Hawkins for family values
(Gainesville) Tom Graves this week cast one of only three votes against stopping the sale of so-called “crush videos”- pornographic productions involving animal cruelty and mutilation for the purpose of sexual perversion.
Graves voted “no” to the Prevention of Interstate Commerce in Animal Crush Videos Act of 2010, which would stop sales of “video depictions of drowning, impaling, burning and crushing of animals.”
Republican Lee Hawkins said he is amazed that Graves would decline to side with an overwhelming majority of his colleagues and support decency and family values to end the shocking, pornographic sales.
“There are more reasons to make a stand against this type of practice than there are to ever allow it to continue,” Hawkins said. “I believe the people of North Georgia would loudly voice their support for banning pornographic videos showing animals being trampled to death.”
Hawkins said that if he were in Congress, his name would have appeared in the “yes” column in passing the proposed House legislation.
“There is a very small and disturbing market in this country for these perverse videos, and the right thing to do is end access to these materials,” Hawkins added. “I support this effort to bring closure to the ‘crush video’ genre once and for all.”
Hawkins name will appear on Republican ballots during the Congressional runoff election on Aug. 10. He is the only candidate to receive an “A+” rating from the Christian Coalition.

There is a group on Facebook dedicated to stopping these “crush videos.” After the vote in Congress, some of the members of this group went to Graves Facebook page and asked him to please explain the reasons behind his “no” vote. These posts were quickly deleted and those people were blocked from his page. As a representative of the people, do the people not have the right to ask for an explanation regarding his votes on public legislation? It seems that Graves is for torture videos, but against our principle of free speech.
For the interests of national security, please SUPPORT HR 5566 (originally HR 5092) by introducing/co-sponsoring a Senate bill (which has passed the House of Representatives) to be introduced soon by Senators Richard Burr (R-NC), Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR): Crush kitten/crush puppy videos are corrupting America including our young giving rise to new legions of serial killers, psychopaths, and National terrorists. American Psychiatric Association names animal cruelty as a criteria for conduct and Personality disorders.
I have a national Petition asking the Federal Government to PLEASE pass anti-crush kitten/crush puppy legislation. You may access it here. Please sign and share. By doing so it automatically emails your Federal Representatives and the Obama Administration who officially supports this bill.

Anybody is for torturing animals especially as a means of obtaining sexual orgasm – is sick in the head in my humble opinion. For the love of God PLEASE do not put someone in office who thinks animal torture videos is okay fine.
