&lt;P&gt;1.when you all vote to exempt yourselves from the insurance you are forcing on us&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2.when you use="Bernie Madoff accounting" for double counting&lt;BR&gt;the savings from Medicare as a means to pay for the Senate health care bill&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3.all of the other stuff thats pulled in the name of the American people&lt;BR&gt;I believe we should Yell one of 2 things:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1.impeachment&lt;BR&gt;Impeachment is a formal process in which an elected official is accused of&lt;BR&gt;unlawful activity, and which may or may not lead to the removal of that official&lt;BR&gt;from office.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. recall-we know that fedral officials are not subject but lets make it a voter recall &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;in 2010 and 2012 and vote them out.....show them who the real boss&lt;BR&gt;is........... &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;recall election (also called a recall referendum or representative recall) is&lt;BR&gt;a procedure by which voters can remove an elected official from office through a&lt;BR&gt;direct vote (plebiscite), initiated when sufficient voters sign a petition.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;H1&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;call on this now and put a stop to it!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/H1&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040&lt;BR&gt;federal tax &lt;BR&gt;form all guns that you have or own. It may require fingerprints&lt;BR&gt;and a &lt;BR&gt;tax of $50 per gun. (if it is later found that you had guns&lt;BR&gt;that you &lt;BR&gt;declined to declare and or pay the tax on you could be charged&lt;BR&gt;with a &lt;BR&gt;felony)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The bill was introduced on Feb. 24th and will become public&lt;BR&gt;knowledge 30&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;days after it is voted into law.. This is an amendment to the&lt;BR&gt;Internal &lt;BR&gt;Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee can&lt;BR&gt;pass this&lt;BR&gt;without the Senate voting on it at all..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The full text of the proposed amendment is on the U.S. Senate&lt;BR&gt;homepage&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can find it by doing a search by the bill number, SB-2099. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://ron.dotson.net/guns/sb2099.htm"&gt;http://ron.dotson.net/guns/sb2099.htm&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You know who to call; I strongly suggest you do. Please help&lt;BR&gt;STOP this bill !!!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------&lt;BR&gt;The things you should vote no on and preserve your American rights..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You will soon loose them the way we are going, don`t just blindly &lt;BR&gt;believe what a politician tells you research the truth for yourself then &lt;BR&gt;decide, or are you just to lazy to do that?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Socialism is not what this county was founded on, it is not what the &lt;BR&gt;founding fathers had in mind.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You should tell your Gov. you do not want CAP and Trade, you do not &lt;BR&gt;want Gov. run Health Care, you do not want Gun control, you do not &lt;BR&gt;want your rights eroded. by the Democrats any longer. They don't care&lt;BR&gt;what we want-its what they want. In todays society if your still voting a &lt;BR&gt;straight ticket your crazy,no one party has all the answers. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Don't act like a sheep and follow blindly with the misguided thinking&lt;BR&gt;that all the news you hear is the truth, don't let them alter you vote with &lt;BR&gt;twisted truths. Pretty soon some moron who thinks there agenda is the &lt;BR&gt;best will tell us ,we were responsible for the dinosaurs being extinct........&lt;BR&gt;The real danger is those folks who shift their opinion like blowing dirt &lt;BR&gt;and do believe everything that the liberal press or politics say to them. &lt;BR&gt;Jefferson said the power of the press belongs to those who own it..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you don`t want Acorn running the next census and knowing 23 pages &lt;BR&gt;of your life then go here: SIGN THE PETITION: Stop ACORN from&lt;BR&gt;Accessing Taxpayer Dollars-http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/TaxDollars/&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Are you tired of some of the democrats and republicans raming bill down &lt;BR&gt;your throat and the don`t even read them? get mad and stop them beofe its&lt;BR&gt;to late, just tell them to stop and do what the people want not what they want &lt;BR&gt;without even asking.......................&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Energy and Gas Prices-We must do short term drilling while&lt;BR&gt;we fix the alternative energy for the long term....they knew 30 &lt;BR&gt;years ago this needed to be done-it was talked about...................&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Congress must open up domestic supplies of energy to&lt;BR&gt;exploration if we are to reduce your pain at the pump. