Who Are These Gun Grabbers And Where Do They Come From?
In my quest to find out who these people are that want OUR guns, basically want to Dis-arm America, I started doing some research. I wanted some information on the sponsor and co-sponsors. I found what I was looking for the first day. I Thought. I went back again for something else. Four days later this is what I've put together. Some of the individuals here make it hard to research them. The most radical, the Baptist, and Jewish are hardest. I could not even access Official web sites on two of them. The others are vague or mostly double speak. The ONLY way to really find out who they are or what they "Represent" is to view their voting records. I saw the voting margins that put/keep these people in office and I was floored. I still cannot believe what I was seeing. I would truly be ashamed if even one of these people conducted business in my name. A concerted effort should be made to get the word out on them and REMOVE them in the next election. IF these Politicians ARE representing their constituents and get some help from like minded Left-wing Liberals from other Urban (More people more rep's) areas, the MAJORITY will in fact be ousted and ruled by the minority. I could have looked for the same information on Immigration, Border Security, Flag Burning, Abortion, Taxes or whatever. I chose H.R. 1022 because someone here once said "Don't trust a Politician that won't trust you with a gun". It started out as an addendum to a previously sent e-mail..
Now it's a book!! Sorry but this is important.
1022 - Gun Control OR Oligarchic Republic? Remember?; A Few States Imposed THEIR Will/Morals Etc.. On the Majority. Hopefully you read that e-mail. Look at the H.R.1022 Sponsor/Co-sponsors, state and party affiliation.
This is JUST ONE EXAMPLE of what I meant!
Only 16 States Are Represented By Sponsorship: CA 8, NY 6, MA 5, AZ 2, FL 2, CO 1, HI 1, IL 1, MD 1, MO 1, NC 1, NJ 1, PA 1, RI 1, TX 1, VA 1. Large urban areas.
Last time I checked there were still 50 states. Have some seceded? Maybe the other 34 don't want any part of this!!! Especially rural America where only 1 Representative speaks for large geographical areas.
Every Representative, 100%, calls the Democratic Party home. For what it's worth, 20 male and 14 Female. How many of them pack or have bodyguards that do? Maybe this flap with Webb and his "Right" to carry is a good thing.
Let us at the same time look at the "Stated" Faith of each since "Democrats" want to make such a big deal of it. Notice the hypocrisy here as you view their profiles I put together below.
13 are Roman Catholic
10 are Jewish
3 are Episcopalian
2 are Presbyterian
2 make No Commitment to a Religious belief that I can find.
1 Seventh-day Adventist
1 Baptist
1 Lutheran
1 Non-Practicing Buddhist.
There are only 3 honest (at least in this sense) people represented by these admissions. And America wonders where our morals have gone. They've been legislated away by a Congress that thinks we need to be mothered. Well, I'm grown and capable of taking care of myself. The Nation cut those apron strings over 200 years ago. Freedom does NOT mean Government control of our lives.

Because Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert only had a Christian Bible, a copy of the Tanakh was borrowed by Hastert's staff from Congressman Gary Ackerman for this purpose.

I can't comment on this, I haven't seen it. Doesn't sound too good for a politician though. Stephen Colbert coaxes Rep.

