Pass the Matthew Shepard Act

The Issue

From: The Human Rights Campaign

In a hard-won victory, hate crimes legislation has passed the House of Representatives. The bill now goes to the U.S. Senate - where the radical right, terrified of this legislation, has stepped up their attacks. It is essential that the Senate passes this bill with a broad enough majority to discourage a presidential veto. Tell your Senators to support the Matthew Shepard Act.
