Filibuster

Just got an e-mail alert from Gun Owners of America (www.gunowners.org) that said the drive to eliminate one of the best legislative tools Second Amendment supporters have is losing steam. That doesn't mean the filibuster is safe just yet. There are still some of our elected officials that would like to see it done away with. Don't forget it was the threat of a filibuster that prevented a semi-auto ban from being added on to the Department of Defense Authorization bill. The threat of a filibuster could also be used to stop any efforts to add gun control amendments onto the gun makers protection act at some time in the near future.

At this time Gun Owners of America is asking all Second Amendment supporters (gun owners) to contact their Senators and urge them to oppose the "nuclear option" and leave the Senate filibuster rules intact. Gun Owners of America has provided you with a way to send your Senators a pre written message by going to, http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm . Please take the time to send your message today.

God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
