Why do we need Hate crime??

This is the true story of so called hate crimes in the USA today...

This issue has been going on for a couple of years now.... There are certain groups who want to have a totally controlled agenda... It offers only one way to get their way... Some religions operate the same; their way or off with your head!! ( This is popular in the Mideast ) This idea of so called hate crimes is stupid and just a way to get an agenda put into place; which will allow them to get their ideas into your life...

The truth does not need to be supported!! It stands on it's own; based on true principles... Why do you need to have a so called " Hate Crime" ?? Any crime is a selfish act which when perpetrated; was not done because they liked someone... Therefore all crimes are actually " Hate" crimes.... HUH!!

Here is an e-mail I received; please read and reply if you like...

Hate Crimes Law: A Real Threat to Your Religious Freedom

Sign our petition to Congress today

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.

Dear Interested citizen,

As we reported last week, US 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

<http://www3.capwiz.com/afanet/issues/bills/?bill=9642666> - appears
on a fast track to passage unless you act today. It is a threat to