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;From reserves in the mountain West to ANWR to the outer-continental&lt;BR&gt;shelf, we have untapped resources that can increase energy supply &lt;BR&gt;and reduce prices,and kepp our money at home, And, constantly&lt;BR&gt;improving technology gives us the ability to explore while preserving &lt;BR&gt;our natural heritage for generations.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And, we must never stop exploring alternative energy. France gets &lt;BR&gt;80% of its energy from clean, safe nuclear energy.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P &gt;Come on America speak up-you have sat back to long and just &lt;BR&gt;let the government do what they want,you can still make a change...........&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Obama’s Plan Would Repeal Medicare &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Obama’s Phony War on Terror &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Cap-and-Trade Bill Would Cripple Economy &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Healthcare Reformers Defeat the Purpose &lt;BR&gt;the choices would eventually go away,and then there would only be one choice&lt;BR&gt;because it is the cheapest-not necessairly the best-it is &lt;BR&gt;government control we don't need&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P &gt;a few of the democrats want to force their views on us and do&lt;BR&gt;not want to do what we the people want&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;they need to stop trying to prosecute the past and come back &lt;BR&gt;to the present and devote there energy to this &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;How can they vote on something they haven't read?????????&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;we need to vote them out!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/P&gt;

President Obama, who &lt;BR&gt;nominated Judge Sotomayor, has a rather limited view of what the Second &lt;BR&gt;Amendment guarantees." -- Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), June 2009&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Monday, July 13, 2009&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Today, the U.S. Senate commences hearings on Justice Sonia Sotomayor, &lt;BR&gt;who was nominated by President Obama to replace the retiring Judge &lt;BR&gt;David Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In many ways, Sotomayor's views are out-of-step with our American &lt;BR&gt;heritage and with the views of Americans in general.&amp;nbsp; For example, &lt;BR&gt;Sotomayor believes that our fundamental law is constantly evolving and &lt;BR&gt;that rights are constantly changing with the times.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;But should we be surprised?&amp;nbsp; The President who nominated her holds some &lt;BR&gt;of the most radical views ever held by a resident of the White House.&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;His take on the Constitution -- and the Second Amendment in particular &lt;BR&gt;-- has stationed him to the far left on the political spectrum.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Consider just a small snapshot of his record over the years:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;* As President, Obama has nationalized much of the car and banking &lt;BR&gt;industry and is now looking to do the same with health care.&amp;nbsp; Even the &lt;BR&gt;Marxist President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, joked on live television &lt;BR&gt;last month that he and Fidel Castro need to be careful or else "we &lt;BR&gt;are going to end up to [Obama's] right."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;* As a U.S. Senator, Obama was ranked by the National Journal in 2007 &lt;BR&gt;as the most liberal legislator in that chamber.&amp;nbsp; Realize that such a &lt;BR&gt;ranking put Obama to the left of 99 other Senators -- including an &lt;BR&gt;open, self-avowed socialist, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;* Like many socialists, Obama has supported some of the most extreme &lt;BR&gt;positions on gun control:&amp;nbsp; supporting a ban on handguns, opposing the &lt;BR&gt;repeal of the draconian DC gun ban, opposing the right of self-defense &lt;BR&gt;for residents in the Chicago suburbs, and much more.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Obama's brand of far-left politics sees the Constitution as moldable as &lt;BR&gt;a ball of wax.&amp;nbsp; In a 2001 interview, he criticized earlier Supreme &lt;BR&gt;Courts for "never ventur[ing] into the issues of redistribution of &lt;BR&gt;wealth....&amp;nbsp; It didn't break free from the essential constraints that &lt;BR&gt;were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sotomayor appears to have the same view of our highest document, as she &lt;BR&gt;stated in 1996 that law is not "static and predictable," but &lt;BR&gt;"constantly overhaul[ed] and adapt[ed] [by lawyers and courts] to &lt;BR&gt;the realities of ever-changing social, industrial and political &lt;BR&gt;conditions."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;ACTION:&amp;nbsp; Please urge your two Senators to vote AGAINST the Sotomayor &lt;BR&gt;nomination.