Now, Moore is chairman of the Foundation for Moral Law -- which represents individuals involved in religious liberty cases, and holds seminars about the Godly heritage of America. Moore says Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the true liberal agenda, and the attempts by governmental authorities to play thought police. "Five years ago, people did not understand what the true issue was," he explains. "I think more and more people are coming to the realizations that ... government [is] attempting to control your mind, control what you think." According to Moore, a good example of this "thought control" is a proposed hate crimes law in Pennsylvania, which would punish people for what they think.
