We have strayed a little off-topic for this thread, but since I also feel strongly about the Hate Crimes Act, I'll chip in.
Though it wasn't intended for congress, Several of our mambers did chip in to draft a response letter to an East Texas TV station regarding this bill a couple of months ago. You might find some useful verbiage there: see: "Local CBS Affiliate Angry about Hate Crime Bill" -

We should all also watch the HRC video & sign their petition at:

Finally, the most effective way to contact Senate members, aside from a personal conversation, is by means of letter -- and PFLAG has made this a simple task. You can find their "Hate Crimes Act Letter Wizard" here:
