Federal 'Hate Law' Could Be Introduced This Week

Monday, January 1, 2007

With Congress back in session on January 3, the federal "hate crimes" bill could be reintroduced any time. The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith introduced the same legislation last January 6, three days after Congress convened.

This is the most dangerous legislation ever to come before Congress. It leads directly to an end of free speech. Once free speech is gone, there is little to prevent the loss of all our other freedoms. The new Democrat-controlled Congress has all the votes it needs to quickly run this Orwellian bill through committee in the House and Senate and pass it. Unless they lose their nerve, thrown back by massive protest from the American people.

Extraordinary action must be taken NOW to back down ADL and intimidate them from even introducing the hate bill in this session.

Your Voice Will Make the Difference

Protest from the American people has defeated the hate bill three times in the last two years. Here's how, with God's help, we can do it again:

1) Powerfully impact members of Congress from your district:

At http://www.truthtellers.org are listed the names of the top legislative aides for every member of Congress (except the newly elected members). These legal experts and researchers exert tremendous influence on how busy senators and representatives think and vote. Now you can just as powerfully influence them!

At http://www.truthtellers.org your two Senators and their aides are listed alphabetically according to state. House members and their aides are separately listed the same way.
On the list, locate the House member for your district. (If you don't know your district, call the capitol hotline tollfree at 1-877-851-6437 or toll at 1-202-225-3121. This information is also available by calling your local library or at http://www.house.gov/writerep.)
Print out both sides of - http://www.truthtellers.org/hatelawsflyermailer.pdf - NPN's brochure "Hate Laws Will Make You a Criminal," available on the home page at http://www.truthtellers.org.
Make about 30 copies, enough to send to each member of the Senate and House from your district plus their aides. Fold into thirds.
Address each name and tape (do not staple) the flyer closed, add postage and mail.

Because you are a constituent of these members of Congress and their aides, you have considerable influence. You have power to vote them out next term and power to end the aides' employment. When they see your zip code, they will read the flyer. It will deeply impact them because all they have heard so far is ADL propaganda. These brochures will burrow deep into every legislative office, raising questions, doubts, fears and curiosity about ADL's hate crimes agenda.

Don't hesitate to send this brochure to liberal members of Congress or their aides. Hate laws can turn on them also. Already in many western nations liberals who publicly criticize Islam can be indicted as hate criminals. If enough of these brochures penetrate Congress, the effect will be to prejudice even liberal members of Congress and their staffs against the ADL hate crimes agenda. (Note: Do not send this brochure to members of Congress or their aides outside your district. Nonconstituent mail is discarded.)

2) Influence all members of Congress:

Begin toll-free phone calls to Congress on January 3. Visit http://www.truthtellers.org for the complete list of members of the new Congress. Set aside 15 minutes a day (before work or during lunch) to call toll-free 1-877-851-6437 or 1-866-340-9281 (toll is 1-202-225-3121).
Leave this message: "Please don?t vote for 'anti-hate' legislation. Hate laws have taken away free speech in Canada and most European countries." Ask to be transferred to the next member of Congress on the list or use the redial feature on your phone. In only 15 minutes a day for 7 weeks, you can voice a powerful protest to every member of Congress against establishment of a "big brother" federal hate crimes bureaucracy like Canada's.

TALK SHOW HOSTS:

Before Christmas, 23 national talk show hosts responded to my initial warning that Democrat control of Congress meant certain passage of the hate bill. Their interviews with me alerted hundreds of thousands of patriots to this unprecedented threat to freedom.

It is vital that all of these hosts re-book me. Many others should join them. In upcoming broadcasts I will emphasize NPN's new program to saturate congressional offices with flyers telling the whole truth about hate laws. Over the holidays, many listeners may have become distracted from the urgent hate bill threat. Talk hosts should call me now at 503-631-3808 to help generate a new tidal wave of truth into Congress -- washing away ADL's lies and backroom deals. With your help, this effort could make the deciding difference in securing freedom for talk radio and the internet for years to come!

Yes, our free speech is being taken away from us. I also believe congress starts on the 4th of January, not the 3rd.

I hate how our freedoms are being taken away from us. What will they think of next?

Almost three years later the bill is signed and legislation is passed - and they sneak in more for the offense budget as well.

Quote:Obama signs historic hate crimes bill, massive defense budget
By Gavin Dahl
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 -- 6:17 pm

President Barack Obama signed into law a historic and contentious defense spending bill Wednesday that includes a broad expansion of hate-crimes legislation to include crimes committed against people because of their sexual orientation.

After passing out of the Senate 68-29 last week, the defense appropriations bill included hate-crimes language deemed too important for Obama to follow up on his threatened veto over concerns about military spending.

“I promised Judy Shepard when she saw me in the Oval Office that this day would come," Obama told the crowd at the signing of the 2010 National Defense Authorization Act. Shepard's son, Matthew was tortured and murdered in Laramie, Wyoming in 1998, because he was gay. According to the FBI, more than 77,000 hate-crime incidents were reported between 1998 and 2007.

Many conservatives worry the law will be used to criminalize speech. During recent floor debate, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) asked, "Can priests, pastors and rabbis be sure their preaching will not be prosecuted if it says certain things are right and wrong?"

Firebrand libertarian broadcaster Alex Jones urged opponents of the president to write letters this week promising to vote out Democrats if he signs "the freedom-destroying hate crimes bill."

However, Attorney General Eric Holder has said the law will only be used to prosecute acts of violence. The new 'hate crimes bill' expands the 1969 United States federal hate-crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim's actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. It is the first law in the history of the federal government to extend legal protections to transgender persons, requiring the FBI to track statistics on hate crimes against them for the first time.

The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act also removes the current prerequisite that a victim be engaged in voting, going to school or other federally-protected activity. Federal authorities will be able to engage in hate crimes investigations that local authorities choose not to pursue, with extra funding for prosecution available to all.

At the signing, Obama also touched on the problem of billions of dollars in cost overruns for military projects, pointing out that funding for F-22 fighters was removed from 2010 defense spending. He had threatened to veto the spending bill during summer negotiations with Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Critics have warned the defense bill nevertheless contains $100B in unnecessary spending on other equipment, including F-35 jet engines. Obama today called for further "fundamental" reforms in how the government and Pentagon do business, according to CNN.

Thirty-year Government Accountability Office veteran Winslow T. Wheeler warned earlier this year not to trust talk of defense spending reform. "For decades, the media have taken their descriptions of the size of the defense budget straight from the Pentagon's annual press release," he wrote. "Its business as usual, pure and simple."
