Hate crimes bill and mothers.

I called my representative about Hate Crimes... and the bill that goes up for a vote on Thursday.

I spoke with a staffer called Elizabeth and told her that as a citizen and mother, I felt strongly about the protection for ALL our citizens. I asked her how Representative Jim Cooper was going to vote, she said she did not know, but would take down my name, address and position on the issue.

Very simple.

I will continue to encourage folks to do the same. Go here for talking points and direction on how to act.

Everyone has a mother. Mothers protect their children and ALL our children. It's what we do. And keep doing.
