Oregon Grange
U.S. Congressional H.R. 254
Entitled “David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007”

Whereas: Certain types of speech, writing, etc., about race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation and gender, will be considered a hate crime unless the “Thought Police” of the federal Government rules otherwise.

Whereas: House of Representatives bill 254 is unconstitutional because it violates Amendment #1 of the Bill of Rights which states that: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

Whereas: In some foreign countries, where hate crime laws exist, it is a hate crime to preach or to use quotes from the Holy Bible to support free enterprise, property rights, gun rights, to be a skeptic of the global warming theories, and to talk about illegal aliens, etc. The truth of any subject matter is thrown out the window for political correctness.

Whereas: The crime laws throughout the fifty different states of the union, known as States Rights are based on the Ten Commandments. When reviewing the Statue of Lady Justice, you will note she is holding a balance scale and is wearing a blindfold to show that true justice will prevail in our courts of law for the crimes committed such as murder, stealing, kid-napping, etc. The crime isn’t that you hated a person. The real crime is that you took action to kill, to cause bodily injury, etc.

Whereas: If H.R. 254 becomes law, it will pre-empt a lot of our state laws in violation of the 9th Amendment and the 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights which states:

Amendment 9 states: “The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

Amendment 10 states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

These two Amendments make it quite clear that it denies the federal government any control over rights not listed in the U.S. Constitution.

Whereas: When a congressman, president, and judges are elected or appointed to their offices of the United States of America to serve the people, they lay their hand on the Holy Bible and take an oath or affirmation to support the U.S. Constitution and laws made in pursuance thereof and then some of these elected representative turn right around and try to pass laws that overturn the people’s Bill of Rights. These elected or appointed officials who violate their oath of office must be impeached, or a Writ of Mandamus filed in court against all violators of the U.S. Constitution in order to remove them from office.

Whereas: Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the great literary writer of Russia, was expelled from Russia in the year of 1974 for his writings on Freedoms of Life, Liberty & Property. This Nobel Prize-winning author stated that one of the first things the Communists did when they took over the Russian government was to pass hate crime laws that made it a crime to tell the truth about Communism and what the were doing in Russia.

Therefore be it resolved: That the Oregon State Grange, in order to protect our constitutional States Rights, oppose the passage of U.S. Congress H.R. 254 for its violation of the 1st, 9th & 10th Amendments to the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.

This resolution was adopted by the Deer Creek Grange #371 at its regular meeting held on May 14, 2007.

This resolution was adopted by the Oregon State Grange at its 134th Annual Session held at Jefferson, Oregon, week of June 17-22, 2007.
