Don't Let Compromisers Trash The Lawsuit Protection Bill!

Gun Owners of America E-Mail Alert

Your immediate action is needed. Anti-gun amendments will be voted
on Thursday morning, July 28!

GOA is very concerned that the Republican Senate leadership is on the
verge of compromising away your Second Amendment rights.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a much-needed bill to
protect the gun industry from being litigated out of existence by
frivolous lawsuits.

That bill, however, has been co-opted by anti-gunners and is being
used to pass gun control proposals such as a measure requiring
mandatory "lock-up-your-safety" trigger locks.

Action in the Senate today made it absolutely clear that those
amendments WILL BE VOTED ON!

GOA has told every Senator that no anti-gun amendments will be
acceptable to gun owners. A vote for S. 397 with any bad amendments
on it will be rated as an anti-gun vote in our famous Candidate
Ratings, to be published prior to the 2006 Congressional elections.

ACTION: Please e-mail AND CALL your two U.S. Senators immediately.
(Phone calls are needed because time is very, very short and staffers
might not get your e-mails to individual Senators before the voting
starts.) Regardless, tell your Senators that a vote for S.397
containing any anti-gun amendments will be rated by GOA as an
anti-gun vote.

The Senate switchboard number is 202-224-3121.

You can visit the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at
http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to easily send your Senators a
pre-written e-mail message identical to the following:


Pre-written message for your Senators

Dear Senator:

I would like to have S. 397 approved by the Senate to protect the gun
industry from frivolous lawsuits designed to bankrupt firearms
companies. But no anti-gun amendments are acceptable. Please do not
vote for ANY anti-gun amendments.

Further, I bring to your attention that a vote for passage of S.397,
should it contain even a SINGLE anti-gun amendment, will be rated by
Gun Owners of America as an anti-gun vote.

Thank you very much.

    I received the "phone tree" phone call today.
    WATCH OUT for any anti-gun attachments.

    Let your reps know to pass it CLEAN, or NOT AT ALL.

    Pushing it through (no matter what they attach) like the NRA is trying to do now, and then worrying about cleaning it up later, is how we GOT the assault weapons ban of "94" It didn't get cleaned up later. Surprised???

    DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT AGAIN!!!

    The gene pool needs chlorine.
