In preparation for a previously announced hearing on controversial “stand your ground” laws announced after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, Sen. Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., sent letters to more than 300 possible corporate backers of the American Legislative Exchange Council, requesting their position of such policies in states across the country.

The definition of fascism.
Little Dick Durbin has been there way too long. He needs to retire and go home to spend more time with his money.
Durban Idiot, it matters not what Corporations think. It’s none of their affair. This is everything to do with personal freedom and liberty of individual citizens.
Precisely, not that you can get your run of the mill Leftists to understand or admit it.
We live in interesting times.
My home state should probably be nuked from orbit to be sure. It’s unleashed Obama and Durbin on America.
From my cold dead hand, Dickie boy.
What are these retards like Durbin up on Cap Pistol Hill thinking anyway? Do they think that if they get rid of the SYG laws, they can confiscate everyone’s firearms because it will be illegal to defend yourself? I’ve got news for these pixies. Anybody try to do bodily harm or kill anyone in my family, they will have to answer to me. It doesn’t matter to me which tribe they belong to.
I wonder what will be found in HIS shoeboxes...

This is a blatant threat. Agree with me or see some bad legislation aimed at your business. People blame lobbyists for what happens in Washington, but businesses have to have lobbyists to protect themselves. Our crooked politicians use the carrot and the stick to get money from corporations and to be given nice spots on corporate boards when they retire.
It’s a giant con.
Durbin is an embarrassment but he’s a very active embarrassment. My mother lives in suburban Chicago and the Turban is always in the paper as supporting or passing such and such a bill or bringing bacon home or whatever. Unfortunately, he is a total miscreant who probably would have made the Teamsters proud as a lifetime member.
He needs to be retired before he somehow becomes the Senator majority leader - just think about that whiny voice paired with Her Thighness’ voice on the tube every night.
Hopefully they’ll ignore the twit, Durbin.
Yikes! A DemocRAT too! Just like Durbin. I thought DemocRATS went up to Cap Pistol Hill to “help the little people”. It looks to me as though they go there to help themselves.
Not if they want future governmental contracts.
How do you spell... "Extortion"?
Tow the line of the big-government/big-corporate criminal-complex, or bad things will happen to you in Washington.
What criminal act and conspiracy are the recipients of these letters accused? I suppose an opinion contradictory to “conventional wisdom” as defined by progressives and expressed by journalists is now a criminal act when expressed. Lenin’s professional revolutionaries are marching to exterminate the bourgeois. They don’t need no stinking law, they’ll twist the facts to fit the persecution.
“Can’t let the Darkies get uppity and defend themselves. That’ll give them ideas as to their station.” Translation of Dick Durbin’s thinking as a bigshot in the Party of the KKK.
Can’t have the Dem voter hoodlums dying from people defending themselves - mainly conservatives.
According to the MSM and the Dems, defending yourself against a “person of color” trying to bust your head open is racist and is wrong and must be stopped!
Why do you think they want to disarm us?
Not because they fear revolt, but because they fear that their criminal constituents will get shot and killed while engaging in harmless antics like “Knockout King” and “Kill da Cracka”
Durbin very much reminds me of a uncle who wants to invite the kids in to see his “special room”.
The Left knows what needs to be done and does it.
Us? We scatter like cats.
