Veto AGAIN?
May 3, 2007 at 11:35 pm | In activism | 1 CommentHow much am I hating George Bush right about now?
The good news: Today the House passed a bill that would add gender and sexual orientation to the categories covered by federal hate crimes law. (Under current federal law, hate crimes are acts of violence against people based on race, religion, color, or national original.)

Election time cannot come soon enough.
