I feel for you buddy, with those two nothings in the Senate. However, the Senate has already passed the bill. We don't need those two FemiNazis right now. Although you ahould notify them that you are unhappy about Senate passge of this bill

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)

DeLay's office: 202-225-5241 (fax)

Delay's EMAIL form: http://www.majorityleader.gov/CONTACT.ASP?a=form

Here's the text of what I sent to my congressman, Jay Inslee: Dear sir,

Please vote no on HR 4200, the Hate crimes amendment.

Of course no one is in favor of hate crimes, but as written, this bill will make it a crime to read or believe portion of the Bible (regarding homosexuality). The Constitution clearly states:

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

To pass this bill, therefore, is a violation of the First Amendment and in violation of one's oath.

Furthermore, it is very deceitful to attempt to sneak through amendments of this sort on a defense appropriations bill. Just so you know, as a voter I do pay attention to such actions and take it into account when voting.

I hope and pray that you believe in the US Constitution.

Regards
