Thanks, philman. I just sent an email to Wayne LaPierre with the direct quote from the Constitution and a link to “Desert Treaty Ratified in Dead of Night”.

I asked him to please contact someone we can trust in the Senate (I suggested DeMint who is on the Foreign Relations Committee) to be sure we have someone always there to call for a quorum when/if this thing is set up to be snuck through. (Is there any “if” about it?)

I figured going through the NRA was safer than an email to a senator from a non-constituent that depends on a staffer to pass on. At least all staff at NRA should be motivated to preserve their jobs along with our guns.

Thanks, Sal. The key to any treaty, IMO, is when it does finally come out of Committee so DeMint's help would be great. Once a treaty comes out of Committee then there can be no lapses whatsoever in vigilance.
You notice how long the LOST Treaty has stayed in Committee?

Law of the Sea Treaty: Need 3 More Repubs to Vote Against
The Examiner reports that Senator Harry Reid may not bring up LOST for vote until after the November elections, in a lame-duck session, so as not to commit DemoRats to an unpopular vote FOR the treaty.

Keeping that treaty topical in the public eye has largely prevented it from moving forward as well. You can't sneak it through when it has a spotlight on it. And look at the BS manner of the Dems and what they'll probably end up doing. A lame-duck session! Stab America in the back by voting for it and then run away like a coward.

Stay vigilant, never stop learning, never give up and never give in.
