Email Action Alert from American Family Association
Senate could vote on the “hate crimes” bill as early as today.
Urgent: Your phone call to your senators needed today! See below for #s.
The Senate will be voting, as early as today, on S.1105, the so-called "hate crimes" bill. Under S.1105, acts of crime committed against members of certain protected classes - including those who identify themselves by their "actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity" - would warrant more intense prosecution and greater penalties than the very same acts committed against heterosexuals.
It would establish homosexuals as a special class of people and give them special rights.
It is no stretch to argue that S. 1105, if enacted, will embody a national policy that will likely lead to the criminalization and civil sanction of the biblical view of homosexuality.
Read these two stories - The tragic story of Jesse Dirkhising and Woman's death at hands of 'gay' her fault, says lawyer - to see how homosexuals murdered heterosexuals but were not charged with a hate crime. Had the roles been reversed - the victims homosexual and the perpetrators heterosexual - they could have been charged. Under S.1105, homosexuals are a "protected class" while heterosexuals are not.
PRAY AND TAKE ACTION
- Ask God to prevent the Hate Crimes Bill from passing. Ask God to change the minds of Senators Schumer and Clinton. Cover the call with the Blood of Jesus.
- It is vitally important for you to call your two senators today and tell them to vote against S.1105, the "hate crimes" bill.
Charles Schumer: 1.202.224.6542 (please call between 9am & 5pm)

TalkingPoints:
1) I am very disappointed to see that you are a co-sponsor of S.1105, the “hate crimes” bill.
2) Criminalizing thoughts and creating special categories of victims is unconstitutional. S.1105 would undermine the promise of equal protection under the law guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. This legislation creates second-class victims and a legal system of "separate and unequal."
3) There has been no proof that violent crimes perpetrated against any of the groups listed in the bill have not been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, yet now Congress is asking the federal government to get involved in issues that are, and should remain, local concerns.
4) By far the most disturbing threat we face by this legislation - is the threat it poses to free speech and our religious liberties. In some jurisdictions that have adopted similar laws, “hate crimes” have been defined to include not just physical acts of violence but mere words, too, such as reading from the Bible at a gay event. When "thought crimes" laws are interpreted this way, they pose a serious threat to freedom of speech and religious liberty.
5) The Act would give “special victim” status to a powerful and politically favored group that is identified not by a belief or immutable trait, by solely by its sexual preference.
6) S.1105, the “hate crimes” bill, is unnecessary and I urge you withdraw your support from the legislation.
Senator Clinton was a sponsor of this bill also, call her office and voice your strong opposition to this legislation. 1.202.224.4451
Be Blessed~~~