&amp;nbsp; Tell them to cast a pro-gun vote on EVERY vote related to &lt;BR&gt;Judge Sonia Sotomayor (whether it's a vote on sustaining a filibuster &lt;BR&gt;or a vote on final passage).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Please use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A id=usa-link href="http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm" target=_blank&gt;http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm&lt;/A&gt; to send your legislators the &lt;BR&gt;pre-written e-mail message below.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;----- Pre-written letter -----&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Dear Senator:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Judge Sonia Sotomayor's views are out-of-step with our American &lt;BR&gt;heritage and with the views of Americans in general.&amp;nbsp; Not surprisingly, &lt;BR&gt;the Rasmussen polling firm reported on July 1 that more Americans &lt;BR&gt;oppose her nomination than support her.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sotomayor believes that our fundamental law is constantly evolving and &lt;BR&gt;that rights are constantly changing with the times.&amp;nbsp; But a majority of &lt;BR&gt;Americans disagree.&amp;nbsp; Multiple polls have found that almost &lt;BR&gt;three-fourths of all Americans believe that the Second Amendment of the &lt;BR&gt;U.S. Constitution protects the rights of "individuals" to own &lt;BR&gt;guns.&amp;nbsp; Not so for Judge Sotomayor:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;* She ruled in United States v. Sanchez-Villar (2004) that "the &lt;BR&gt;right to possess a gun is clearly not a fundamental right."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;* And earlier this year, Sotomayor was part of a three-judge panel &lt;BR&gt;which ruled in Maloney v. Cuomo that the Second Amendment does not &lt;BR&gt;apply to the states.&amp;nbsp; This makes her more liberal than the Ninth &lt;BR&gt;Circuit, which stated in the Nordyke case in April that the Second &lt;BR&gt;Amendment does apply to the states.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Please cast a pro-gun vote on EVERY vote related to Judge Sonia &lt;BR&gt;Sotomayor (whether it's a vote on sustaining a filibuster or a vote on &lt;BR&gt;final passage).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I would like to hear back from you on this.&amp;nbsp; Although rest assured, Gun &lt;BR&gt;Owners of America will keep me up to date on any further developments.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sincerely,&lt;BR&gt;</description><comments>http://thegunblog.com/2009/07/14/please-urge-your-two-senators-to-vote-against-the-sotomayor-nomination.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">4b93a909-2091-435e-93df-8a3ff5b9d02a</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2009 02:02:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Step One of their plan to repeal the 2nd Amendment.</title><link>http://thegunblog.com/2009/03/14/step-one-of-their-plan-to-repeal-the-2nd-amendment.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>freewebb</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;The Obama Administration has revealed its intention to&lt;BR&gt;reinstate the so-called "assault" gun ban -- Step One of&lt;BR&gt;their plan to repeal the 2nd Amendment.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Having already taken advantage of our country's current&lt;BR&gt;economic woes to speed the largest, most pork-laden&lt;BR&gt;spending spree in history through the Democrat-controlled&lt;BR&gt;Congress, the Obama team is again using fear tactics to&lt;BR&gt;impose bad policy.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Attorney General Eric Holder announced his desire to once&lt;BR&gt;again deny law abiding Americans their 2nd Amendment rights&lt;BR&gt;, using the ongoing violence in Mexico as justification.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Holder blames the legal availability of semi-automatic&lt;BR&gt;rifles in the United States -- and their subsequent misuse&lt;BR&gt;by foreigners committing crimes outside our borders -- on&lt;BR&gt;our right to own these firearms. The Obama administration's&lt;BR&gt;top law enforcement official then added that a new gun ban&lt;BR&gt;"will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the individual's right to&lt;BR&gt;firearm ownership just last year -- but now the Obama&lt;BR&gt;Administration is again after our guns.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We cannot allow the rights of American citizens to be&lt;BR&gt;denied because of the misdeeds of foreigners outside the&lt;BR&gt;United States.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The mainstream media are clearly revealing their biased&lt;BR&gt;support of infringing our right to buy and own firearms. In&lt;BR&gt;an ABC News piece about Holder's gun ban announcement, a&lt;BR&gt;recent State Department travel advisory is referenced which&lt;BR&gt;warns visitors to Mexico of gun battles between government&lt;BR&gt;troops and "cartels employing automatic weapons and&lt;BR&gt;grenades."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;American gun owners know that the "assault" gun ban has&lt;BR&gt;nothing to do with these fully-automatic machine guns and&lt;BR&gt;explosives, which are already unavailable to the general&lt;BR&gt;public.