Hate Crimes Law: A Real Threat to Your Religious Freedom

Sign our petition to Congress today

Dear Aaron,

As we reported last week, Congress is considering a "hate crimes" law that would authorize enhanced punishments for crimes committed because of various reasons, including sexual orientation. If the law passes in the near future the federal government will be empowered to investigate and punish politically incorrect speech and thoughts.

Think it can't happen here? Consider what has happened in Oakland, California, where the following words disseminated through the government’s open email system and employee bulletin board have been deemed inflammatory and perhaps even a hate crime: “Marriage is the foundation of the natural family and sustains family values.”

Please take a few minutes to read the insightful commentary about the Oakland case by columnist George Will titled, "When marriage became a 'hate crime.'"

The federal "hate crimes" legislation - H.R. 1592 and S. 1105 - appears on a fast track to passage unless you act today. It is a threat to your freedom of speech and your freedom of religion.

Take Action

We are looking for one million Americans willing to take a stand and not allow a small group of homosexual activists to take away our freedoms. Can we count on you? Click on the link below to sign our Petition to Congress in Defense of Religious Freedom.

Please forward this to others, especially your pastor, and ask them to get involved in protecting our freedoms of speech and religion. This threat to our religious freedoms is real!

If you think our efforts are worthy, would you please support us with a small gift? Thank you for caring enough to get involved.

Please help us get this information into the hands of as many people as possible by forwarding it to your family and friends.

Sincerely,

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

P.S. Please forward this e-mail message to your family and friends!

I hope everybody that reads UP will sign this petition. The last thing we need is to be outlaws because we hang "The Family: A Proclamation To The World" on our walls.

I honestly cannot see this making it into law.  There are too many First Amendment issues here that I doubt it would see the day of light past the Supreme Court.  Shocked as I would be if it did, I could see a huge uprising in this country, and I for one would be right there defending the constitution as I actively did for 9 years of my life when I raised my hand to support and defend it.  I will not sit idly by and watch the country that I love go to pot for a few minorities who look to justify there indiscretions.

People like you and I that have raised our right arms to the square to defend the constitution need to keep doing it until dead; even if defending it means to let people know that morons in this country are doing stupid stuff like what this article is opposing.

I still urge all to take this seriously. Defeat from complacency comes from underestimation.
