Opposition to Hate Bills gain momentum

Three weeks ago, during the stimulus bill controversy, I queried House Judiciary aides if anyone was calling to protest the two federal hate crimes bills. No one was! Ten days ago, the news was better: four or five concerned people called every day. Last Friday, I called all 39 members to ask the same question. The results were even better!

Rep. Lamar Smith’s office said 25% of all callers were protesting the hate bills. Rep. Issa’s office said the hate bill issue replaced the stimulus bill in number of calls! Many Democrat offices also reported their phones ringing with this issue. Some had received no calls but others heard from as many as 10 or 15 people by early afternoon.

Six Judiciary offices said they are aware of NPN’s video How to Kill the Hate Bills. Before I could finish telling them about where the video was, the staff of Rep. Conyers, Wexler, Johnson, and Schiffs finished my sentence with “at truthtellers.org.” Two said they had watched the video.

One aide objected, “The Anti-Defamation League says the National Prayer Network is an extremist group!” I replied that ADL is the biggest name-caller on the planet. They call anyone who disagrees with them, or is critical of Israel, an “anti-Semite.”

Rep. Issa’s spokeswoman also knew of the video, as did the spokesman of Rep. Chaffetz. He said their office is very much against the hate bills and is delighted that even “five or six calls are coming in every day.” He told me that calls, not emails, are the most effective way to impact Congressional offices.
