I have recently received warnings about the status of S. 909, "The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act." Although the actual bill no longer exists because it could not be passed in its existing form, there is concern that the legislation will be added as an amendment to another necessary bill. (Even though S. 909 does not exist as a formal bill, I will refer to this bill number simply for ease of reference).
There are two very major concerns about S. 909 legislation. First, it includes protection for "sexual orientation" but does not define what that means. For this reason, the bill was dubbed "the pedophile protection act." CitizenLink, a publication of Focus on the Family, notes, "Also concerning is the fact that House Democrats voted down an amendment to their bill that would have excluded pedophilia from the definition of 'sexual orientation.'"
Second, the broad, unspecific language of this legislation raises concerns that any speech, especially religious, that criticizes or condemns particular sexual behaviors will become treated as "hate speech." More info on these concerns is available at Operation Save America.
Members of leftist organizations are howling at such accusations and concerns, of course. Child molestation will never be legal and free speech will never be threatened, they tell us. I invite any interested reader to consider the track record of liberal "promises" when it comes to violating established moral and ethical boundaries. What they seek is a start so that they can continue to push their immoral agendas further and further into our lives. For instance, abortion began with emotional pleas about protecting innocent victims from having to bear a child resulting from rape or incest (which will likely become protected through "hate crime" legislation). It began with promises that abortions would be limited to the first trimester. Flash forward to the present: abortion is now demanded as a right for any woman at any time up to and including post-birth (infants born alive following an abortion attempt have been allowed to die through intentional neglect).
The last time I was privileged to host the Peter Heck Radio Talk Show, I raised the issue that the very arguments used to justify the legal standing of homosexual behavior would eventually be used to justify the legal standing of pedophile behavior and any form of adult-child sexual relationship. It does not seem possible to reasonable Americans, but this is exactly the tact being taken by those who are pressing their agenda through a variety of means. I invite you to read the responses of "porlaverdad3" at the MorganWrites blog.
Our Senators need to know that giving legal status to deviant sexual behavior is not acceptable. I urge you to contact your Senators about this. I include my draft of a letter that you can use below. You can find contact information for your Senator at senate.gov. Please take action.

Dear Senator:
I request that you OPPOSE AND FILIBUSTER ANY "HATE CRIMES" AMENDMENT, which was until recently labeled S. 909. The original bill was so dangerously crafted that it could not be passed standing alone; instead, indications are that it will become a hidden amendment to another "must-move" bill.
This so-called "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act" must be defeated. This amendment will mirror the House bill passed as H.R. 1913, which makes "sexual orientation," "gender," and "gender identity" federally-protected classes under the law, and thereby codifies protection of up to 547 types of sexually deviant behaviors, including but not limited to:
Incest - sex with one's offspring (a crime, of course)
Necrophilia - sexual relations with a corpse, also a crime
Pedophilia - sex with an underage child, another crime
Zoophilia - bestiality, a crime in numerous states
Voyeurism - a criminal offense in most states
Fronteurism - a man approaching an unknown woman and rubbing against her buttocks
Coprophilia - sexual arousal from feces
Urophilia - sexual arousal from urine
This legislation also begins to lay the legal foundation and framework to investigate, prosecute, and persecute anyone whose religious or secular speech and thought is based upon and reflects the truths found in religious texts or medical, psychiatric, and psychological studies.
S. 909 broadly defines "intimidation," thus a pastor's sermon or a doctor’s recommendation could be considered "hate speech" under this legislation if heard by an individual who then acts aggressively against persons based on any "sexual orientation." Prosecution could be based upon "conspiracy to commit a hate crime."
If you vote for this bill, you will be responsible for elevating pedophiles and other bizarre sexual orientations to unprecedented and unwise levels of protection. I believe that violence against another person should be prosecuted in accordance with appropriate law, BUT SEXUALLY DEVIANT BEHAVIOR SHOULD NOT BE ELEVATED AND PROTECTED BY LAW. Please OPPOSE AND FILIBUSTER any amendment similar to S. 909.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]

It's scarey how the wording on a bill can open a door to all kinds of junk, isn't it? May G-d give members of both parties the courage and common sense to say "NO!" to this attempt once again.
I know, Tsofah. Isn't it amazing that Representatives in the House refused to exclude pedophilia from the definition of sexual orientation?
