Ted Pike is warning that the thought police are still at it with the "Hate Crimes" bill.

EMERGENCY ALERT!
SENATOR KENNEDY MAY TRY TO PASS ââ¬ÅHATE BILLââ¬Â THIS WEEK!
By Rev. Ted Pike
The office of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist says that Senator Edward Kennedy will probably try this week to attach his hate crimes bill, S.1145, defeated by Judiciary last Thursday, onto the Sex Offenders Registration Act, S.1086.
It is vital to call all members of the Senate, both Republican and Democrat, with this message: ââ¬ÅPlease do not vote for Senator Kennedyââ¬â¢s hate crimes amendment!ââ¬Â
Come to [url]www.truthtellers.org[/url] for the complete list of Senators. Call 1-888-355-3588 and let the capitol switchboard relay you from Senator to Senator.
The hate bill passed 65 to 33 in the Senate in June 2004 but was later stripped in conference. Senator Kennedy is confident that the Senate will again pass his hate bill, even though the Judiciary rejected it.
Be sure of one thing: Senator Kennedy will continue to be as deceptive and maneuvering as he has always been - clear back to Chappaquidick. The best way to guarantee his defeat is by saturating the Senate with your protests NOW!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What this bill does:
1. Sets up federally protected groups, such as homosexuals, Jews, and Muslims, for special protection. 2. Unites local and federal law enforcement. 3. Will eventually enforce ADL definition that ââ¬Åhateââ¬Â equals bias against members of federally protected groups

Sadly there isn't a whole lot of point to stopping bills like this anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally against criminalizing these "thought crimes" and hope the Senate does not do so, but sadly the battle has already been lost at the state level, where many, many states have these laws. Unfortunate but true. I suppose it is a small victory to continue to resist them at the Federal Level.
