Subject:
Support the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act
Dear [ Decision Maker ],
I'm writing to ask you to vote for the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act this month. As your constituent, and as a citizen, I believe law enforcement officials need additional support from the federal government to help fight bias-motivated violence.
As Americans, we must take a strong stand against violence committed against our neighbors for simply being themselves. The purpose of our government, first and foremost, is to protect all of our citizens - whether they are black, disabled, Christian transgendered, or gay.
This Act would also provide much-needed resources for local law enforcement agencies, so they can investigate and prosecute hate crimes. Opponents of the federal bill wrongly characterize its scope and purpose - this legislation is not about enhancing penalties for these types of crimes, nor does it punish thoughts or speech. The bill simply is about providing resources to law enforcement to help investigate, apprehend and prosecute vicious criminals.
This legislation has long been supported by 31 state Attorneys-General, former U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh, the National District Attorneys Association, the National Sheriffs Association, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the Police Executive Forum and many other law enforcement organizations.
Please vote for the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
[Your address]

I know from dealing with Section 8 in PA that just throwing money at a problem wont help it go away. Thats not the answer...There are already enough laws on the books that if they were enforced even handidly would work just as well.
Dems answer to everything is just to make more and more complicated laws.
I wouldnt support this bill as written on that basis.

i recieved a rather lucid phone call from her when i was in la-
she wishes not to be discussed and that her thread (which was removed a long time ago) be removed.
she is doing fine from what she said- but that is all the news i have.