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is clear that the Obama Democrats are looking for any&lt;BR&gt;excuse to once again threaten our freedoms. Their&lt;BR&gt;nanny-state, Big Brother mentality has no place in our&lt;BR&gt;Constitutional Republic. Don`t be fooled we are not the&lt;BR&gt;only country that the bad boys can get automatic weapons&lt;BR&gt;from. I`ll bet most are ak47`s not m16`s&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://thegunblog.com/2009/03/14/step-one-of-their-plan-to-repeal-the-2nd-amendment.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">fff5585c-ec01-42bc-9b8e-1720bd54a528</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Mar 2009 15:30:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Because Barack Obama's campaign promise not to take away our guns is a lie</title><link>http://thegunblog.com/2008/12/07/because-barack-obamas-campaign-promise-not-to-take-away-our-guns-is-a-lie-2.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>freewebb</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;**** Alert *** Alert *** Alert ****&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; DEAR GUN OWNER&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Because Barack Obama's campaign promise&lt;BR&gt;not to take away our guns is a lie.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He's not even in office, yet he's fired the opening salvos in a war &lt;BR&gt;against the future of the Second Amendment, our hunting and shooting traditions, and YOU.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;Obama's FIRST attack on YOU &lt;/STRONG&gt;: Appointing Illinois Congressman &lt;BR&gt;Rahm Emanuel to be White House Chief of Staff. In Congress, Emanuel &lt;BR&gt;earned an "F" rating from NRA, and while working in the Clinton Administration, &lt;BR&gt;he was known as the "point man on gun control." He is an avowed enemy of the &lt;BR&gt;Second Amendment and will wield enormous power in the battle for the future of our firearm freedoms.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;Obama's SECOND attack on YOU&lt;/STRONG&gt; : If Hillary Clinton is confirmed as Secretary of State,&lt;BR&gt;she'll rip the Second Amendment right out of the Bill of Rights. She'll be our nation's top &lt;BR&gt;diplomat with the power to determine whether the United Nations will pass, &lt;BR&gt;and Obama will sign, a global gun ban treaty that will surrender our Second &lt;BR&gt;Amendment rights and our national sovereignty.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;Obama's THIRD attack on YOU&lt;/STRONG&gt; : Nominating ex-Senator and former Majority &lt;BR&gt;Leader Tom Daschle-an avowed enemy of NRA-to be Secretary of Health and&lt;BR&gt;Human Services. NRA was responsible for defeating Daschle when he ran in &lt;BR&gt;South Dakota for re-election to the Senate. If Daschle is confirmed, he could &lt;BR&gt;hold the ultimate power to declare guns a "public health menace" and regulate &lt;BR&gt;away our essential liberties.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;Obama's FOURTH attack on YOU &lt;/STRONG&gt;: Nominating Eric Holder to be Attorney &lt;BR&gt;General. As former Assistant Attorney General, Holder was a key architect and &lt;BR&gt;vocal advocate for the Clinton era's sweeping gun ban agenda. He supported &lt;BR&gt;national handgun licensing, mandatory trigger locks, and ending gun shows as we know them.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Just recently, Holder opposed the District of Columbia's Heller decision &lt;BR&gt;that declared the Second Amendment an individual right. Holder also called for&lt;BR&gt;reviving the Clinton gun bans and, as Attorney General, would fight in court to &lt;BR&gt;prevent the landmark Heller decision from being made applicable to state and local governments.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Worst of all, if Holder is confirmed as the nation's top law-enforcement &lt;BR&gt;officer, he would control BATFE and wield enormous power to harass gun &lt;BR&gt;owners and sue America's arms makers out of existence.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;Obama's FIFTH attack on YOU &lt;/STRONG&gt;: In the job application for the Obama &lt;BR&gt;Administration, he made it clear that gun owners are second-class citizens&lt;BR&gt;and told 80 million gun owners not to even bother applying for a job. In the &lt;BR&gt;"White House Personnel Data Questionnaire" he asked:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This chilling notice to gun owners-that they are not welcome to serve in&lt;BR&gt;his Administration-shows the deep hostility for Americans' Second Amendment &lt;BR&gt;Freedoms that Obama and his Administration have in their hearts.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; On its face, that question endorses gun registration-a mandate in only five &lt;BR&gt;states in our nation-and buys into the anti-gun premise that firearms are inherently &lt;BR&gt;dangerous and gun owners are prone to misusing them.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; That's an outrageous mindset, especially for the President-elect whose &lt;BR&gt;sworn duty will be to uphold the U.S. Constitution, including our right to keep and bear arms.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Obama CLEARLY wants to make gun registration the law of the land.