The legislative branch of our supposedly democratic government passes laws
for citizens to follow. Congress passed hate-crime laws to protect those that
hate the most, that's how 9-11 happened. Citizens then petition the government
to follow the laws they pass and then call citizens insensitive or racists.
The majority of Americans want illegal immigration to be addressed, troops on
the borders and all those benefits to end. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Citizens in California voted to end property owners paying for illegals in
the school system. One federal judge ruled the voting process
unconstitutional, those that complained were called racists or insensitive.
All across America foreclosures are setting records on homeowners. Americans
call for an end to foreign aid to the Nation of Israel and Palestinians, etc.
and political leaders call those opposed to that process anti-Semite. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Certain groups in America can voice every word in the English language,
civil leaders can speak of violence, hate-crime speech, and those in authority
remain silent. The alleged snipers in the DC area (one in America illegally)
murdered citizens from all walks of life, race and gender and are not charged
with a hate crime. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The first amendment of the Constitution allows freedom of speech, press
religion, right to assemble, petition the government, the second amendment
allows citizens the right to bear arms. The government now wants to silence
the voice of law-abiding citizens because it violates the law itself. Hillary
Clinton on national television stated it was a right wing conspiracy that was
pursuing her husband's malfeasance of duty. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Allowing individuals from other countries to bypass the legal immigration
avenue is illegal, but if it means cheap votes, cheap labor at the risk of
American safety, it's OK. Those organizations, individuals, or political
leaders that ban law-abiding Americans from voicing their opinions or
protecting their families from snipers, should be charged with a hate crime. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Whatever happened to the protection of every American under the
Constitution of the United States, regardless of race, gender, or religion? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

When Government Won't Follow Its Own Laws, That's A Crime Against Us All
