As A Rabidly Anti-gun Executive Takes His Oath Of Office...
There is some good news for gun owners

"I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear...."

As our new President takes his oath of office today, the war against our rights is soon to begin.  In fact, it has already begun, as Obama's choice for Attorney General (Eric Holder) is one of the most anti-gun picks that he could have made.

As we mentioned in last week's alert, Holder supported policies -- during his tenure in the Clinton administration -- that were aimed at driving the nation's gun dealers and manufacturers out of business.  As part of an Obama administration, he will have even more power to continue his war against gun owners.

At lot has happened since you received our alert last week.  GOA was asked by the Judiciary Committee to testify at the Senate hearings on Eric Holder, as we were the ONLY national gun group that has told Senators we will rate their vote on confirming Holder.

We also "hammered" one of the Republican members of the Judiciary Committee -- Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah -- in his home state after he announced his support of the Holder nomination.

Last week, GOA issued a stinging alert and mobilized its members in the state of Utah after The Hill reported on January 12 that Hatch "will support Eric Holder's nomination for attorney general, giving him a major boost toward confirmation."

GOA is never timid about putting the heat on faltering legislators, no matter what their party affiliation.  Strangely, GOA was disinvited from appearing before the Judiciary Committee, and not allowed to present testimony.

Well, the Committee might try to squelch our voice, but they cannot squelch yours.  Your Senators have to answer to you -- and they need to hear that an Attorney General who just argued (in the DC v. Heller case) that there is no individual right to keep and bear arms does NOT deserve to be confirmed.

Please take the recommended action suggested below, even if you have already contacted your Senators.  This is just too important.

And now for some good news... Bush commutes the sentences of Ramos and Compean!

You might remember that, last month, GOA and its members issued a strong plea to President Bush, urging him to pardon Ignacio Ramos and Jose Antonio Compean -- two Border Patrol agents who were sentenced to ten years in prison in 2007 for shooting a smuggler.  Their conviction was fraudulent, as there is no such crime as "using a gun in a federal crime."

Because this precedent could greatly impact all gun owners, GOA got involved in this case and submitted amicus briefs in the courts.  If the feds can prosecute its own agents on trumped up charges for "using" a gun in a crime, then why not also a mom or dad who is driving their kids through a gun free school zone while armed?

Well, good news arrived yesterday when President Bush -- as one of his last acts in office -- listened to GOA members and commuted the two agents' sentences!  We wish a full pardon had been granted, erasing their felony conviction, but at least they will be home soon with their families.

ACTION:  Please use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send your Senators the pre-written e-mail message below.


----- Prewritten Letter -----

Dear Senator:

I urge you to vote AGAINST Eric Holder for U.S. Attorney General.

Holder has been a long-time gun control activist.  Most recently, he joined 12 other former Justice Department officials in SUPPORTING the DC gun ban and arguing the Second Amendment does NOT protect an individual right.

Thankfully, the Supreme Court ruled against Holder in the DC v. Heller case.  But this is a man who will try any means to enforce gun control.

Remember his attempts -- as an official in the Clinton Administration -- to make an end-run around Congress and use the courts (through litigation) to impose gun control?  He strongly approved of the HUD lawsuits against the gun industry, where through a system of extortion, HUD only promised to drop the lawsuits if gun makers would impose certain gun restrictions.

Eric Holder is tremendously out of step with the American people.  In February, 2008, a USA Today/Gallup poll reported that 73% of all Americans support the INDIVIDUAL right to keep and bear arms.  Eric Holder is in the extreme minority.  Please don't vote to put him into a position where he will be able to use the force of government to discourage gun ownership in America.

Please vote NO on Eric Holder for Attorney General.

Sincerely,


****************************

What's Your Current GOA Status?

Obviously, we now face years of invigorated attacks on our gun rights.  Shutting down gun shows, prohibitions on specific calibers, another semi-auto ban, and the anti-gun extremists' Holy Grail of mandatory federal licensing and registration of all gun owners -- these are just some of the horrors that we already know we'll have to defeat head-on.

It can't be done without every single voice being counted. That's why we are asking you to consider making the commitment of becoming a Gun Owners of America Life Member. By doing so, you put the politicians on notice that neither you nor GOA is going away -- that no matter who's in the White House, there is always going to be a solid wall of resistance.

Now is a perfect time to come a Life Member. In addition to providing GOA an infusion of much-needed funds, you can take advantage of a free firearms inventory software promotion.

And if you aren't a GOA member at all, isn't it time you became one? Or maybe you are a current member and can't commit to Life at this time, but could spare another small additional donation. In those instances, the free software also applies... because GOA is doing all it can at this time to line up the troops for the battles that surely must be fought.

Please go to http://www.gunowners.org/ordercs.htm to upgrade your participation in GOA.

  Blog: Alert: We Don't Want War with IRAN - Contact Your Representative!  
StarsButterflies Carol C. (13)

We Don't Want War with Iran

"I apologize if someone has already mentioned this. Here is the text from Downsizer Dispatch:

Subject: Stop Congress from fomenting another war

We rarely send you action items on Saturday. We're doing so today because the House appears likely to vote on a bad resolution early next week. If you oppose starting a war with Iran then we must act now to oppose House Concurrent Resolution 362.

