From Bryan Fischer, Idaho Values Alliance

It will soon be time to ask you to contact both Sen. Craig and Sen. Crapo to express your opposition to the “hate crimes” legislation (S. 1105) soon to be voted on by the U.S. Senate. This bill represents the greatest current threat to religious liberty and free speech rights in America, and will essentially result in the criminalization of Christianity if enacted.

“Hate crimes” laws are almost exclusively used to criminalize speech which opposes the normalization of homosexuality. Proponents of the legislation yesterday attacked conservative Christians who oppose it as “right-wing fundamentalists” with “often-bigoted agendas,” increasing the odds that they are the first ones they’d go after should the bill go into law. (What else is a “hate crimes” bill for, if not to stop “bigoted” people?)

One supporter said it was “bothersome to me that some African-American preachers” oppose this bill, because it makes everyone think that black churches are “homophobic.” (What else is a “hate crimes” bill for, if not to stop “homophobic” people?)
