Advocate: Attorney General Nom Praised by HRC

FROM THE ADVOCATE:

The Human Rights Campaign issued a statement Monday supporting President-elect Barack Obama's nomination of Eric H. Holder Jr. to take the post of Attorney General.

“In Eric Holder, President-elect Obama has chosen an attorney general who has demonstrated his dedication to civil rights, protecting communities from hate violence, and the fair and equal application of our laws,” said Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese. “Eric Holder has recognized the deleterious effect that hate and bias crimes have not just on victims, but on entire communities. President-elect Obama’s appointment continues to prove his commitment to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community.”

The statement included included Holder's 1999 testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee in which he advocated for strengthening hate crimes protections.
