Phone Freep this one! Sarah must not get a chance at this much power.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alert from the Brady Bunch follows:

"ACTION ALERT: CALL YOUR SENATORS TO PROTECT GUN VICTIMS' RIGHTS

Please contact your U.S. Senators on Wednesday, April 6, 2005, and ask them to Oppose S. 397. The Senate could vote on the gun lobby's immunity bill very soon. We need your help!

STEP 1: MAKE YOUR CALLS, Wednesday morning, between 9am and 1pm ET. Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. (Or click here to get your Senators’ direct numbers.)

STEP 2: TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE S. 397.

STEP 3: SPREAD THE WORD: Forward this action alert to your e-address books! S. 397 is dangerous special interest legislation that would take away the legal rights of gun violence victims and give sweeping legal immunity to the gun industry -- immunity that no other industry enjoys.

Last year the National Rifle Association and extremists in the gun lobby urged Congress to pass this bill but thanks to your efforts, this awful legislation was defeated. We can do it again, but we need your help!

Congress must reject this special interest scheme again. The gun industry should be subject to the same legal rules as all other American businesses. And the courthouse doors must remain open to legitimate victims harmed by the dangerous and irresponsible actions of firearm manufacturers and sellers.

Justice for gun victims must be preserved. To make an impressive showing we need everyone to help out. On Wednesday, April 6, please call your U.S. Senators and tell them not to close the courthouse doors on gun violence victims!

STEP 1: MAKE YOUR CALLS On Wednesday, April 6, call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected with your U.S. Senators. (You will have to call twice to get both Senators.) Or click here to get your Senators’ direct numbers.

Call between the hours of 9am and 1pm ET so we can make the greatest impact. For regions other than Eastern Time, that's: Central: 8am - Noon | Mountain: 7am - 11am | Pacific: 6am - 10am

STEP 2: TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE S. 397

STEP 3: SPREAD THE WORD Enlist your family and friends to help on April 6. Please forward this action alert to your e-address books! Thank you for your help in defeating this dangerous legislation."

the legislation was turned down. Who dug it out of the grave? And we have the majority, why are we even allowing a vote on it? They dont allow votes on Judges, we shuld just not hear this legislation and move on the next thing. If they vote this should be shot down, within two shakes of a lambs tail.

Excuse Me, did We want to oppose this? If so, why?
If We begin supporting Sarah Brady's efforts around here, please count Me out.

Protect gun rights... WHY.?.
The second amendment was given to make revolution LEGAL...
Few americans would revolt... a few, but very few..
We need guns for what, exactly...?. Hunting, Target practice.?.

-or- as reminder of what american once was.. an armed people willing and ABLE to revolt.. against a parasitic government.. and entrenched corruption by lawyers.. psuedo-lawyers and Judges which are just lawyers. You cannot be a judge unless you're a lawyer..

I suppose We will not go anywhere with this line of discussion, because I am not ready to be zotted and banned, yet. I don't give a diddly squat about being "able", but, willing is no problem. Once You first hesitate to do battle because You may lose, just kiss Your little hiney goodby, because it is good as lost, anyway.
At the very instant that the Republican Party abandons the Second Amendment, My Friend, I go looking for another home!
I am able to handle homeless just fine, so long as I am Free. It seems to be a reasonable trade.
Betray Me if You will, and at that point I will pray that the enemy advances, just far enough to scare You into reality, if that is even possible.
I am not really a single issue voter, but, here, We draw the line, it is as good a place as any, is it not?
Why I need guns is irrelevant, it is up to You to prove that I never will, and there ain't no way that is gonna come.
Do You know who "Iverglass" is? You sound so similar that I must wonder why the Hell You are here.
Hosepipe, zot away, and expect the same in return. I am old, and ugly, and so often bored that a good fight is the best I can ask for. If You believe You can win without Me, go for it, Grasshopper!

So then, you missed the irony and me aggreeing you in my post..

Irony is NOT what you do to a shirt, Meathead..
I'm old too, but no doubt much better looking than you are..
But then, when I look into a mirror I'm better looking than most people..
Nothing wrong with me except for the vanity thing..

Hell, My Friend, Sean Connery resembled Me, at His glorious best. Now, I hear that His neighbors describe Him as old, and fat, and ugly.
I prefer to be seen as an old,radical, rightwing bastard, refusing to give an inch.
The Republican Party owes at least 90% of all it's gains to My old and ugly Redneck ARSE!
Cut and run on Me,and I will just go away,and inventory My ammo. Are You, any of You, Republican for the same reasons that I am?
