« Vote on HR 1592 (hate crimes bill) is TODAY! |Main | Grandma is in hospital »
Yippee! You can disregard that last post, I guess. HR 1592, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007 passed the House, 237 to 180. (Hmm, I need to find out how Phil English voted.)
Even though I only forwarded a few emails to the list, and made 3 phone calls to Rep. English's office, I am feeling very good about this. Score one for justice and equality! Now, on to the Senate!

According to the House Roll Call database, English voted for the bill.
Congratulations!
Unfortunately, my own Representative, Walter B. Jones, Jr voted against it.
