From The National Association For Gun Rights:
Earlier today, on the vote to proceed to debate on President Obama’s anti-gun agenda, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid succeeded in overcoming Senator Rand Paul’s filibuster.
And 13 NRA "A Rated" Republicans and 9 "A Rated" Democrats voted to help him do it (Plus 2 more NRA "B Rated" politicians).
I’m going to give you a list of these wolves in sheep’s clothing shortly, but our job now is crystal clear -- let these turncoats know that any gun control that passes now is their fault.
But first it’s absolutely critical you know where this fight is now headed . . .
Unfortunately, the timing of the coming fights is extremely difficult to predict at this point.
So you and I must be on guard every second.
EVERY United States Senator needs to feel even more heat from Second Amendment supporters.
You see, even among the 31 Senators who stood with Rand Paul for the filibuster, there are some who are scared of Harry Reid and the media that they may cave in on some kind of insider deal.
That's why with your help, I’m committed to ramping up all of our most critical programs -- including mail, email, internet, radio and our hard-hitting TV-ad buys that have multiple Senators whining in the press.
As part of these efforts, I’ve crafted a special No Gun Control/No Deals Emergency Fax Petition I’m going to ask you to sign IMMEDIATELY. Whatever you've done before, we need to double-down the pressure RIGHT NOW.
And if possible, please forward them to your pro-gun friends and family members, as well.
Right now, the United States Senate could take up for discussion three amendments to S.649 as early as this evening, including:
*** The Feinstein Gun Ban, targeting rifles, shotguns and even handguns;
*** Magazine Bans, outlawing the importation, manufacture and sale of magazines holding more than just a handful of rounds;
*** The so-called “Toomey-Manchin” Universal “Background Check” (NATIONAL GUN REGISTRATION) Bill, which was actually written by Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
The S.649 language itself -- even apart from all of these amendments -- includes ATF Witch Hunt provisions designed to terrorize gun owners.
With Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid now calling the shots after invoking cloture on Senator Paul’s heroic filibuster of the motion to proceed, he holds all of the cards as far as timing.
If a vote becomes imminent, rest assured I will alert you IMMEDIATELY.
But there’s one thing I can assure you.
If you and I are going to hold off this madness, we’re going to have to fight back like never before.
It won’t be easy. I believe we can.
But the truth is, all of these assaults could have been turned back this morning.
In fact, if any bad legislation ultimately is passed into law, the blame can be laid at the feet at the following Republican turncoats who voted to end Senator Paul’s filibuster, including:
Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) – NRA A rated
Kelly Ayotte (N.H.) – NRA A rated
Richard Burr (N.C.) – NRA A rated
Saxby Chambliss (Ga.) – NRA A rated
Tom Coburn (Okla.) – NRA A rated
Susan Collins (Maine) – NRA C+ rated
Bob Corker (Tenn.) – NRA A rated
Jeff Flake (Ariz.) – NRA A rated
Lindsey Graham (S.C.) – NRA A rated
Dean Heller (Nev.) – NRA A rated
John Hoeven (N.D.) – NRA A rated
Johnny Isakson (Ga.) – NRA A rated
Mark Kirk (Ill.) – NRA F rated
John McCain (Ariz.) – NRA B+ rated
Pat Toomey (Pa.) – NRA A rated
Roger Wicker (Miss.) – NRA A+ rated
13 of these Senators have NRA “A-ratings.”
This is how the game is played in Washington, D.C.
And if you and I are going to retain any semblance of freedom in this country, the LIES politicians and any group that covers for them tell are going to have to be exposed for what they are.
That’s exactly what the National Association for Gun Rights has done during this fight -- and exactly what we will continue to do.
The good news is, this fight is far from over.
If filibustered, each amendment will have to receive 60 votes to pass.
Then the legislation will have to overcome the 60-vote threshold to proceed to final passage through the Senate.
