Today, the U.S. House of Representatives opted to pass Representative Childers' D.C. gun ban repeal instead of the anti-gun bill sponsored by Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton -- which would have allowed D.C. to continue enacting gun control.So contact your senators right now, because GOA is asking for this to happen by today.
The bill now goes to the Senate, but unless there is a ton of pressure put on Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), the bill will languish in committee...
Thankfully, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) is spearheading an effort to get a vote on the House-passed bill. She is asking her fellow Senators to cosponsor a letter which she will then deliver to Sen. Reid...
ACTION: Please contact your two Senators and ask them to cosign the Hutchison letter to Senator Reid.

UPDATE:
Some analysts think Reid may also oppose bringing the issue to a vote at this time because it would force Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama to go on the record on a hot button issue weeks before the election.
I'm going to be calling the offices of my Senators, Dick Durbin and Barack Obama.
ReplyDeleteSenator Obama, in particular, has been talking a lot about his strong support for the 2nd Amendment lately, so I'm sure we can count on his support.
So what are we waiting for? Get on the phone now! Grab a pen and scribble a three sentence letter now!
ReplyDeleteLets see the Obamaesiah tele-prompter-speak his way outta this one, after having run the AHSA add for the past few weeks.
Longbow
My two Senators is Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton. I'd have more traction in a mudhole with bald tires during a Mississippi rainstorm than I would with those two assclowns.
ReplyDeleteorangeneckinny,
ReplyDeleteI'm resigned to john "Do you know who I am" kerry and ted"the swimmer" kennedy. I still attempt to talk some sense to them, knowing that it is a futile attempt. I like sending teddy pro RKBA get well wishes via the special get well section on his webpage.
