CAPITOL HILL UPDATE

This week, the U.S. Senate killed efforts to pass campaign finance "reform" legislation. These attacks on the First Amendment, which could greatly restrict NRA's ability to communicate with its members regarding the Second Amendment views of candidates seeking office, appear to be dead for the year.

      There have not been any developments on the juvenile justice reform legislation (see FAX Alert Vol. 6, No. 40), but debate on this issue will continue, as will procedural and political grandstanding from anti-gun lawmakers.

      It is critical that you continue to call the conference committee members considering the juvenile justice legislation, as well as both your U.S. Senators and your U.S. Representative, to ensure that no anti-gun language is included in the conference committee's final "compromise" legislation.

      You can call your two Senators at (202) 224-3121 and your Representative at (202) 225-3121. For contact information on conference committee members, call ILA Grassroots at (800) 392-8683.
