The U.S. Senate, on June 15, 2004 voted 65 to 33 in favor of the federal hate bill, "The Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act," LLEEA. Although this bill was defeated by Republicans in conference on Oct. 8, 2004, the general House of Representatives, in a symbolic, non-binding vote, voted 213 to 186 in favor if LLEEA.

On May 26th, the ADL introduced the "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005," HR 2662. It is virtually identical to the "Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005" except that it provides special federal protection for "gender identity" as well as "sexual orientation."

This "Big Brother" legislation will establish a vast "anti-hate" bureaucracy similar to Canada's, breaking down all barriers to federal intervention in state's rights in law enforcement.

It will enforce everywhere the ADL/federal definition that "hate" equals bias against federally protected groups, especially homosexuals.

This twisted definition makes the Bible into "hate speech." It sets up Bible believing Christians, pastors, talk show hosts, etc., as "haters" - half guilty of being "hate criminals."

Letter to State Legislators:

Dear Senator / Representative _____________:

On Oct. 8, 2004, 11 Christians were arrested and jailed for 21 hours under Pennsylvania's anti-hate law. They had been peacefully preaching at a "Gay Pride" parade.

While such laws give the impression of protecting the civil rights of minorities from bias-motivated violence or intimidation, they actually lead to loss of free speech. Under Canada's anti-hate law, it is now virtually illegal to criticize homosexual behavior over the airwaves, in print, or in public. The consequences: large fines and imprisonment.

Don't let that happen in America!

Respectfully-

Letter to Federal Legislators: (Long Version)

Dear Senator / Congressman ________________:

On Oct. 8, 2004, 11 Christians were arrested and jailed for 21 hours under Pennsylvania's anti-hate law. They had been peacefully preaching at a "Gay Pride" parade. Please do NOT vote for the federal hate law next spring.

Existing laws adequately criminalize all forms of violence and intimidation against persons because of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, handicaps, etc.

The government's business is to enforce laws, not determine the motivation of those who commit crimes. In Canada, such a dual responsibility has created an end to free speech. Here's how: the government first defines "hate" as public criticism of such groups as homosexuals and Jews, then prosecutes as "haters" those who hurt the feelings of such protected groups. Result: there now exists a chill on free speech as sincere Canadians have become intimidated by "anti-intimidation" laws.

The FBI's annual "Uniform Crime Report" consistently shows that so-called "hate crimes" constitute only about 1/10th of 1% of all crime in America. Of this 1/10th of 1%, most have not been adjudicated but are called "crime" because of the conclusions of investigating police. Actually, most are "suspected bias crimes incidents" not proven crimes.

Such infinitesimal numbers of proven hate crimes does not justify unprecedented, massive intrusion of the federal government into local law enforcement.

Please vote "NO" on the "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005," HR 2662!

Respectfully-
