WILL YOU LET THEM RENEW THE BAN ON
NORMAL-CAPACITY MAGAZINES AND THE
RIFLE YOU WANT?
by Brian Puckett
RENEWING THE BAN
Remember the unconstitutional 1994 ban on a random list of semi-
automatic rifles that they (mendaciously) called "assault weapons"
that Bill Clinton and the Democrats pushed through?
It set a terrible precedent - any gun can be added to that list,
including yours. And if a maximum of 10 rounds in a magazine is
good, isn't it better to have a 5-round limit?
This law will automatically expire in September of 2004 - unless
the Republicans in Washington, many of whom we put in office
(including G. W. Bush) - betray both us and their oaths of office
and RENEW the law.
AND THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT DOING IT, RIGHT NOW.
Do you want to help wipe out this law? If so, you'll have to
actually do something -- but it's easy.
WHAT TO DO - RIGHT NOW
All politicians say that feedback from voters determines how they
vote on laws. I believe them. Why? Because it has nothing to do
with your rights, or supporting the Constitution, or doing the right
thing, and everything to do with what all politicians (except for
Ron Paul of Texas) really care about - getting re-elected.
What kind of feedback? Phone calls and regular mail. They figure
if you'll take a few minutes and spend a couple of bucks for long-
distance calls or postage, you're serious about your message - and
you're a serious voter who'll turn up at the polls on election day.
They don't care about your emails, which take a few seconds to
send and show no commitment. They dump them. Likewise, it's
easy to turn off the fax machine, or dump a pile of printed faxes
into the garbage at the end of the day. Who has time to read them?
BUT - they do have paid staffers to take your phone calls, or listen
to recorded calls, or read postcards and short letters and mark
down "for" or "against" on a list of upcoming legislation.
IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE, AND IT'S EASY
Pick up the phone and call one, two, three, or all of these numbers,
in this order:
Speaker of the House, Republican Dennis Hastert -
(202) 225-2976
House Majority Leader, Republican Tom DeLay -
202-225-5951
Senate Majority Leader, Republican Bill Frist -
(202) 224-3344
Or you can try this toll-free number for the House of
Representatives, ask for Hastert, or DeLay, etc, and when
connected leave your comment: 1-800-839-5276
Last: the White House - (202) 456-1111
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CALL?
The phone rings, someone picks it up and says "Representative X's
office." Tell them you want to leave a comment.
They'll say "Sure, go ahead," and either take the message
personally or switch you to their comment line. Tell them "If the
Clinton gun and magazine ban is renewed, I will not (support/vote
for Bush, Republican Party, etc)". Keep it short.
The phone handler on the other end will say "Thank you", and
you're done. I've done it many times and will do it many more.
A PHONE CALL IS BEST
Right now we're not recommending letters or post cards. Why not?
First, the issue is being discussed right now by the Republican
leadership. A phone call gets your message in immediately.
Second, due to the anthrax situation, mail to representatives may
be delayed for several weeks.
If you experience any difficulties, please contact us for assistance. [email protected]
Posters Note: The TOLL FREE phone number for Capitol Switchboard in 1-800- 648-3516. Just tell the ladies which congressional or senate office yiu wish to speak to.
