Resent-Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 01:13:30 -0500
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING AND DON'T KILL THIS PETITION. IF YOU AREN'T
SIGNING, FORWARD THIS TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IF YOU DON'T FORWARD IT, THE
NAMES SIGNED MAY NOT COUNT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
Background:
On October 6, outside Laramie, Wyoming, Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old
University of Wyoming student, was tortured, beaten, and left tied to a pole
in the freezing cold. Six days later, he died of his wounds in Poudre Valley
Hospital, Fort Collins, Colorado. Matthew was murdered because he was gay
and because he was a prominent and charismatic member of the gay and lesbian
student group on campus. Right now Wyoming and Colorado have no anti-hate
crime laws; the state legislature in Wyoming has voted down anti-bias bills
for each of the past three years. There is an effort in Wyoming and Colorado
to enact Matthew Shepard Laws, which would strongly punish the perpetrators
of hate crimes. This petition demands the broadening of federal anti-hate
crime law.
Opening Statement:
"We state strongly that violence on the basis of sexual orientation,
race or gender is wrong, is evil, is reprehensible." John Buehren,
Presidentof The Unitarian Universalist speaks for Unitarian Universalists,
but his words are reflected in the hearts of people everywhere who believe
we must speak out, take action against, and condemn hate crimes in all their
ugly forms.
A resolution follows:
WHEREAS: We affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every
person. WHEREAS: We commend the efforts of those individuals who dedicate
their lives to causes of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED: That we hereby urge the passage of The Hate Crimes
Prevention Act (HCPA), H.R.3081 and S.1529. The Hate Crimes Prevention Act
(HCPA), H.R.3081 and S.1529, would amend current federal law (which permits
federal prosecution of a hate crime only if the crime was motivated by bias
based on religion, national origin, or color) to include real or perceived
sexual orientation, gender, and disability so the FBI would be able to
investigate and prosecute violent hate crimes against gays, lesbians, and
bisexuals. Under this bill, hate crimes that cause death or bodily injury
because of prejudice can be investigated federally, regardless of whether
the victim was exercising a federally protected right. The only way that our
representatives can be aware of the base of support for this change to the
current law is by making our voices heard. Please add your name to this
petition and forward it, to then be forwarded to the President of The United
States; the Vice President of the United States; and our United States
Senators and House Members.
Petition Management:
