Hate crime vote tomorrow - please help!!!
I just received this disturbing e-mail and I am begging my neighbors to call their representatives and show your support for the Hate Crimes Bill -:
Dear Stacey,
I'm forwarding you a message from our legislative director,
Allison - the vote on hate crimes will be Thursday, and she's
got some disturbing news.
Apparently legislators are being so heavily bombarded with calls
and emails from the radical right that some are getting very
nervous about voting for the bill. Knowing how close we are,
that's not good.
Your representative has been a leader on this issue, but we need
to make sure our voice is stronger than the radical right's.
EVEN IF YOU'VE ALREADY CALLED YOUR REPRESENTATIVE about
this bill, and even if they've said they'll vote for it, we need
you to pick up the phone RIGHT NOW and remind them of your
support.
>> Call Representative Yvette
Clarke at (202) 225-6231.
For talking points, and to tell us you called, go to:

Thank you so much,
Joe
PS - Hey Super Mods can you cross-post this to politics also? Thanks

Sorry I thought the link was there as soon as I find it I will add it. What disturbs me is our representatives may cave in and not vote for the bill.
Howdy, Stranger!
