NOTE:
Dear Patriots,
With 2 Remaining Bills on the Table and the votes not happening till tomorrow there is sufficient time for the left to apply more pressure. As a matter of fact the left is already crying the blues and placing blame on the terrible Republican Senators. We need to continue encouraging our elected officials to do the right thing on these following 2 bills:
8. Barrasso amendment #717 (privacy); and
9. Harkin amendment (mental health).
These Senators need to hear from grassroots patriots like you who want their Second Amendment rights protected and preserved!
Go here now to schedule your faxes for immediate delivery prior to these important votes.
+ + Call Your Senators!
After scheduling your faxes, contact your two Senators and tell them to vote "NO" on Sen. Harry Reid's restrictive gun legislation. Here's the contact information you need:
http://www.congressmerge.com/onlinedb/index.htm
Finally, with the little time that remains, alert your friends and family. Urge them to help "Save the 2nd" by going here now to sign Grassfire's "I Support the Second Amendment" petition:
http://www.grassfire.com/978/petition.asp?Ref_ID=600064
Let's Remind them that America has spoken and we do not want any new amendments or changes to our Gun Rights!
Go here now to schedule your faxes for immediate delivery prior to these important votes.
