from the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force:
When hate crimes legislation passed in the House of Representatives, we knew it would only be a matter of time before we'd need you and all of our supporters to take action again — this time to help push this critical legislation through the Senate.
The Task Force has learned that the Senate may be voting on hate crimes legislation as soon as this Thursday as an amendment to the Department of Defense appropriations bill.
That's why it's so important for you to make your voice heard now, before it's too late.
Call your senators right away to urge them to pass the hate crimes amendment without delay.
With your help, we can convince our senators to do the right thing. Once the amendment passes the Senate, it will go back to the House for approval. And once that's happened, it will be sent to President Obama for his signature. This means we are literally steps away from securing federal protection for the LGBT community from vicious attacks and hate.
But your senators need to hear from you. They need to know that you're holding them accountable for the passage of this bill. Every single one of us must act — and act now — to ensure that it is passed.
Please call right now and then urge everyone you know to contact their senators.
Thank you for taking action and for spreading the word.