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; First for employees under his control...AND THEN FOR YOU.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Working with a Congress dominated by gun haters like Nancy Pelosi,&lt;BR&gt;Dianne Feinstein, John Conyers, Henry Waxman, and Charles Schumer!!!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Rubbing salt in gun owner wounds is the Brady Campaign, which &lt;BR&gt;just issued a completely bogus poll claiming that two-thirds of the Americans-i&lt;BR&gt;ncluding 60% of all gun owners-favor gun registration, licensing of firearm &lt;BR&gt;owners, and other sweeping restrictions on our firearm freedoms!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Add it all up and you have the potential&lt;BR&gt;for a Second Amendment disaster that's unlike&lt;BR&gt;any other NRA members have ever battled.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; That's why we need the strongest possible commitment from EVERY &lt;BR&gt;NRA member, starting today. That's why I'm hoping you'll validate your new &lt;BR&gt;NRA membership card the moment you receive it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Because our greatest strength is you.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Only by working with you can NRA hold the line against these threats&lt;BR&gt;from every quarter. We are the one force that has the strength to keep &lt;BR&gt;Americans free and our rights intact for future generations. With you at our &lt;BR&gt;side, we will fight and we will prevail against all odds.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Thank you for your loyalty to NRA and the cause of Freedom.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Dear Friend,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The challenges America faces may appear overwhelming. But you and I both know that if we adhere to the founding principles of individual liberty, federalism, and truly limited government, there is no obstacle the American people cannot overcome.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But the forces driving our country away from those First Principles are strong. They demand an ever-increasing growth in government, higher and higher taxes, and a judiciary that makes law and social policy instead of sticking to the wisdom of the Constitution.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It’s clear that we need men and women in Washington and in the statehouses across America who believe, as we do, in the fundamental principles of limited government restricted by enumerated powers.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That is why I an announcing the formation of Fred PAC, a political action committee dedicated to helping elect candidates who stand for the principles you and I hold dear – principles that are the only sure salvation for America.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please visit our website at &lt;A href="http://https://www.fredpac.com/contribute.aspx?RefererID=2cd59bf5-d651-42ac-8b07-9ea5dd05a3dc" target=_blank&gt;www.FredPAC.com&lt;/A&gt;. Learn how you can help. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Your support and assistance has meant a great deal to me and my family as we defended America ’s First Principles. I know that in the days ahead we will continue in the fight for a strong, free, secure America … together. &lt;/P&gt;

Trust me,one of the reasons in the&lt;BR&gt;past that we never got attacked directly is because of&lt;BR&gt;private gun ownership. Countries that have gun control&lt;BR&gt;still have high crime.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the last century totalitarian regimes such as Soviet&lt;BR&gt;Union and Nazi Germany successfully confiscated firearms&lt;BR&gt;from their citizens in order to force them to submit more&lt;BR&gt;easily.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The second amendment ensures that Americans have the&lt;BR&gt;ability to secure their rights and defend them from&lt;BR&gt;government suppression if necessary. It is that right that&lt;BR&gt;a government of the people by the people and for the people&lt;BR&gt;must never extinguish.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When someone stands on a stage, in a stadium, surrounded by&lt;BR&gt;people giving a speech and he's the only one on this stage,&lt;BR&gt;does that remind you of someone in 1930s Germany doing the&lt;BR&gt;same thing with the cheering crowd. Is this the part of the&lt;BR&gt;new world order that the Democrats are moving towards….&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I used to like the Democratic Party, they were the party of&lt;BR&gt;the people but now they are leaning towards things they&lt;BR&gt;shouldn't, they are becoming socialistic, just as the&lt;BR&gt;party's did in early Europe, before those countries were&lt;BR&gt;taken over.We fought wars against socialism, it is not the&lt;BR&gt;American way.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Someone once said Congress is brain-dead, well they have&lt;BR&gt;been brain-dead for years, they're supposed to represent&lt;BR&gt;the American people, but they only represent themselves in&lt;BR&gt;their own self-interest while the American people are&lt;BR&gt;losing their jobs, they vote themselves raises, give&lt;BR&gt;themselves early retirement after one term, this is not why&lt;BR&gt;we elected them to office.