ACTION ALERT
Ted Kennedy's hate crimes plan

Liberty CounselIn less than a week, we expect Congress to begin pushing the second plank of Teddy Kennedy's hate crimes legislative plan.
Kennedy has managed to get his "Hate Crimes Prevention Act" added as an amendment to the Defense Department Appropriations bill. His plan is to get Hate Crimes legislation passed on the coattails of the bill that funds the entire Defense Department -- a bill the President may feel forced to sign to fund the Iraq war.
Right now, that appropriations bill is in the House-Senate conference committee. Since the House version of the bill did not include the Kennedy Hate Crimes amendment, this is one of the key differences the conference must resolve.
If this bill emerges from conference with the Kennedy Hate Crimes amendment, we will move dangerously close to passage of Kennedy's pet Hate Crimes project.

With a new FBI report indicating a 7 percent increase in hate crimes nationally, we expect homosexual rights groups to increase pressure starting this week.
I want to counter these efforts with at least 50 faxes every day from citizens like you who oppose Teddy Kennedy's anti-faith hate crimes agenda.
We have identified all the key targets on the House-Senate Conference who will decide whether Hate Crimes gets included in the final bill. Please go here to schedule your faxes today:
Please note -- we offer this faxing service as a convenience for you. Your gift to Liberty Counsel covers the cost of the fax delivery and helps us continue our vital efforts. If you prefer to send your own faxes, please do so! We have provided all the contact information on the same site.
Robert R., Teddy Kennedy has been waiting many years for this opportunity to pass his hate crimes plan. You and I are the last line of defense!
Will you be one of the 50 friends we need each day to keep a steady stream of faxes flooding Congress?
Thank you so much for your vigilance!
