This is a profoundly significant development in our ongoing efforts to expose the dangerous and dishonest activities of the SPLC.

RESOLUTION REFUTING THE LEGITIMACY OF THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER TO IDENTIFY HATE GROUPS

WHEREAS, The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a far-left organization with an obvious bias;

WHEREAS, The SPLC makes a practice of incorrectly labeling persons and organizations as “hate groups”;

WHEREAS, The actions of the SPLC have served to mobilize persons to act in hate and violence towards those on its “hate group” list;

WHEREAS, The Family Research Council suffered a violent attack due to its support of the traditional family, which the SPLC has deemed as hateful;

WHEREAS, The Obama Administration legitimized the SPLC and acted upon their request that the federal government formally identify individuals and organizations as “hate groups;”;

WHEREAS, The SPLC was further legitimized when the Obama-Biden Administration gave them the ability to provide input to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); and

WHEREAS, Legitimizing the SPLC puts conservative groups or voices at risk of attack; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the SPLC is a radical organization, and that the federal government should not view this organization as a legitimate foundation equipped to provide actionable information to DHS or any other government agency.
