Why We need To Organize NOW
Who will finally sign the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act?
By all reports, it's not going to be President Bush. Even though 60 percent of Republicans support expanding current hate crimes legislation to include crimes of sexual orientation or identity, the White House vowed last month to veto the legislation.
It's not going to be any of the 2008 Republican presidential candidates either. Not one of the dozen or so GOP hopefuls has promised to sign the bill, and many have already voted against this or similar legislation in the House or Senate.
If we're going to protect the safety of the LGBT community -- and the safety of all Americans from crimes of hate -- we must elect a Democratic president in 2008.
