"All too often religious institutions such as synagogues, mosques & other houses of worship are targets of hate crimes--from vandalism to violent attacks. We must ensure nonprofit organizations have the resources to secure their facilities. My letter to IL religious institutions:"
"Religious institutions & houses of worship should be places where people can safely & freely exercise their constitutionally protected right to worship. This federal program can help protect them & I encourage interested institutions to apply in April: http://www2.illinois.gov/iema/ITTF/Pages/Grants.aspx "
