GOA Alert: If your congressman has NOT cosigned the Stockman-Broun letter, contact him or her immediately

This is what I added to the letter when I sent to my Congressman...


No excuses. It is clear as a bell the reason these measures are even being considered is not in any way intended to make people safer... do you make people safer by rendering them defenseless? We aren't stupid, we know this is nothing more than an organized "nudge". We hear Ms. Feinstien declare all vets to be mentally ill. We see vets being targeted already. We know the only way Obama can observe the UN Small Arms Treaty is to disarm us whatever it takes and as quickly as he can. We know that we already have gun registration. We know that criminals almost NEVER use registered weapons and we know that doctors kill more people than people with guns ever do. We know this type of measure would have and will have zero impact on mass shootings and we know for sure, THIS IS ALL ABOUT MORE CONTROL OVER US BY AN OUT OF CONTROL, TREASONOUS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ADMINISTRATION.

We also know that by the time it gets out of committee and actually comes up for a vote it will be swollen to bursting with pork barrel spending. America is sick to death of having her representatives bought by special interests and it is time to clean house!

ENOUGH! YOU KNOW VERY WELL THE PEOPLE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS AT LEAST ANY WHO STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO REASON DESPITE THE MEDIA AND PUBLIC FOOL SYSTEM INDOCTRINATION and those are the people who are NOT going to comply. Those are the people who will not allow the UN to dictate to them. This is THE most dangerous issue in the history of our country and all who shrink from the responsibility of it will be held accountable sooner or later.

To: "TY MIMBS" <tymimbs@att.net> Date: Thursday, April 4, 2013, 9:35 PM Gun Owners of America No More "Mr. Nice Guy" It’s time for Congressmen to get off the pot GOA has been issuing multiple alerts recently because of the imminent danger that is facing us - as the Senate will soon be taking up gun control legislation. Much of the focus has been on the Senate. But if anyone thinks that the House – and specifically Speaker John Boehner – is our fail-safe to killing gun control in the Congress, they had better think again. Speaking on Meet the Press on March 10, Speaker Boehner said that he has "made clear if the Senate acts on gun control legislation, the House will consider it." Quite simply, that means that House Speaker John Boehner will allow the House to consider votes on gun control legislation. Not only that, in an article entitled "House GOP Leaders: We can pass gun control, immigration, without Republican support," Breitbart.com reported that on issues like guns, Speaker Boehner was open to "taking rogue Republicans across the aisle to work with Democrats." The House leadership quickly backtracked from this position once the Breitbart article was published. Regardless, this just underscores how we can't forget about the House, and how we need to keep the pressure on congressmen – especially the Republicans. Sadly, at a time when the House leadership announces that they support universal gun registry legislation – only to quickly backtrack – we get nothing but excuses, excuses, excuses about why many GOP congressmen have not signed onto the Stockman-Broun letter. Representatives Steve Stockman (R-TX) and Paul Broun (R-GA) are doing a bang-up job in the House. They are two of the most active leaders working to defeat gun control in Congress. And to that end, the Stockman-Broun letter uses precedent to call upon Speaker Boehner to reject all gun control legislation unless it has the support of 117 Republicans. This is called the "Hastert Rule." And, if Boehner follows it, virtually no gun control can come to the floor of the House. Virtually none. So far, more than 25 pro-gun Representatives have signed onto the Stockman-Broun letter - and they should be thanked. But there should be lots more. It's very frustrating, however, when we have asked pro-gun Congressmen to sign onto the Stockman-Broun letter to tell Speaker Boehner NOT to bring up gun control, but we hear all kinds of excuses as to why they can't. Here are the types of excuses that GOA is getting as to why congressmen won't sign onto the letter, and our answers to their lame excuses: EXCUSE #1: One office said it had signed other gun control letters. ANSWER: There's no quota on your support for the Second Amendment. EXCUSE #2: Another office said they were afraid of Boehner’s wrath. ANSWER: You may want to consider your constituents’ wrath instead. EXCUSE #3: A third office said that gun control was never coming to the House. ANSWER: Are you going to do nothing until the anvil actually falls on your head? Boehner has publicly stated that Senate-passed gun control would be "considered" by the House. EXCUSE #4: A fourth office said the congressman had promised to be bipartisan. ANSWER: Obama's ruthless pursuit of his political goals, at the same time he mouthed words of "bipartisanship" is the reason why he controls the White House and you don't. EXCUSE #5: A few offices have said they fear this letter is challenging Boehner's authority. ANSWER: The Stockman-Broun letter does nothing of the sort. It simply asks the Speaker to follow a rule that was established by a former Republican Speaker of the House. No sanctions are stated or implied – it is only a request asking the Speaker to use the Hastert Rule to kill gun control.

ACTION: If your congressman has NOT cosigned the Stockman-Broun letter, then please contact him or her immediately. You may click here to send them a prewritten email. Demand that your Representative sign the letter invoking the Hastert Rule to kill gun control in the House.
