NRN Blog Alert: Action Needed on Hate Crimes Bill
Thursday, July 16, 2009 at 08:41AM Dear Fellow Blogger,
The Obama push to force through his biased "hate crime" legislation just went into high gear -- and we need to alert all of our readers to call their Senators now!
Here is the urgent note I just received from Lanier Swann, the special assistant to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell:
Friends,
Moments ago Majority Leader Reid filed a hate crimes amendment to the DOD Authorization Bill. He then filled the tree, which means no amendments can be offered to his amendment, and filed cloture on the amendment.
Thanks,
Lanier
In other words, Reid -- under the thumb of Obama and Holder -- is attaching the bill to an unrelated defense bill, in order to force senators to vote for it if they want to protect our troops. He is allowing no amendments. And he is calling for cloture to rush the bill through before any debate can take place.
We need to stop it now. So, please sound the alarm to all of your readers!
