This is an email I received from Citizens of America with some numbers to call and thing to to say, to lobby against the new gun ban bill.
News item on Republican House speaker Denny Hastert,
Monday the 19th:
--------------
Hastert remained non-committal regarding whether or
not he would
support a renewal of the ban on normal-capacity
magazines and certain
semi-automatic rifles.
"I need to have some discussions with the president
and leadership before
I make that decision," he said Thursday. "I am
reserving my personal
opinion."
--------------
THANKS, Denny –– GUN OWNERS put Bush and a lot of
other
Republicans in office, and this is how we get repaid.
Make you mad? You CAN do something about it. READ ON
PHONE CALLS are a very important means for politicians
to keep their
finger on our pulse. They figure if you’ll take a few
minutes and spend a
couple of bucks for long-distance calls you’re SERIOUS
about your
message.
No, there’s no way to measure the influence of calls,
but Congressmen
continually tell us this is how they know what issues
to support or not to
support.
We tend to believe them. Remember, their goal is NOT
to protect the
Constitution (except perhaps Ron Paul of Texas) but to
get RE-
ELECTED. Listening to their most active and vocal
constituents is how
they do it.
HERE YOU GO -- JUST DO IT! YOU’LL LIKE YOURSELF
BETTER AFTERWARD.
START WITH
Speaker of the House, Republican Dennis Hastert —
(202) 225-2976
THEN CALL
House Majority Leader, Republican Tom DeLay —
202-225-5951
THEN CALL
Senate Majority Leader, Republican Bill Frist — (202)
224-3344
THEN CALL
The White House — (202) 456-1111
HESITATING? HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CALL:
They say “Hello, Rep X’s office.â€
Tell them you want to leave a comment.
They’ll say “Sure, go ahead.â€
Just something like “If the Clinton gun and magazine
ban is renewed, I
will not support/vote for (Bush, Republican Party,
etc).†No need to get
emotional or speak volumes.
The phone handler on the other end will mark your
comment on their
issues list and say “Thank you,†and you’re done.
It’s easy.
DO IT SO YOUR KIDS CAN ENJOY THE RIGHTS YOU DID.
THANKS FOR TAKING ON A SHARE OF THIS WORK.
