"Kennedy Sneak Attack: Tries To Add Gay Rider To Another Bill"


After a failed attempt at passing "hate crimes" legislation, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., is trying to attach an amendment favored by homosexual-rights activists to another bill, an activist group warns.
Kennedy sought to pass the controversial legislation – adding "sexual orientation" to the hate-crimes law – through the "Child Safety Act," but this time the vehicle is "The Streamlined Procedures Act of 2005," which deals with federal criminal procedures, says Concerned Women for America.

The group says: "Mr. Kennedy may have gotten the word that many people have been warning the Senate not to add his amendment to the Senate version of 'The Child Safety Act,' so he appears to be trying to slip it in under the radar."
