Hate Crimes Legislation Vote this week

H.R. 1913, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, has been reintroduced in Congress, and is due for a vote in the House of Representatives this week. This would give the government the power to extend extra legal protection to homosexuals, lesbians and cross-dressers.

According to Peter LaBarbera, President and founder of Americans for Truth, such legislation merely sets up an environment for the banning of speech, since homosexuals, lesbians and cross-dressers could claim that they are in danger of bodily harm just for hearing certain words that they deem as "hate speech".

Contact your representative in Congress to express your opinions about the "Hate Crimes" legislation, H.R. 1913, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, being voted on this week.
