    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!

    Victory over Gun Control for the Tea Party and Obama: It's been a Shameful Day in Washington DC

    Posted by Darla Dawald, National Director on April 17, 2013 at 10:41pm in Patriot Action Alerts

    By Darla Dawald

    Today has been a victorious day in Washington DC as one by one 7 Gun Bills were defeated in the Senate. As I stated in another post, 2 additional votes on the 8th and 9th proposed bills will occur tomorrow morning, Thursday the 18th of April. meanwhile Obama is seething, Biden is practically in tears, and Senator Feinstein is mad and baffled.

    Father of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victim, Mark Barden (L) hugs Vice President Biden after introducing President Obama to make a statement on gun violence in the Rose Garden of the White House.

    Today after the 7 bills were defeated, I listened to some of the Newtown families and the victims surrounding the Gabby Gifford tragedy speaking about how upset they are over the defeats, I can't help but feel sadness for them. For these families, the success of the proposed gun bills were really important for their healing process...or so they believe. I get it, my brother committed suicide in August of 2011 and there's a part of me that needed someone or something to blame. Here's the message they haven't yet accepted...There's nothing that any of us can do that will ever bring back those murdered in heinous killings. As much as I feel for these families and have suffered with the loss of my own brother, I cannot in good faith stand with them on gun control.

    I know for a fact that the gun my brother used to end his life did not jump into the air on its own and fire a shot at him. I also know that as mentally disturbed as he was, he would find a gun (he stole my other brothers gun) or another method to carry out his intended plan. I'm certainly not placing my deceased brother in the same category of the murderers that go on these killing sprees, what 'm saying is that any mentally unstable person will find a way to carry out their plan, whether it's self inflicted or intended for others.

    As we've seen in the past few weeks, murderers will murder using whatever means available. In Texas there was a mass stabbing incident, and in Boston, pressure cooker bombs designed to kill and maim were used. Another sick individual sent letters to Obama and a Republican Congressman laced with Ricin poison. Killers kill.

    The gun bills in the Senate were designed to begin a process to change, alter, and destroy our Second Amendment Rights. Obama and his ilk have used children, victims, and families of victims to attempt to carry out his intended plan to destroy the rights we have all enjoyed and were granted by our creator. This Marxist regime will not stop here. They won't let it go and move on to other issues, they will continue to use anyone and anything in their path to further their agenda.

    I've seen numerous comments today on forums that say the Tea Party is fizzling out. Today's success is a perfect example that the Tea Party is alive and well. We're working when and where it matters and doing our part through calls, emails, faxes, petitions, and visiting our elected officials offices to make an impact. When that doesn't, work we work to boot them out and replace them. I credit the victory today to the Tea Party and all Constitution Loving Patriots out there!

    I know it will be easy for many of you to relax and to think 'hey we got this' but I say "Not so soon." Today we had victory but there are 2 Gun Bills left to be voted on tomorrow. Time is of the essence and we cannot stop now. Let's make those calls, send those Faxes, email your 2 Senators, and sign those petitions. Let's contact our friends and family again and ask them to do the same! The next battle after this one is Immigration. We have many battles ahead and we must work together to accomplish all that we can to preserve our freedoms.

    I'm counting on you to act just as you're counting on me! We're united by our passion for America and our quest to preserve all that our Founders and former freedom fighters intended. We are the freedom fighters of our time and many depend upon us to stand in the face of adversity (our enemies) and do our part.

    I'm standing, I'm fighting, I'm proud, I'm still free and intend to keep it that way!

    Darla Dawald, National Director

    ALERT: U.S. Senate to consider nine amendments to the Reid gun-control bill!

    Take Action and Blast Faxes demanding that Congress opposes ALL FORMS of gun-control: as legislation or as amendments to legislation!


    Conservative American,

    The gun-grabbers are losing.

    Of the nine amendments to S. 649 we told you about yesterday, seven came to a vote and each one was rejected.

    While on the surface some of the amendments seemed benign – consider the Cornyn and Burr amendments – the fact that all failed is exactly what we wanted; our original goal remains unchanged: lawmakers must kill the entire bill, not pass a "nice" version.

    It is true that the bill's worst amendments are dead: the Toomey-Manchin Amendment #715 (background checks) failed 54-46; the Leahy Amendment #713 (trafficking) failed 58-42; the Feinstein Amendment #711 (assault weapons ban) failed narrowly 40-60; and the Lautenberg Amendment #714 (high capacity clips) failed 46-54.

    While we celebrate yesterday's victory, the battle is not yet over. When the Senate adjourns at 9:30 this morning two additional amendments will take a vote and Senators must know that we are still watching their every move.

    The amendments up for grabs today will be the Barrasso Amendment and the Harkin-Alexander amendment; the latter dealing with mental-health checks. Both of which must receive the same treatment as the first seven: defeat.

    The Feinstein Ban yesterday was broken by a single vote. This just goes to show how close this battle is, and how hard we have to press. The good news is, though, is that our efforts are working and causing the political animals in Washington to move our direction!

    We must continue to press our elected servants to defend our Second Amendment at all costs!

    Take Action and Blast Faxes demanding that Congress opposes ALL FORMS of gun-control: as legislation or as amendments to legislation!

    It is of the utmost importance that we continue to mobilize against all gun-control, as its proponents have by no means given up.

    Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday that "this issue is not going away ... we are not giving up," suggesting that he and his fellow gun-grabbers will keep pushing to ram through their Big Government agenda, despite yesterday's votes.

    Sen. Manchin of West Virginia – co-author of the mandate for universal background checks – echoed Harry Reid when he said yesterday that "this is not over."

    Harry Reid said last week – before this bill or any of its amendments even hit the floor – that, should the gun-grabbers efforts fail as S. 649, he will offer every single one of its provisions as independent bills!

    We have every reason to believe that the anti-gunners will continue to fight for their bad "gun safety measures" in spite of their recent clear defeat.

    We must continue to demand lawmakers to stand against gun-control by taking action and blasting faxes, sending letters, and making phone calls!

    After months of talk, the Senate is now actually deciding what will or will not be included in Harry Reid's "Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act" and it is our job to make sure that we are doing all that we can to send this bill down in flames.

    Obama and the gun-grabbers know exactly what they want and are willing to go to any length to get it. In order to win, we must be even more tenacious in our defense of the Second Amendment!

    Will you make your voice heard? Take action ....

    Blast Faxes to U.S. House and Senate members demanding that they oppose any and all forms of gun-control legislation or amendments to legislation!