Perhaps the greatest danger is an insider-cooked "grand deal" that will include some token pro-gun “sweetener” -- a minor protection or fake step forward on gun rights to make it easier for supposedly “pro-gun” Democrats and weak-kneed Republicans to sell to their constituents -- wrapped around BIG gun control changes.
An example would be a mental health protection for veterans.
Another (bad) idea is a national concealed-carry reciprocity law, handing our federal government control over state concealed-carry laws.
President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder want more say over who can’t buy guns.
And they want more names of those who do, so they can set the stage for what every gun owner fears . . .
Ultimate CONFISCATION.
They’re doing everything they can to lay the groundwork for that tragic day right now.
I need you to stand with me and help fight back.
So please sign your No Gun Control/No Deals Emergency Fax Petition IMMEDIATELY.
I’m doubling down on all our programs.
Every one.
In the coming hours, I’m preparing to unleash an all-out nationwide email, mail, internet and TV-ad blitz.
The more generous you are, the more I can turn up the heat on the Senate.
So please give as generously as you can today.
Every dollar you can give will make a tremendous difference.
I will keep you updated on any new developments as soon as they take place.
For Freedom,
Dudley Brown
Executive Vice President
P.S. The timing of the coming fights is extremely difficult to predict at this point, so you and I must be on guard every second.
With your help, I’m committed to ramping up all of our most critical programs -- including mail, email, internet, radio and TV ad buys.
As part of these efforts, I’ve crafted a special No Gun Control/No Deals Emergency Fax Petition I’m going to ask you to sign IMMEDIATELY.

Patrick J. Buchanan on the holocaust
From Patrick J. Buchanan
Was the Holocaust Inevitable?
Friday - June 20, 2008 at 12:07 am
by Patrick J. Buchanan
“What Would Winston Do?”
So asks Newsweek’s cover, which features a full-length photo of the prime minister his people voted the greatest Briton of them all.
Quite a tribute, when one realizes Churchill’s career coincides with the collapse of the British empire and the fall of his nation from world pre-eminence to third-rate power.
That the Newsweek cover was sparked by my book “Churchill, Hitler and The Unnecessary War” seems apparent, as one of the three essays, by Christopher Hitchens, was a scathing review. Though in places complimentary, Hitchens charmingly concludes: This book “stinks.”
Understandable. No Brit can easily concede my central thesis: The Brits kicked away their empire. Through colossal blunders, Britain twice declared war on a Germany that had not attacked her and did not want war with her, fought for 10 bloody years and lost it all.
Unable to face the truth, Hitchens seeks solace in old myths.
We had to stop Prussian militarism in 1914, says Hitchens. “The Kaiser’s policy shows that Germany was looking for a chance for war all over the globe.”
Nonsense. If the Kaiser were looking for a war he would have found it. But in 1914, he had been in power for 25 years, was deep into middle age but had never fought a war nor seen a battle.
From Waterloo to World War I, Prussia fought three wars, all in one seven-year period, 1864 to 1871. Out of these wars, she acquired two duchies, Schleswig and Holstein, and two provinces, Alsace and Lorraine. By 1914, Germany had not fought a war in two generations.
Does that sound like a nation out to conquer the world?
As for the Kaiser’s bellicose support for the Boers, his igniting the Agadir crisis in 1905, his building of a great fleet, his seeking of colonies in Africa, he was only aping the British, whose approbation and friendship he desperately sought all his life and was ever denied.
In every crisis the Kaiser blundered into, including his foolish “blank cheque” to Austria after Serb assassins murdered the heir to the Austrian throne, the Kaiser backed down or was trying to back away when war erupted.
Even Churchill, who before 1914 was charging the Kaiser with seeking “the dominion of the world,” conceded, “History should … acquit William II of having plotted and planned the World War.”
What of World War II? Surely, it was necessary to declare war to stop Adolf Hitler from conquering the world and conducting the Holocaust.
