Contact Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and urge him to support the Mathew Shepard Hate Crime Legislation.
The below correspondence was received in response to a request made to Sen. Chambliss that he support national hate crimes legislation.
"Thank you for contacting me regarding your thoughts on hate crime legislation. I appreciate hearing your concerns on this matter."
"There is little evidence that indicates that violent crimes motivated by "hate" go unpunished in the United States. Most states already have criminal laws that prohibit the anti-social behavior addressed by hate crime legislation - including laws against murder, rape, arson, assault, and battery."
"I oppose the creation of Federal hate crime legislation for a variety of reasons. First, I do not believe the Federal government should interfere with the criminal laws already on the books in our states. Second, many hate crime bills attempt to establish a "protected class" of crime victims who would receive special protection under the law. And finally, we already have laws to prosecute individuals who commit violent crimes. Those people guilty of violent crimes against anyone should be prosecuted under existing law."
Some back ground information
A sample Letter
I hope you will support a Senate hate crimes bill.
The LGBT community has long unjustly suffered from violent crime targeted directly against Transgender, Bisexual, Queer, Gay and Lesbian people, law enforcements inability to identify hate crimes against LGBT people and the judicial systems inability to enforce harsher sentencing for hate crimes against LGBT people.

'Man in the Shower' says eye witness Mary Ann Ondray er I mean Mary Ann Andree, I mean Mary ann, oh whatever.
"Have Hate" and no way to express it?
"We have a speical today on the ever popular 'shower' method." According to Mary Ann Jane Doe of the 'Concerned Citizens of whatever' "We have refined the shower method allowing the creation of an extremly dangerous precedents by getting close friends (or club members and even husbands) to cross dress, commit crimes by invading the opposite sex's most personal space while they are most vulnerable."
"Apparently success was achieved in our last effort" according to Whatever Jane Doe, "Not only can someone claim at some point that this was a only 'test' of a law, but it gives credence to potential criminals that this behaviour is permissible hopefully perpetuating violence and validating our incredibly outrageous claims."
"It's a win win for us haters" says Mary Ann Whatever Dope "We can lobby against human rights laws while actually promoting hate crimes and violence against woman and children!"
"Its all for a just cause. Our cause. Hate and Bigotry." says Doe Jane Whatever, "Now here is the kicker. You can even change the names of the perpetrators and continue to highlight this event as 'Evidence' of the dangers of enacting human rights laws and our husbands, club members and good ole buddies can walk away, scott free in full view of law enforcement."
'Concerned Citizens for something or another' did not return latter calls regarding possible 'Testing' of federal perjury laws.
