Janet Porter

WASHINGTON – Opponents of a “hate crimes” bill in the U.S. Senate that would provide special protections for pedophiles are organizing an unprecedented effort to kill the legislation with an avalanche of letters to individual senators in the next week.

Janet Porter, WND columnist and president of Faith2Action, today announces her campaign to send thousands of letters to every senator by overnight delivery.

For only $10.95, any member of the public can send letters to all 100 senators, individually addressed and “signed” by the sender. The letters will ask for a written response and call for opposition to the bill, including by filibuster if necessary.

“Here is what the body of the letter says:

“I am writing to urge you to do all in your power to oppose passage of S.909, also known as ‘The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act.’

“Passage of this bill by the U.S. Senate would be reckless and irresponsible not only because of the ‘chilling effect’ it would have on First Amendment-guaranteed rights to free speech, but also because it would provide, for the first time ever, special legal protections for pedophiles and other sexual offenders.

“This bill would more appropriately be called ‘The Pedophile Protection Act.’

“The evidence for this extraordinary statement comes directly from debate in the House, when a simple amendment to exempt pedophiles from the protections offered by the bill were rejected.

“I write to warn you that those who support it, or allow it to become the law of the land without a fight, will be held accountable at election time.

“If there was ever a time for the Senate to stand and fight with a filibuster, that time is now. We are calling for members of the Senate, Republicans and Democrats alike, to stop S. 909.

“Stop ‘The Pedophile Protection Act’ dead in its tracks – now.

“Please respond to me in writing as to whether you intend to oppose this dangerous bill – including by filibuster if necessary.”

Send your letter of opposition now to all 100 senators by overnight delivery.
