Everyone needs to write to their congressman Steve King (IA) to show your support for his amendment to the hate crime bill. Steve is right: this kind of legislation promotes the concept of 'protected classes' who can get away with things the 'non protected classes' [read: white males] can't.
This video tells it all:
Steve, you're a hero to all of us here in Iowa. Keep up the good work.
Congress Votes to Protect Pedophiles, But Not Veterans

This is really kind of mind numbing and demonstrates what is wrong with Congress. During a House Judiciary Committee meeting, Congressman Steve King (R-IA) offered up an amendment to the hate crimes bill to exclude pedophiles from being a protected category under the hate crimes legislation.
Every single Democrat voted it down.
In the same meeting, Congressman Tom Rooney (R-FL) offered an amendment to include veterans as a class protected under the hate crimes bill. Not only did the Democrats vote it down, but Cogresswoman Debbie Waasserman Schultz attacked the Republicans for even thinking veterans might need protection under hate crimes legislation. After all, who but Democrats in Congress hate veterans?