Yet consider. Before Britain declared war on him, Hitler never demanded return of any lands lost at Versailles to the West. Northern Schleswig had gone to Denmark in 1919, Eupen and Malmedy had gone to Belgium, Alsace and Lorraine to France.
Why did Hitler not demand these lands back? Because he sought an alliance, or at least friendship, with Great Britain and knew any move on France would mean war with Britain — a war he never wanted.
If Hitler were out to conquer the world, why did he not build a great fleet? Why did he not demand the French fleet when France surrendered? Germany had to give up its High Seas Fleet in 1918.
Why did he build his own Maginot Line, the Western Wall, in the Rhineland, if he meant all along to invade France?
If he wanted war with the West, why did he offer peace after Poland and offer to end the war, again, after Dunkirk?
That Hitler was a rabid anti-Semite is undeniable. “Mein Kampf” is saturated in anti-Semitism. The Nuremberg Laws confirm it. But for the six years before Britain declared war, there was no Holocaust, and for two years after the war began, there was no Holocaust.
Not until midwinter 1942 was the Wannsee Conference held, where the Final Solution was on the table.
That conference was not convened until Hitler had been halted in Russia, was at war with America and sensed doom was inevitable. Then the trains began to roll.
And why did Hitler invade Russia? This writer quotes Hitler 10 times as saying that only by knocking out Russia could he convince Britain it could not win and must end the war.
Hitchens mocks this view, invoking the Hitler-madman theory.
“Could we have a better definition of derangement and megalomania than the case of a dictator who overrules his own generals and invades Russia in wintertime … ?”
Christopher, Hitler invaded Russia on June 22.
The Holocaust was not a cause of the war, but a consequence of the war. No war, no Holocaust.
Britain went to war with Germany to save Poland. She did not save Poland. She did lose the empire. And Josef Stalin, whose victims outnumbered those of Hitler 1,000 to one as of September 1939, and who joined Hitler in the rape of Poland, wound up with all of Poland, and all the Christian nations from the Urals to the Elbe.
The British Empire fought, bled and died, and made Eastern and Central Europe safe for Stalinism. No wonder Winston Churchill was so melancholy in old age. No wonder Christopher rails against the book. As T.S. Eliot observed, “Mankind cannot bear much reality.”

McCain is a senile old moron
John McCain attacks Rand Paul on filibuster, drones saying he needs to ‘calm down’
U.S. Sen. John McCain slammed fellow Republican Rand Paul on the Senate floor Thursday morning for his 13-hour filibuster to block John Brennan’s confirmation as CIA Director.
“Calm down, Senator,” McCain said, in an address to Paul. “The U.S. government cannot randomly target U.S. citizens.”
In his filibuster Wednesday, Paul criticized the White House over its drone policies, and for refusing to rule out military strikes against U.S. citizens on American soil.
McCain said Thursday that Paul’s warnings that the U.S. could target “Jane Fonda” or “people in cafes” bring the debate into the “realm of the ridiculous.”
“If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids,” McCain said, adding: “I don’t think what happened yesterday is helpful to the American people.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) echoed these criticisms, adding that he was “disappointed” in the 13 Republican Senators who supported Paul’s filibuster last night. Graham scoffed at Paul’s question about whether Obama thinks he has the authority to kill a noncombatant American citizen on U.S. soil.
“I find the question offensive,” Graham said Thursday on the Senate floor. “As much I disagree with President Obama and as much as I support past presidents, I do not believe that question deserves an answer.” Paul’s question, the South Carolina Republican said, “cheapens the debate.”
