STOP THE GUN GRAB
SAVE THE HOUR
ON TUESDAY (TOMORROW)
If the Senate passes S. 649 on Tuesday
(tomorrow), it will effectively trample our Second Amendment rights. There are
two short videos that provide chilling testimony to just how critical this
legislation is. Please take (less than) four minutes to watch these two videos,
as they will give you some important talking points.
Sarah Merkle, a 15-year old, testified eloquently
on why these proposed gun control measures would do NOTHING to prevent another
tragedy such as Newtown.
Manuel Martinez, a legal immigrant from Cuba,
testified in Oregon on the danger of losing our Second Amendment rights, as they did in Cuba; video and transcript here (but
watch the video if you can).
On Tuesday (tomorrow), some Tea Party Patriot
groups across the country will be visiting offices of their senators or
demonstrating outside their offices at noon. In northern Ohio, we
thought we might be more effective adding our voices by telephone, fax, and
email to those being organized by the NRA. So mark your calendar for Tuesday
(tomorrow), at least from noon to 1pm. Whether you are able to phone or fax
or e-mail, we think this is every bit as cataclysmic as Obamacare. This is gun
control legislation that actually has some chance of passage in the Senate,
thanks to promise-breakers like Marco Rubio and Pat Toomey. But won't the House
stop it? Not with squishes like Speaker Boehner.
From HotAir:
"House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) signaled Thursday that he may
continue to bypass a House Republican rule [i.e. the "Hastert Rule"]
that has required any legislation being voted upon to have the support of a
majority of the GOP conference. He said at a news conference Thursday that he
will continue to try and follow it in spirit, but also suggested he might well
violate it for upcoming votes on guns, immigration and the budget."
The goal of gun control is to expand and
protect the government. One of the three core Tea Party Patriot values is
"Constitutionally limited government." Gun control violates our
Second Amendment rights and protects, not the law-abiding citizen, but the
out-of-control government. So it IS time to push some sort of panic button.
We are urging every single one of you to plan
to take time out of your day on Tuesday, Apr-16 to call Sen. Rob Portman, Sen.
Marco Rubio, and Speaker Boehner. (There is no point calling Sen. Sherrod
Brown, and Sen. Pat Toomey is a co-sponsor of this bill.) If
you are at the office, take 15 minutes on your lunch break and call from the
hallway or the sidewalk. Keep this message on your screen as you call or print
out for talking points. If you are faxing or emailing, cut-copy-and-paste any
part of this message into an email that makes the point(s) you think should be
made.
S. 649 (the Gun Control bill) is as crippling to our
freedom -- and our future -- as is Obamacare. And as you can see in the link for
Boehner, Immigration "Reform" is right around the corner. Obamacare,
Gun Control, and Immigration "Reform" - these three strike at the
heart of our freedom and our survival as a Constitutional republic. We are at a
crossroads, so this is calling all Tea Party Patriots and anyone you can
persuade to call, fax, or write:
Sen. Rob Portman
Cleveland Phone: 216-522-7095
Columbus Fax: (614) 469-7733
Sen. Marco Rubio
DC Phone: 202-224-3041
DC FAX: 202-228-0285
Speaker John Boehner
Ohio PH 513-779-5400
DC Fax 202-225-0704
