This was forwarded to me for inclusion in
my chain letter site.
=====================
Please mention this chain letter on your site. It is yet another
well-intended petition asking people to forward the message to
AllRUnique@aol.com after XXX signatures. Of course, that mailbox is full and
bounces. Surprisingly, I can't find "AllRUnique" debunked in a deja.com
message or on the web (except in messages that reproduce the chain letter).
I sent a message to abuse@aol.com asking them to put a bounce message on
that address instead informing people that noone is collecting these
petitions, and that email petitions don't work.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING AND DON'T KILL THIS PETITION. IF YOU AREN'T
SIGNING, FORWARD THIS TO AllRunique@aol.com
IF YOU DON'T FORWARD IT, THE NAMES SIGNED MAY NOT COUNT.
On October 6, outside Laramie, Wyoming, Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old
University of Wyoming student, was tortured, beaten, and left tied to a
pole
in the freezing cold. Six days later, he died of his wounds in Poudre
Valley Hospital, Fort Collins, Colorado. Matthew was murdered because
he
was gay and because he was a prominent and charismatic member of the gay
and
lesbian student group on campus.
Right now Wyoming and Colorado have no anti-hate crime laws; the state
legislature in Wyoming has voted down anti-bias bills for each of the
past three years. There is an effort in Wyoming and Colorado to enact
Matthew Shepard Laws, which would strongly punish the perpetrators of
hate
crimes.
This petition demands the broadening of federal anti-hate crime law.
Opening Statement:
"We state strongly that violence on the basis of sexual orientation,
race or
gender is wrong, is evil, is reprehensible."
John Buehren, President of The Unitarian Universalist speaks for
Unitarian
Universalists, but his words are reflected in the hearts of people
everywhere who believe we must speak out, take action against, and
condemn
hate crimes in all their ugly forms.
A resolution follows:
WHEREAS: We affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every
person.
WHEREAS: We commend the efforts of those individuals who dedicate their
lives to causes of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
That we hereby urge the passage of The Hate Crimes Prevention Act
(HCPA),
H.R.3081 and S.1529. The Hate Crimes Prevention Act (HCPA), H.R.3081 and
S.1529, would amend current federal law(which permits federal
prosecution of
a hate crime only if the crime was motivated by bias based on religion,
national origin, or color) to include real or perceived sexual
orientation,
gender, and disability so the FBI would be able to investigate and
prosecute
violent hate crimes against gays, lesbians, and bisexuals.
Under this bill, hate crimes that cause death or bodily injury because
of
prejudice can be investigated federally, regardless of whether the
victim
was exercising a federally protected right.
The only way that our representatives can be aware of the base of
support
for this change to the current law is by making our voices heard.
Please add your name to this petition and pass it on, to then be
forwarded
to the President of The United States; the Vice President of the United
States; and our United States Senators and House Members.
Petition Management:
