On the fast track: Judiciary panel to consider hate crimes bill Tuesday
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
WASHINGTON – The Senate Judiciary Committee will consider Tuesday a hate crimes bill already approved by the House that, critics say, provides special protections for pedophiles and others with alternative "gender identities" such as voyeurism and exhibitionism.
WND first reported on what has become widely known as "The Pedophile Protection Act" last week, raising nationwide alarm that has already generated more than 250,000 individual letters of protest to members of the U.S. Senate.
By special arrangement through WND, for only $10.95 members of the public can send 100 individually addressed letters to each senator by overnight mail. Each letter is individually "signed" by the sender. The letters ask for a written response and call for opposition to the bill, including by filibuster if necessary.
On Friday, Rep. Louis Gohmert, R-Texas, and Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said the only chance to defeat the legislation was for a massive outpouring of opposition from the American people.
"If you guys don't raise enough stink there's no chance of stopping it," U.S. Rep. Louis Gohmert said last week on a radio program with WND columnist Janet Porter. She's the chief of the Faith2Action Christian ministry and has coordinated a campaign to allow citizens to send overnight letters to members of the U.S. Senate expressing opposition to the plan.
Already well over 2,500 people have utilized the procedures and more than 250,000 letters have been dispatched to members of the Senate.
"It's entirely in the hands of your listeners and people across the country," Gohmert told Porter. "If you guys put up a strong enough fight, that will give backbone enough to the 41 or 42 in the Senate to say we don't want to have our names on that."

I commented on this bill here not long ago and some idiot replied that I was making this stuff up. Whoever you are, it's time for you to eat your crow!
Thanks for bringing this bill to light Joe. Next thing you know the Gitmo terrorists will be living somewhere in Virginia being supported with our tax dollars in the form of welfare. Welcome to America.
Just more liberalism at work. Come on you Obamabots, defend this one. The dems just look at this as another way to get more voters like illegal immigrants, gays, etc
protect them.
prosecute for "hate" crimes...
Aren't all these HATE crimes?
To me they all are and ought not to be separated. Treat 'em all as HATE crimes. that's what they are...
So let me get this right, a pedophile can molest a child, get a slap on the hand, and then make millions later on in court because someone "hates" them. Meanwhile, the child who has been molested (the real victim) has to live the rest of their lives with the horror of what a monster of a person has done. This makes no sense at all... why don't we hand down harsher penalties instead?
The bill is real, idiot. Half of what you're claiming is in it isn't. There's no protection provided for those who commit crimes against children. That isn't an "alternative gender identity". That's just something the far right uses to help draw government into your bedroom.
If someone rapes my daughter and I punch them in the face I'm charged with a "hate crime?"
10:10pm I told you it's in two different bills, this is just one. Don't have a Cow Dude. This is just one of the two bills I was talking about. No need for sour grapes because you were wrong.
It was this bill I believe also provides special protection while incarcarated to protect child molesters from jail rape. That too would be a hate crime. Oh course a lifer wouldn't care.
