Evangelical Ministry to Send Bush Over 33,000 Petitions against Hate Crimes Bill

A well-known conservative evangelical ministry has gathered more than 33,000 petitions against a “hate crimes” legislation and will deliver them to President Bush and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell this week.The petitions collected by Coral Ridge Ministries are a response to the hate crimes amendment that Sens.Ted Kennedy(D-Mass.)and Gordon Smith(R-Ore.)attached to the defense spending bill under consideration in the Senate this week.“This is the single most dangerous piece of legislation we have seen in the recent past,because of its threat to silence the Church on the subject of homosexual behavior,”said Jerry Newcombe, senior producer of The Coral Ridge Hour,CRM’S TV broadcast.“I shudder to think what the impact on free speech will be if this law is enacted.”Many Christian and pro-family groups have been protesting the hate crimes bill for months,arguing that the federal bill is repetitive of existing state laws and threatens the free speech of those who speak on the biblical view of homosexuality.The hate crimes legislation seeks to add sexual orientation,gender,gender identity and disability to the list of racial,ethnic,and religious categories already protected under law.It would also make it easier for the federal government to become involved in hate crimes investigations.
