The "hate crimes" plan pending in the Senate that has been dubbed the "Pedophile Protection Act" would "break" the U.S. Constitution if adopted and enforced, according to an Arizona congressman. And citizens are expressing their concern by dispatching hundreds of thousands of letters to senators.
U.S. Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., was interviewed today on WND columnist Janet Porter's radio program for the Faith2Action Christian ministry.
"They have to necessarily break the Constitution for this bill to have any effect," Franks said.
WND has reported multiple times on the developing legislation – a plan that failed under President George W. Bush when he determined it was unnecessary and most likely unconstitutional.
An analysis by Shawn D. Akers, policy analyst with Liberty Counsel, said the proposal, formally known as H.R. 1913, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act bill in the House and S. 909 in the Senate, would create new federal penalties against those whose "victims" were chosen based on an "actual or perceived… sexual orientation, gender identity."

There seems to be no end to the lunacy.
Woo-hoo for Trent Franks!! That’s my Congressman, and I’m calling his office right now to let them know he’ll get my financial support for 2010.
The only answer to this will be defiance and revolution.
Pedophile Protection Act”
You’ve got Barney Frank’s attention.
Do you know if there’s a way to put this on my Facebook page?
What is?
It's not explained what "it" is in your post. Can you tell us what the bill actually says?
How could the most liberal of liberals NOT want to punish pedophiles to the max?
How could anyone with kids NOT want pedophiles punished to the max?
Well, I could see it if they were pedophiles themselves.
During Congressional hearings, the DemRats were asked if they would be willing to prohibit pedophiles and other perverted ‘orientations’ from the Bill and they refused. Listen to the Janet Porter show and her guest explains (he was there!). If the bill passes, child molesters will literally have more protections than military combat veterans, pregnant mothers, or nuns. The MSM won’t discuss it, so we need to get the word out about the real DemRat agenda like this sickening bill. Thanks for the phone numbers above. I’ve already called all my Congressional Reps and am writing snailmail letters now too (more effective than emails).
Follow the links. There’s more info there.

Here is another great article about this travesty:
(excerpt) “As the bill stands, if it passes for law, if you catch an adult in the act of raping a child, and use force to remove that person from the child, the pedophile can turn around and accuse you of assault, and claim it was a hate crime.”
