The Fighting 29th

All about New York's 29th Congressional District

This afternoon, Randy Kuhl voted for H R 1592, an anti-Hate Crime bill which he cosponsored. The White House has vowed to veto this bill on the grounds that the bill federalizes and duplicates existing state and local laws. There's also a subtext: some far-right groups oppose this bill on the grounds that it adds homosexuals to the list of those who might be the victims of hate crimes. Kuhl was one of only 25 Republicans to vote for the bill.
