1.) "Hate Crimes" Bill Will Criminalize Free Speech - I just took action on this issue and thought you might find it interesting too. On Wednesday, April 22 the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to mark up and pass HR 1913 -- the “Hate Crimes” bill. This bill wants to criminalize speech that insults politically-fashionable minorities, such as gays. Even if it means sacrificing religious freedom to do it.
This info comes from HumanEvents.com - To contact your reps:

This is what I put in the "Comments' section of that email:
H.R. 1913 is a threat to freedom of speech and religion and must be
stopped!
I both ask for and EXPECT your total OPPOSITION to this bill when it
comes to the floor for a vote.
It is the most horrible, open-ended abortion of the First Amendment that I
have ever seen - and it is SURE to be both ABUSED and MISUSED by those
seeking to squelch opposition to their Parties platforms and agenda's.
You can NOT in good conscience or as a
Constitution-believing/supporting-CITIZEN support this bill.
Thank you.
I'll be watching.
Hit this one and hit it QUICK!
Forward it to EVERYONE in your address books. Pete