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;They've known from me years they need to do something about&lt;BR&gt;greenhouse gases, the environment, alternative energy, but&lt;BR&gt;in the past have only paid lip service to these issues...&lt;BR&gt;so here we sit 20 years later and nothing has been done.&lt;BR&gt;But they attack items like the 2nd amendment and try to&lt;BR&gt;change it,(this take our mind off of the things that are&lt;BR&gt;really important) that they can`t do anything about,like&lt;BR&gt;jobs,homes,food,etc…………….&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It takes more than a new president to get issues corrected,&lt;BR&gt;without Congress who are always in power, and still nothing&lt;BR&gt;is ever done about the important issues,year after year.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Maybe we should vote them out and start over.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;While I don't always agree with the Republican choice, it&lt;BR&gt;is far better to vote for them, than to vote for Democrats&lt;BR&gt;and socialism and the changes it will bring, let me get&lt;BR&gt;this straight, race has nothing to do with it, it is what&lt;BR&gt;that party believes in, they think they know better than&lt;BR&gt;the people what's good for them, and they want to tell us&lt;BR&gt;how to run our lives.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To get my vote back, they need to become the party of the&lt;BR&gt;people again, and leave things like gun ownership alone and&lt;BR&gt;get on with the really important issues.&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://thegunblog.com/2008/08/29/democrats-and-socialism.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">ef6279dc-08bc-4ead-a5d3-fcb843ef9242</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:46:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>ANTI-GUNNERS DON CAMO FOR ELECTIONS  2008</title><link>http://thegunblog.com/2008/01/29/antigunners-don-camo-for-elections--2008.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>freewebb</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;ANTI-GUNNERS DON CAMO FOR ELECTIONS 2008 &lt;BR&gt;ANTI-GUNNERS DON CAMO FOR ELECTIONS&amp;nbsp; 2008&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Seeking to pick up the baton dropped by the ham-fisted Americans for Gun &lt;BR&gt;Safety, the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA) has arrived &lt;BR&gt;on the scene to become the latest front group for the anti-gun movement &lt;BR&gt;in America.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Our tireless efforts and resulting victories at the ballot box have made &lt;BR&gt;it clear that openly campaigning against the Second Amendment is a &lt;BR&gt;political loser. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The anti-gun groups have undertaken a concerted effort to mask their &lt;BR&gt;long-term agenda, but only as a mark of pure, calculating political expedience.&lt;BR&gt;It surprised no one when Handgun Control, Inc., decided to change its &lt;BR&gt;name to the decidedly vague "Brady Campaign."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;But the effort to paint the anti-gun agenda with the comfortable warmth &lt;BR&gt;of "gun safety" rhetoric moved from tactical to strategic with the &lt;BR&gt;formation of Americans for Gun Safety (AGS) in July 2000.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Funded solely by New York City dot-com billionaire Andrew McKelvey— &lt;BR&gt;previously a member of the Handgun Control, Inc., board.....&lt;BR&gt;the democratic and republican canidates must be made to answer one &lt;BR&gt;question "do they support the 2nd amendment? and the right to bear Arms"&lt;BR&gt;everyone thinks courting the younger generation vote is the way to go &lt;BR&gt;but they forget how strong our vote is.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Which ever one says yes to the 2nd amendment in no uncertain terms can &lt;BR&gt;probably garner more than 40 million votes, but so far all canidates are &lt;BR&gt;being extrmely quite on this issue,makes you wonder what their hidden agenda is?&lt;BR&gt;Candidates who championed gun control in contested races were nearly &lt;BR&gt;non-existent. but this was to be expected,if they don`t talk about &lt;BR&gt;it-you won`t know they are against you.................&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://thegunblog.com/2008/01/29/antigunners-don-camo-for-elections--2008.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">1231604a-5fad-4062-80ff-7c692879c437</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jan 2008 02:17:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>You must ASK the canidates</title><link>http://thegunblog.com/2007/12/17/you-must-ask-the-canidates.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>freewebb</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;Even while we are busy defending our Second&lt;BR&gt;Amendment rights against efforts to enhance the&lt;BR&gt;Brady Law, there is a movement afoot to restrict&lt;BR&gt;our First Amendment rights as well... a movement&lt;BR&gt;that can make the defense of our liberties that&lt;BR&gt;much harder.&lt;BR&gt;You may have heard of this effort as the "Hush&lt;BR&gt;Rush" bill or, just simply, as the Fairness&lt;BR&gt;Doctrine.