Some of the individuals here make it hard to research them. The most radical, the Baptist, and Jewish are hardest. I could not even access Official web sites on two of them. The others are vague or mostly double speak. The ONLY way to really find out who they are or what they "Represent" is to view their voting records. I saw the voting margins that put/keep these people in office and I was floored. I still cannot believe what I was seeing. I would truly be ashamed if even one of these people conducted business in my name. A concerted effort should be made to get the word out on them and REMOVE them in the next election. IF these Politicians ARE representing their constituents and get some help from like minded Left-wing Liberals from other Urban (More people more rep's) areas, the MAJORITY will in fact be ousted and ruled by the minority. I could have looked for the same information on Immigration, Border Security, Flag Burning, Abortion, Taxes or whatever. I chose H.R. 1022 because someone here once said "Don't trust a Politician that won't trust you with a gun". It started out as an addendum to a previously sent e-mail..
Now it's a book!! Sorry but this is important.
1022 - Gun Control OR Oligarchic Republic? Remember?; A Few States Imposed THEIR Will/Morals Etc.. On the Majority. Hopefully you read that e-mail. Look at the H.R.1022 Sponsor/Co-sponsors, state and party affiliation.
This is JUST ONE EXAMPLE of what I meant!
Only 16 States Are Represented By Sponsorship: CA 8, NY 6, MA 5, AZ 2, FL 2, CO 1, HI 1, IL 1, MD 1, MO 1, NC 1, NJ 1, PA 1, RI 1, TX 1, VA 1. Large urban areas.
Last time I checked there were still 50 states. Have some seceded? Maybe the other 34 don't want any part of this!!! Especially rural America where only 1 Representative speaks for large geographical areas.
Every Representative, 100%, calls the Democratic Party home. For what it's worth, 20 male and 14 Female. How many of them pack or have bodyguards that do? Maybe this flap with Webb and his "Right" to carry is a good thing.
Let us at the same time look at the "Stated" Faith of each since "Democrats" want to make such a big deal of it. Notice the hypocrisy here as you view their profiles I put together below.
13 are Roman Catholic
10 are Jewish
3 are Episcopalian
2 are Presbyterian
2 make No Commitment to a Religious belief that I can find.
1 Seventh-day Adventist
1 Baptist
1 Lutheran
1 Non-Practicing Buddhist.
There are only 3 honest (at least in this sense) people represented by these admissions. And America wonders where our morals have gone. They've been legislated away by a Congress that thinks we need to be mothered. Well, I'm grown and capable of taking care of myself. The Nation cut those apron strings over 200 years ago. Freedom does NOT mean Government control of our lives.

Because Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert only had a Christian Bible, a copy of the Tanakh was borrowed by Hastert's staff from Congressman Gary Ackerman for this purpose.

I can't comment on this, I haven't seen it. Doesn't sound too good for a politician though. Stephen Colbert coaxes Rep.

Well, my friend in arms, just consider how much reading I had to do just to put this together so you wouldn't have to read that much. These are some VERY dangerous people, but by no means all of them. Hopefully this will be some kind of a wake-up call as to the type of people "Serving Our Best Interest" by legislating away our freedom based on their personal views, victim status, birth status, nepotism, or financial ability to buy a seat over and over again. Most have bamboozled their constituents into believing they are doing the right things. Either that or big city folks are just plum stupid!!

Hopefully this will be some kind of a wake-up call as to the type of people "Serving Our Best Interest" by legislating away our freedom based on their personal views, victim status, birth status, nepotism, or financial ability to buy a seat over and over again. Most have bamboozled their constituents into believing they are doing the right things. Either that or big city folks are just plum stupid!!
And I appreciate it. If I sounded a little ungrateful, I apologize.
Man, that is a lot of crap dug up. Too bad not everyone knows it...
Glad to do it. Hope it helps the cause somehow.

No sweat, I did not take any offense. Sorry if my response gave you that impression. Tact is not one of my virtues. My intent is to get the word out to everyone. I sent it as an e-mail to everyone I know. Cut and paste it and do the same.
New information:
DiscoverTheNetworks examines the immensely wealthy charitable foundations that provide financial backing for leftist groups and causes. This will blow your mind!!!

Read the page and then scroll back up to the top. Click on "FUNDERS" and get a whole list of places to start boycotting, e-mailing, letter writing and calling.
OBTW same page: If you have time, link to "FRONTPAGEMAG" at the top and read:
The EU at 50. Or get it here: ( http://www.frontpagemag.com/ )
At one time I was against term limits. What happens when you get a GOOD politician in office? Term limits would force that person out. Well, I have since changed my mind. The odds of loosing one good politician, pale in the face of how many BAD ones you would throw out.

