HATE CRIMES LEGISLATION
Received the following on Tuesday from Keith Smith:

These are the Conference Committee members for our bill.  We need as many phone calls, emails, or personal visits as possible into their offices in the next few days.  People from their districts would be great,  but lots of calls from all over the state.
Ask them to please sign out conference committee report for SB 823 which has Hate Crimes language in it.