Graham later told reporters that he will vote to confirm Brennan as a result of the filibuster

I am so sick of hearing about John McCain,that senile old bastard from Arizona. He is a fucking STATIST in all caps. Wherever the forces of liberty go to defend civil liberties and freedoms McCain is there to counter us and oppose us,time and time again. He has never once stood on the side of liberty in fact he is our biggest opponent on the Republican side of the aisle. McCain's disdain for us "liberty kids" is obvious and his understanding of how the government is ran is very limited or he under estimates everybody else. If you received a watered down third rate education by a modern union teacher who couldn't care less and cannot be fired due to tenure then maybe you'll believe McCain. On the other hand if you received a quality education then you know McCain is full of shit. The government is "of the people,for the people and by the people". The people run the government. That is why McCain must run to keep his job and if he loses he goes back to Arizona to stay,which sounds great to me. If there were no elections he would just meet someone in a office to discuss performance reviews. Sounds like McCain needs to either take a course in civics or get off our Libertarian backs.
Senator Lindsey Graham has made good decisions in the past. His standing up to VAWA is admirable but he's got it wrong this time. There can be some positive changes. Unfortunately a lot of Republicans want to be liked by the liberal media and to do so they will sell out core conservative values if they think it will gain them favorable coverage. Unfortunately for them the liberal media hates them and will do anything against them. Senator Graham,if you are reading this or hear about it that dinner with Obama may have been the most expensive meal yet. I don't believe the voters of South Carolina sent you to Washington DC to clink glasses with Obama. I'm sure when they heard about it they were probably very upset. If Obama and the Democrats can accept the National Review hates their guts then the Republicans have to accept the New York Times hates their guts. If you are a Libertarian and a resident of Arizona or South Carolina let McCain and Graham know where you stand.

Secret vote on CISPA
From Fight For The Future:
If you're a Google, Facebook, or Twitter user, or if your friends are, you should be worried.
Today, Congress held a secret vote on CISPA, the modern government surveillance system that every website, including Google, Facebook, and Twitter could participate in, if it becomes law.
Here's one important way to protect all that data they have on you right now.
Facebook supported CISPA when it was proposed last year. This time, even Facebook is saying the bill has privacy problems, but we still haven't heard from Google or Twitter.
Will they let the government get all of our data against all privacy laws? Will they share your personal data with the government once you're no longer able to sue them for it? We don't know.
As Congress takes a secret vote on CISPA, tell these companies: "No way! We want to trust your privacy policy and believe you will stand by it! Respect our privacy!"
This is an important moment to get them before it's too late.
That's why Reddit's co-founder, Alexis, called Google's CEO himself to ask them about where they stand on CISPA.
We're making headway -- FFTF is delivering 300,000 signatures to CISPA co-sponsors one by one over Twitter. But the threat of CISPA moving forward in the House is very real. The bill passed out of Committee today and will be rushing to a floor vote next week.
Help your friends too and forward this email.
It's your email; tell Google to support your right to keep it private!
It's your private information; tell Facebook and Twitter to keep it that way!
Take an important step to protect all that data they have on you right now.
Thank you for everything,

The Senate vote happens tomorrow
From Campaign For Liberty:
Republican Senator Pat "Benedict" Toomey (R-PA) is doing Barack Obama and Harry Reid's bidding for gun control.
Late last night, Pat Toomey teamed up with Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) to give the gun grabbers the “bipartisan compromise” they need to help RAM Barack Obama's anti-gun agenda into law.
According to inside sources, Pat Toomey's anti-gun bill has Chuck Schumer's fingerprints all over it.
The most important vote in the ENTIRE fight over gun control will take place tomorrow morning in the U.S. Senate when Harry Reid attempts to move gun control to the floor.
That's why it's critical you sign your Stand With Rand Filibuster Fax Petition IMMEDIATELY to urge your U.S. Senators to support Rand Paul's filibuster.
Our plan is to flood Senate offices with tens of thousands of faxes from pro-gun Americans demanding their Senators back the Rand Paul filibuster.
After you sign your Filibuster Fax Petition, please also take five minutes to call both your U.S. Senators and urge them to support Rand Paul's filibuster against Harry Reid's Motion to Proceed to bring gun control to the Senate floor.
Contact you Senators here
You see, the gun grabbers only need five Republicans to oppose Rand Paul in order to get the 60 votes required to break a filibuster.
