Has anyone heard about this issue?
This is urgent! Just days ago, dangerous legislation ...
... legislation that could deny Christians their right of free speech and freedom of religion, muzzling the truth of the Gospel ...
... was under-handedly attached to an unrelated Department of Defense (DoD) bill, in a desperate attempt by Senate liberals to push the hate-crimes bill forward.
Thankfully, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, sponsor of the DoD bill, responded courageously to block the attached hate-crimes amendment, because of its irrelevance to the defense bill.
Sen. Ted Kennedy, true to form, vowed from the Senate floor Tuesday that this legislation will return.
Let me tell you in no uncertain terms: We as Christians DO NOT WANT this hate-crimes legislation to pass.
The bill is, itself, a "hate crime" against Christianity and its worldview. It would levy a gag order on pastors and dilute the message of the Gospel ... particularly as it relates to speaking the truth about the homosexual agenda.
Please don't be deceived by this legislation! It is nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing.
While attempting to curb crimes against specific people groups, hate-crimes legislation would in fact commit a crime against the freedoms of speech and religion of believers and choke the voice of pastors throughout the United States.
We MUST stand up and protect our liberties. We MUST make it our aim to keep this legislation from being passed.[/color]
