Rep. Foxx speaks about Mathew Sherpard

North Carolina can't get away from the crazies, first Jess Helms now Virginia Foxx. Representative Fox spoke these words right in front of Matthew Shepard mother yesterday.
Rep. Foxx: "The bill was named after a very unfortunate incident that happened, where a young man was killed, but we know that that young man was killed in the commitment of robbery. It wasn't because he was gay. The bill was named for him, the hate crimes bill was named for him, but it's, it's really a hoax, that that continues to be used as an excuse for passing these bills."
here are the facts While his killers Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson did rob him, they also admitted that they were well aware of his sexual orientation and pretended they were gay to lure him away from the bar he was in at the time. The most striking feature of the case, of course, is that during the course of a normal, simple robbery, the victim is not generally beaten, tied to a post, and left for dead.

This woman does not deserve to part of the congress of the United State. If I was a Republican from North Carolina who voted for her I would furious right now.
I've written my Representative Vern Ehlers and leader of house Joe Boehner asking them to demand her resignation. Please do the same.
