We must stop any type of "hate crimes" legislation. It is deplorably wrong. The law must deal only with action — not what motivated the person to commit an act.
Governments cannot legislate against discrimination. It doesn't work. It is unenforceable. And it is outside the realm of their authority.
The House already passed this. We must tell our senators this hate crimes bill must not pass!
This is a clear example of the wrong-headed thinking of many of our leaders.
