Don't let them silence Free Speech and Silence the Christians
We have never before been closer to the passage of federal hate crimes bills. If passed, the ground work will be laid that will lead to the silencing of Christians. With a liberal majority in control of Congress and a President ready to sign hate crimes bills, now more than ever, Christians need to be vocal in opposition before it is too late.
You only need to look north to Canada and see the effect of these kinds of hate laws. Pastors are not allowed to publicly declare over the airwaves or publish in the newspapers the truth about Islam and homosexuality.
If we are silent, it won’t be long until the church is told to keep all their “hateful” ideas to themselves, including the need for faith in Christ to be saved. Criticizing anyone for their sinful behavior or deviant theology will be considered a hate crime. This will put every faithful minister in jail.
Strategy
We need to focus all our efforts on killing these bills while they are in the committee process before they make it to the floor of Congress. By then it may be too late.
Status
Hate crimes bills, H.R. 256 and H.R. 262, are already pending before the House Judiciary Committee. They have just been transferred to a sub-committee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security. The sub-committee has not placed it on a schedule yet, but will be very soon.
ACTION:
1) Pray for God to stop this attack on our constitutional rights!
2) Sign our anti-Hate Crime Petition. We are monitoring these bills and as soon as they are taken up in committee we will send your name, along with thousands of others, to every member of the committee expressing your opposition.
4) Call the sub-committees members today! Let them know that hate crimes bills are an attack on your freedom of speech and free exercise of religion.
