Senate Action on Gun Bills this Week - NRA NOTICE

The U.S. Senate is set to act on anti-gun legislation as early as this week. These proposals are the latest attempt by anti-gun Senators to erode our Second Amendment rights by making it illegal for law-abiding gun owners to transfer firearms without the federal government’s approval; and by banning commonly owned semi-automatic rifles and magazines, to name a few. Unfortunately, none of these proposals address the critical issues of fixing our broken mental health system; securing our schools; or prosecuting violent criminals.

However, there is a proposal worthy of gun owners' support. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Mark Begich (D-AK) have introduced S. 480, the "NICS Reporting Improvement Act of 2013", which will provide accurate definitions of persons who pose serious threats to themselves or others and therefore should be prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms, while protecting the rights of those who should not be included in NICS. Further, this legislation will protect the rights of America's veterans, by no longer allowing their Second Amendment freedoms to be denied based on an administrative finding that a person requires appointment of a representative to mange his financial affairs.

The NRA fully supports Senators Graham and Begich's important legislation.

The time is now. Please contact your U.S. Senators today, let them know you are a NRA member and encourage them to support S. 480 and to oppose all anti-gun legislation.

You can contact your U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121.

GREETINGS PATRIOTS

Welcome to the hundreds of new people from all across Connecticut who have signed on to this newsletter in the past week. Sometimes we will be a prism of information; sometimes a laser beam finely focused on one issue or event.

 

Last night in Southington Jim Vicevich delivered a hopeful and heartening message to the full house. Jim is ALL IN with us.

Connecticut Senate Minority Leader, John McKinney, will host a town hall meeting Monday night in Danbury and another in Westbrook on Tuesday. These are great opportunities to hear about the Governor's proposed budget. But I'm sure another issue will be discussed.

7-8:30 PM

 

With Dan Carter, Richard Smith (no relation) and Mike McLachlan.

 

Tuesday

The gun control dust up has awakened tens of thousands of formerly politically dormant Nutmeggers. Many people are surely riled-up but are unsure of what to do or where to go for help. If you know some, tell them about CCDL. http://www.ccdl.us/ Tell them about the Ct Restoration Coalition as a conduit for finding answers. http://ct-rc.org/

 

A slew of people have already announced their intentions of challenging incumbent legislators in 2014. We’re forming committees of volunteers in each of the 36 state senate districts. You can become part of this process,. You can find candidates, recruit them and help all along the way. And the vetting will be your job.

 

So if you haven’t yet replied to our request to identify your state senator please help us complete the lists. Several are in excess of 30 already. Our goal is to acquire at least 50 volunteers in each district. These grass roots congregations will then either bypass or affirm the establishment candidates. Strength is in numbers. If you’re tired of playing 2nd fiddle to the usual way of doing things, you have an opportunity and a duty to do better.

 

Our goal is noble. We work to flip the General Assembly. Replace the liberals from both parties with decent conservatives chosen from WE THE PEOPLE. We saw many of our future candidates at the hearings last month.

 

2013 is a municipal election year. Seriously consider stepping up to run in your local races. Planning and Zoning, Boards of Ed. and Finance, etc. That’s the place to start. We’ve been observers too long. We MUST be participants! There is no alternative.

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds. (Samuel Adams)
