This legislation, if passed into law, will be used against Christians, Jews, Home Schoolers, Patriots -- us, folks.
Please call now and oppose S.909, Local Law Enforcement Crime Prevention Act. Senator Jim DeMint Washington, D.C. http://demint.senate.... http://demint.senate.... 340 Russell United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Phone: 202-224-6121 Fax: 202-228-5143 Senator Lindsey Graham Washington Office http://lgraham.senate... 290 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 (202) 224-5972 http://lgraham.senate... http://lgraham.senate... H.R. 1913, Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, passed the House and goes to the Senate as S.909. It would result in federal control over all law enforcement. It attempts to categorize crime according to the “motivations” of the perpetrator, a next-to-impossible task. While this bill states that “existing Federal law is inadequate to address [a crime of violence motivated by prejudice],” crimes that would most likely be committed out of hate, such as assault, battery, and murder, are already being prosecuted by state and local government. Federalizing such crimes (even by definition) creates a redundant layer of law enforcement that can only lead to the aforementioned federal control of all law enforcement. Attempting to ascertain an assailant’s motivations is a difficult assignment, and sure to create more problems than it solves. Our state and local authorities have protected their citizens against violent crime since our nation’s founding. All violent crime is hateful. Motivations are irrelevant. There is no need to complicate the prosecution of crime any further, or to invite federal agents to interfere in local matters. Please email Senator Jim DeMint in support of his stance against S909, The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act. http://wnd.com:80/ind... Also email Senator Graham urging him to oppose this bill. Sharon |