This resolution has 169 co-sponsors, including 77 Democrats and 92 Republicans. The resolution calls on President Bush to . . .

*Create an international blockade of Iran to prevent it from importing the refined gasoline it needs to run its economy
*Subject all cargo entering or leaving Iran to stringent inspections
*Tighten economic sanctions against Iran
*Violate international treaties by prohibiting Iranian officials not involved in negotiating the suspension of Iran's nuclear program from travelling abroad.

If another country took such actions against us, we would consider it an act of war. In addition, passage of this resolution would end negotiations with Iran in Baghdad that the administration has recently signaled it was prepared to resume.

House Concurrent Resolution 362 is a major step toward war. It would reduce the opportunity for a negotiated settlement with Iran, and even worse, President Bush could take this resolution as a sign that he has Congressional support to attack Iran before he leaves office.

Here is a list of the current co-sponsors
Rep Alexander, Rodney [LA-5] - 6/11/2008
Rep Allen, Thomas H. [ME-1] - 6/11/2008

Rep Bilirakis, Gus M. [FL-9] - 6/10/2008
Rep Bishop, Rob [UT-1] - 6/17/2008
Rep Blackburn, Marsha [TN-7] - 6/4/2008
Rep Bonner, Jo [AL-1] - 6/10/2008
Rep Boren, Dan [OK-2] - 6/10/2008
Rep Boyd, Allen [FL-2] - 6/17/2008

Rep Brown, Corrine [FL-3] - 6/4/2008
Rep Brown-Waite, Ginny [FL-5] - 6/10/2008
Rep Burgess, Michael C. [TX-26] - 6/4/2008

Rep Chabot, Steve [OH-1] - 6/4/2008
Rep Clay, Wm. Lacy [MO-1] - 6/17/2008
Rep Cleaver, Emanuel [MO-5] - 6/5/2008

Rep Cuellar, Henry [TX-28] - 6/5/2008
Rep Culberson, John Abney [TX-7] - 6/12/2008...

Spread the word that Americans don't want another war. Sanctions don't work (just ask Cuba and Iraq).

There is another Senate Resolution in the pipeline with 26 co-sponsors, so this needs to be nipped in the bud..."

  Blog: We have a legal right to have our voices heard !  

"I didn't want to post here but it is needed"
 Dr. Steve Parent

Source: dailypaul.com

"After over 1000 emails i needed to post this.

With Dr. Paul suspending his campaign this changes nothing to what our focus is.


I am not going to go into the differences of suspension vs withdraw although i encourage all of you to educate yourselves on this issue; however we can still attempt to elect Ron Paul at the national convention.


Many of you are new to politics and how the system works and I have spoken to over 15,000 of you that I know of in the last 6 months and I am proud of each and every one of you for getting off your couch and getting involved because all of you are the real heros of this revolution.


My point is this changes nothing and we MUST continue to move forward and finish the delagated process and go to the National Convention in September and make sure our numbers and voices are heard.


To the masses I have addressed via telephone I have tried to educate you on how the system works and encouraged all of you to get involved in your local political systems and you did and I applaud all of you for stepping up and fighting to get the job done.


The revolution has not ended for it has only beginning and we MUST move forward to make the positive changes that MUST be made in this country and with all of your help this can be achieved and I can not stress the fact of how you must all become educated on your local political systems and Roberts Rules Of Order for this is one of the most powerful tools you have to utilize to be effective in your party.


Dr. Paul has said himself that this was not about him for it was about the message and he is exactly right and you must continue on with that message and must work and dedicate yourselves if we are to make the changes that need to be made in this country.


I am extremely proud of all of you that stepped up and became involved and GOT THE JOB DONE.

I do not want anyone to look at the things we did not achieve at this point but to focus on the positive things we have done this election year thus far and the things WE WILL achieve in the future.

People like yourselves will help make the difference and make the changes that need to be made SO KEEP YOUR CHIN UP and keep pushing forward for you should all be proud of what you have done and I assure you that I will be there for each and everyone of you that need me in the future.

Just because we have met with extreme resistance does not mean we do not continue to fight for our legal rights to have our vloices be heard and I want all of you to PRESS ON AND MOVE FORWARD.


We will WIN even if we do not nominate Dr. Paul this election year and you must believe me that what all of you have done is amazing and I have never been so proud of a group of people in my life for your courage and dedication that all of you have accomplished thus far in this movement.


www.revolutionbroadcastin...
will continue to promote the message of Dr. Paul long after this election year and you must do the same
 
FOR WE ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WE WILL TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK TO IT'S ROOTS.


GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Dr. Steve Parent"

Poll: What do you think of a General Campaign Pool?  
What do you think of a General Campaign Pool? This would be a pool that all including lobbyist would contribute too. Then these funds would be divided EQUALLY between all the Candidates. This would eliminate the legal bribery we have now and give all the Candidates equal funds. In this way, they would not have to support a cause that they were paid to support. Bribery is illegal!!
