Another Bush Cabinet Nominee
Faces Attack By Gore Supporters

Gale Norton |
Last week, we told you about the attacks by gun-ban extremists on
President-elect George W. Bush's nominee for Attorney General,
former U.S. Senator John Ashcroft (R-Mo.). Now, Gale Norton,
Bush's nominee for Secretary of the Interior, faces similar
attacks.
Throughout her career that includes two terms as
Colorado's Attorney General, Norton has supported the interests
of hunters and law-abiding firearm owners, and now is the time to
come to her aid. She is under heavy fire by radical
"environmentalist" groups - which have launched a series of attack
ads in major media centers and in states where they feel senators
are undecided on Norton - as well as other groups not known for
being involved with environmental issues, such as the NAACP and
the AFL-CIO.
What does unite these groups is that most of them
did everything they could last year to defeat President-elect
Bush on November 7. Many look at the campaign to oppose Gale
Norton's confirmation by the U.S. Senate as nothing more than
another attack on Bush by supporters of Al Gore. Norton's
nomination hearing before the Senate began Thursday, and a vote
by the Senate will come in the near future.
It is critical that you call, write, fax, and e-mail your U.S.
Senators today, both in their D.C., and closest local offices,
and urge them to support and vote for confirmation of Gale Norton
as Secretary of the Interior. You can find contact information
for your U.S. Senators by using the "Write Your Reps" tool at
www.NRAILA.org, or by calling the NRA-ILA Grassroots Division at
800-392-8683.
In addition, please keep up the pressure on your U.S. Senators
and urge them to support and vote for confirmation of John
Ashcroft as U.S. Attorney General.
