful of and vehemently opposed to Catholicism. These anti-Papists believed that they could impose their brand of Christianity on other people's children through the indoctrination process of government schooling. These early government schools were, at the time, essentially Protestant Christian government schools.
So....The 19th Century Protestant Christians failed to understand the following:
Any government powerful enough to impose your religious worldview on other people's children is powerful enough to force homosexuality global warming earth worship, and atheistic secular humanism on you and your children!
Solution: Work to abolish government schooling.
Conservatives ( Christian and non-Christian) must **immediately** work to set up **free** conservative alternatives for their own children and for non-conservative children who wish to attend.
Then conservatives must join together to elect representatives with the guts to pull the plug on the filthy swamp that are our government schools.
Truth Conquers is correct. We must collapse the government school system. Do this and we will not be funding leftist indoctrination in K-12 schools because government schools will cease to exist.
Conservatives must remove their own children, work to set up free conservative schools, and strive together to shut all K-12 government schooling down! In other words: Collapse the system!