I edited your post, only to shorten the url. The long ones stretch the page and I have to scroll back and forth to read it. If you want to, you can post the url in the following way, to shorten it.
(url="www.your-LONG-url-goes-here")Put your notation here(/url)
Use the square brackets, like this - [ ] - instead of the - ( ) - brackets. Don't leave any spaces anywhere, and use the quotation marks around your url.
You have to type this into the reply box provided here, you can not type it up in a word document, then paste it here. The quotation marks do not work for whatever reason. Well, you can, but you have to remember to change the quotation marks when you paste it in here, or it will not work.
You can even put a clickable link in the middle of a sentence. Then turn it "colored" if you want. [;)][:D]
Thank you. I don't understand 10% of what you just said. I epitomize the term "computer illiterate". I tried 7 times to post it and had my girlfriend reformat the information 3 times. Never could get it all on there without having to scroll. Finally gave it up and posted it anyway. I sure do appreciate you fixing it. I had seen a post like it on here once before and it was a real aggravation trying to read it.
I'm all for term limits as well. No retirement bennies, just people who want to do the job for the GOOD of the country, not financial or political gain. Outlaw lobbyist. And, require a psychiatric evaluation to weed out the loons.

You keep posting this info, I'll keep fixin it. [;)][:D][:D]
Thanks for doing the research.
Thank You.

Thanks. Just between you and me I probably wouldn't pass a psych evaluation either. Those Democrats have driven me plum crazy.
Congressional ethics reform?? Most Ethical Congress in History?? Here is another example of what to expect. Do you remember the Democrats making such a big deal about Cheney and Halliburton? Stand-by, they were amateurs by comparison.
The newly appointed chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is now duly in charge of regulating the ethical behavior of her colleagues.
She supports abortion rights and gun control laws. She politicked this year for renewal of the Patriot Act and sponsored a constitutional amendment to ban American flag burning. She is currently calling for President Bush to set a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq, but she strongly supported the invasions, occupations and "reconstructions" of both Iraq and Afghanistan. She sits on the Defense Appropriations subcommittee and the Senate Intelligence Committee, and she is a consistent hawk on matters military.
Here it is, another case of extreme hypocrisy and corruption by an elected Representative of the people. Self-service is more like it.
The MSM gave her a pass on this, we the people should NOT. Thanks to Peter Byrne of Metroactive.com the cat is out of the bag.
Senator Feinstein's Iraq Conflict:
As a member of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee, Sen. Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions to her husband's firms. As the arbiter of Senate rules on ethics, it is incumbent on Feinstein to provide the public with an explanation of why she did not recuse herself from acting on MILCON details that served her financial interests, and why she failed to resign from the subcommittee after she recognized the potential for conflicts of interest, which, unfortunately, materialized in an obvious way and over a long period of time. Now she is wealthy. In 2005, Roll Call calculated Feinstein's wealth, including Blum's assets, at $40 million, up 25 percent from the year before.
Perini's common stock: 1997 Paid $4 a share. - Dec. 2005 Sold shares for $23.75 per share
URS's military construction work in 2000 earned it a mere $24 million. The next year, when Feinstein took over as MILCON chair, military construction earned URS $185 million. On top of that, the company's architectural and engineering revenue from military construction projects grew from $108,726 in 2000 to $142 million in 2001, more than a thousand-fold increase in a single year. Between 2003 and 2005, URS' share price doubled.

An update on Feinstein's departure from MILCON.
Feinstein Resigns:
Senator exits MILCON following Metro expos?, vet-care scandal.
Perhaps she resigned from MILCON because she could not take the heat generated by Metro's expose of her ethics (which was partially funded by the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute). Or was her work on the subcommittee finished because Blum (Her Husband) divested ownership of his military construction and advanced weapons manufacturing firms in late 2005?
The MILCON subcommittee is not only in charge of supervising military construction, it also oversees "quality of life" issues for veterans, which includes building housing for military families and operating hospitals and clinics for wounded soldiers. Perhaps Feinstein is trying to disassociate herself from MILCON's incredible failure to provide decent medical care for wounded soldiers. Feinstein had ample warning of the medical-care meltdown. But she was not proactive on veteran's affairs and the system of medical care for veterans collapsed on her watch.
You would think that, considering all the money Feinstein's family has pocketed by waging global warfare while ignoring the plight of wounded American soldiers, she would show a smidgeon of shame and resign from the entire Senate, not just a subcommittee.

