So said U.S. Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass.) following
the recent House defeat of a package of gun control amendments
that he supported, most notably dealing with gun shows.
Unfortunately, in the coming days and weeks, the gun grabbers
will re-double their efforts to pass more restrictions on our
rights, using every parliamentary, backdoor maneuver in their gun
control play book. It is therefore critical that we once again
prove Rep. Frank correct.
From August 7 - September 7, Congress
is scheduled to take its August recess. During this time, your
Senators and Representatives will be back home in their
respective states and districts. Many lawmakers use this time to
hold town hall meetings, where they can report on what they've
been doing in Washington, and take questions from, and address
the concerns of, their constituents. These meetings offer a
tremendous opportunity for you to personally voice your
opposition to any additional legislation that further erodes our
freedoms.
Please contact your lawmakers' district offices and
ask when they plan to hold their town hall meetings during the
August recess. The phone number should be in the blue pages of
your phone book. Then, in addition to attending and speaking out
against additional gun control proposals, please forward the
dates, times, and locations of any town hall meetings to the
NRA-ILA Grassroots Division, so we may compile this information
and share it with your fellow NRA members and pro-gun supporters.
Please forward this information to the Grassroots Division using
the contact information listed above, or by sending an E-mail to
ila-contact@nrahq.org.
