I got this email from South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint a few minutes ago:

Dear Friends -
If you were worried about Democrats in Congress and President-elect Barack Obama trampling your individual rights, you were right to be concerned. Recent news outlets are reporting that President-elect Obama is requiring Administration job applicants to state whether they or members of their family own guns.
Question #59, which appears on the Obama employment questionnaire reads as follows:
"Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage."
Senator DeMint thinks that it is wrong for President-elect Obama to ask job applicants whether they or members of their family own guns. Millions of law-abiding Americans own firearms and they should not be discriminated against. The questionnaire already seeks information about illegal activity so there is no reason to ask this question unless the Obama Administration plans to use it to discriminate based on lawful activity.
To fight this bias against gun owners, Senator DeMint will seek to enact legislation prohibiting this type of discrimination.
Barack Obama promised change and this is proof positive that we are going to see some of the most liberal change in our nation’s history. We cannot sit back and let that happen. Senator DeMint plans to fight everyday on the frontlines so that our voices will still be heard. We hope you will consider joining our team by clicking here.
It’s going to be a tough fight and it’s going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better, but we can weather this storm and bring common-sense back to Washington.
We hope we can count on your support because Senator DeMint can’t do it alone. Just click here.
Sincerely,
DeMint Campaign Team
P.S. – As you know, Senator DeMint has been a strong advocate for the common sense, conservative ideas that South Carolinians support. Ideas like reforming our broken federal spending process, fighting to develop America’s energy resources, and opposing the $700 billion dollar bailout of bad business decisions and failed government housing policy. The good news: his work is not going unnoticed. Today, Roll Call announced that Senator DeMint has been nominated as one of the 5 Most Valuable Players in the Senate .
