Residents of one Utah neighborhood are fighting back after hate literature appeared on their lawns this weekend.
The flyers make thinly veiled attacks on Jews, undocumented Mexican workers, and others.
The group that distributed the flyers, the National Alliance, says that they are a political and educational organization. But residents here say that kind of education is not needed.
"Unbelievable," said Anna, a Douglas neighborhood resident, "I can't believe that someone would take the time to do something like this."
Yesterday the neighborhood made their views clear, declaring the area a hate free zone.
The group got some help from Legislator David Litvack, who campaigned unsuccessfully this year for tougher hate crime laws in the state.
Litvack said, "We need to let people know that hatred is not a part of who we are."
If you would like to officially make your neighborhood a hate free zone contact the group distributing them by click on the link above, or calling the phone number listed.
