Harry Reid.

It seems there's nothing he won't do to expand government power and trample on the Constitution - including breaking his word to Rand Paul and theAmerican people.

But if you and your fellow Campaign for Liberty members take a stand today,C4L can send a strong message to Reid and his fellow statists that no amount of parliamentary tricks will end our opposition to their statist agenda.

Please, contact Sen. Harry Reid at (202) 224-3542 and Sen. Dean Heller at (202) 224-6244 rightaway.
Urge them to reject Reid's tricks and demand he abide by his promise to theAmerican people to allow full debate and an open amendment process.

Last February, Harry Reidpromised Senator Rand Paul (and the American people when his comments were deliberately inserted into the congressional record) that he would allow atleast a week of debate and an open amendment process before the final vote to extend the misnamed "Patriot" Act.

Last night, however, Reid pulled the same type of tricks he used to ram through ObamaCare to shut off debate and preventSenator Paul from introducing an amendment to protect law-abiding gun owners from the "Patriot" Act's reach.

And sources on the Hill informed me that he tried earlier today to persuade Rand to allow him to further manipulate the clotureprocess.

After Rand turned down this compromise, he took to the Senate floor to expose the"Patriot" Act for the unconstitutional abuse of power that it is.

Now he needs C4Lto stand with him to protect the Fourth Amendment by sending a loud and clear message to Congress.

My staff and I often hear from those who think it does no good to contact their elected officials. But this is exactly the kind offrustrated response they hope to create in freedom-loving activists. They think that if they ignore you long enough, you'll just go away andleave them free to gain more power.

Fellow patriot, this is exactly the time we must let themknow we will NEVER back down to tyranny - that they will always hear our voices, and that we will always be there to hold them accountable.

Don't get discouraged. Redouble your efforts, fight back, and turn UP the pressure. Let them know you won't play their games any more.

If they realize they can get you to backdown on something as critical as opposing the "Patriot" Act, then they'll be encouraged to continue shredding the Constitution on everyother issue.

Please, contact Sen. Harry Reid at (202) 224-3542 and Sen. Dean Hellerat (202) 224-6244 right away.

Urge them to reject Reid's tricks and demand he abide byhis promise to the American people to allow full debate and an open amendment process.

Andplace a special call to Harry Reid's office at 202-224-3542 to let him know what you think about his latest effort to ram through his statist agenda.

Harry Reid is going to call for a highly unusual cloture vote 1 am Thursday morning, soyour immediate action is desperately needed.

Let your senators know where you standright away!



In Liberty,


John Tate
President

Harry Reid Employs Sleazy Tactics to Block Pro-gun Rand Paul amendment


Wednesday, 25 May 2011 13:31

Remember the corrupt tactics used by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to pass ObamaCare? The secret meetings? The refusal to let the American people see the language?

Well, he’s at it again. This time, Reid is abusing his role as Majority Leader of the Senate to block a pro-gun amendment that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is attempting to add to the so-called Patriot Act.

In order to circumvent Sen. Paul’s efforts to protect gun rights, Reid scuttled the Senate version of the 9/11 extension and instead tacked it onto an unrelated House-passed small business bill. He then employed a procedural scheme to lock out ALL Republican amendments, including Paul’s pro-gun amendment.

As you know, Rand Paul’s amendment would exempt 4473’s (the form all purchasers fill out when they buy a firearm from a licensed dealer) and other gun records from the blanket information demands which Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) can make under the 9/11 legislation.

Without Paul’s exemption, it is possible that the BATFE could go to a secret (FISA) court, and, in a one-party (ex parte) proceeding, obtain an order to produce every 4473 in the country, ostensibly because a “terrorism investigationâ€