More Giuliani on Gun Control:

Alphecca: More on Giuliani on Gun Control ( http://www.alphecca.com/mt_alphecca_archives/003150.html )
Also Read: Bloomberg Pushes Pelosi on Gun Control and NY: Now it's Bullet Control
GOA's John Velleco provides a history of Rudy's gun control fetish:
In 1993, Giuliani met with then-President Clinton to discuss national gun registration and supported the Brady bill, which had recently passed, but Rudy argued that it didn't go far enough. Clinton, largely crediting Giuliani for the idea, enthusiastically sent Atty. Gen. Janet Reno off to develop a gun-licensing and registration system.
In May 1994, as the battle over the ban on certain semi-automatic firearms reached its height, Giuliani threw his support behind the ban. On the eve of the final vote, he noted that so-called assault weapons "have no legitimate purpose." When the ban passed, Giuliani commented that "this is an important step toward curtailing the indiscriminate proliferation of guns across the nation."
When a lunatic attacked innocent civilians at the Empire State Building in 1997, Giuliani used the tragedy to again push for gun control beyond his city's limits: "We need a federal law that bans all assault weapons, and if in fact you do need a handgun, you should be subjected to at least the same restrictions-and really stronger ones-that exist for driving an automobile. ... Congress needs to pass uniform licensing for everyone carrying a gun."
When Rudy did focus on city gun laws, which already were among the most stringent in the country, his effort was only to further disarm the law-abiding.
In 1998, Giuliani pushed a proposal that would require gun owners to use "trigger locks" on all firearms, thus rendering the guns useless in the event of an emergency. Such a law would be enforced, he said, through "criminal penalties and the revocation of gun permits."
If Giuliani had a federalist conversion, it did not occur in his first six years as mayor, for in 2000, he again took his gun-control show on the road.
In becoming the first GOP mayor to launch a city lawsuit against gun makers, Giuliani complained that "less restrictive gun laws in other parts of the country" exacerbated the crime problem in New York City.
There's plenty more. Giuliani may claim he would let cities and states decide on their own gun laws and he might say that he doesn't support new national laws (including an AWB) but his record says otherwise.
That sould have been apparent for a lonnggg time.
Any American that votes for Giuliani ain't.
That sould have been apparent for a lonnggg time.
But highball, at this point, the frontrunners on either side of the asile, are ANTI_GUN . Isn't this what you have been looking for? If ol' RUDY is voted in he will do worse than Billy boy in the eyes of the 2nd Amendment. Why discourage people from voting for the gun banners ?
I will restate what I mean.
Voting for ANY of the frontrunners is Anti-American...UNLESS you understand that the entire pack is corrupted and you are willing to wade into the river of blood that their polices of hate and evil SHOULD generate here in America..assuming there are any men left here.

Putting Dianne Swinestein in charge of ethics is like asking a vampire to watch over a bloodbank.
She is Jewish, nothing wrong with that. The problem is that there are a LOT of Jewish people living in that area of Illinois. Most of them AUTOMATICALLY vote for her. Even if they are Republicans.
Why? Because of her race/religion. My friend, who is also jewish, have told me that during the election in his synagogue the rabbi was telling people to vote for her, to put "Someone who will care about our needs" into power.
I am not an anti-semite. I really do not care about your colour or race. However, such practices seems to be rather unethical. I beleive there was something about a noncense called "Separation of Church and state". Yes, I know that the Bible Totting southerners from the Bible belt have the same problem, however, in both cases such thigns are just plain WRONG.
Janice seems to think that "all dem white folks with dem guns and pickup trucks" are dangerous to her and other jews. I dunno what she is smoking, but she ain't sharing what she is smoking, and that is just WRONG. I have yet to see a statistics which talks about someone doing a drive by of a synagoge with a legally obtained rifle or SMG.
I called her. Tried to reason with her. She ain't listening.
I am a democrat myself. Needless to say that in the next election, I will register to vote in HER district and vote against her.
