editDavid’s Law was introduced by Ms. Jackson-Lee of Texas on January 7, 2009. It’s main purpous is to enhance Federal enforcement of hate crimes. The bill states that existing Federal law was inadequite to adress violence motivated by race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or disability of the victim. It calls for the revision of Section 245 of title 18 of the United states code as well as the addition of a subsection outlining the punishment for anyone found guilty of a hate crime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hathornt (talk • contribs) 10:32, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Who was David Ray?
editPlease would someone explain the name of the act? I just came across it while sorting out a David Ray (disambiguation) page, but can't see a likely candidate there. It just piqued my curiosity! PamD (talk) 11:41, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