Unfortunately, even before Pat Toomey's sellout, five Republicans had already hinted at their opposition to Rand Paul's filibuster.
So if you and I are going to stop Barack Obama's gun control agenda, it's going to take a massive uprising of grassroots gun owners all across the country.
So please sign your Stand With Rand Filibuster Fax Petition and call your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY.
The good news is, Harry Reid can't count on all Senate Democrats to oppose Rand Paul's filibuster.
In fact, a handful of Democrats who have to face the voters next election haven't yet made up their minds as to whether or not they will stand with Rand Paul or Pat Toomey.
So if enough Americans stand up and make their voices heard, you and I have a shot at winning this fight.
That's why it's vital you sign your Stand With Rand Filibuster Fax Petition and call your U.S. Senators right away.
You and I are up against the most dangerous threat to our Second Amendment freedoms in our lifetime.
And without your IMMEDIATE action, I'm afraid the statists will soon erase what remains of this fundamental constitutional protection.
You and I must flood the Senate with tens of thousands of faxes and phone calls in support of Rand Paul's filibuster.
So please, sign your Stand With Rand Filibuster Fax Petition IMMEDIATELY.
And take five minutes to call both of your U.S. Senators and insist they Stand With Rand!
There's not a moment to waste. Please take action NOW!
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
P.S. The Senate fight over our God-given right to keep and bear arms will go down tomorrow morning.
This fight is expected to be won or lost by just a few votes, so your IMMEDIATE action is critical.
Please, sign your Stand With Rand Filibuster Fax Petition IMMEDIATELY.
After you sign your Filibuster Fax Petition, please also take five minutes to call both your U.S. Senators and urge them to support Rand Paul's filibuster against Harry Reid's Motion to Proceed to bring gun control to the Senate floor.

Congress is going to reconvene soon which means that If you haven't already acted upon the petitions now would be the time to do so so they know where you stand. A couple of things that are going to be brought up in Congress-both the House and Senate. The first one is the Internet Tax Mandate and a pledge to stand with Senator Rand Paul as he battles Senator Harry Reid and other statists. Our freedoms are on the line,the civil liberties we hold dear are on the line. If Reid wins we lose. It's that simple. Defend our freedoms,defeat Harry Reid and his statist schemers.

CFAA: fix don't expand
From Demand Progress:
1. Tell Congress:
Don't Expand the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act: Fix It!
And scroll down to join the Internet-wide week of action by embedding our contact-Congress widget on your site.
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is the law under which Aaron Swartz and other innovators and activists have been threatened with decades in prison. The CFAA is so broad that law enforcement says it criminalizes all sorts of mundane Internet use: Potentially even breaking a website's fine print terms of service agreement. Don't set up a Myspace page for your cat. Don't fudge your height on a dating site. Don't share your Facebook password with anybody: You could be committing a federal crime. (Read more here.)
It's the vagueness and over breadth of this law that allows prosecutors to go after people like Aaron Swartz, who tragically committed suicide earlier this year. The government threatened to jail him for decades for downloading academic articles from the website JSTOR.
Since Aaron's death, activists have cried out for reform of the CFAA. But members of the House Judiciary Committee are actually floating a proposal to expand and strengthen it -- that could come up for a vote as soon as April 10th! (Read more here.)
Add your name at right to join us in telling Congress to defeat the bill to expand the CFAA, and to pass a law to reform it to protect innovators and ordinary Internet users. If you have a website, please consider embedding our banner or widget on your site to encourage your visitors to join the cause.
2. Use Our Widgets To Encourage Your Site's Visitors To Join The Cause
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting on Monday, April 8th, we're asking sites across the web to join in a week of action, led by the Internet Defense League (the same groups that helped lead the fight against SOPA).
Please consider using our widgets to spread the word. They're easy to embed on your site and will help us drive thousands of constituent contacts to Congress.
We're asking sites to put them up on Monday, April 8th, and keep them up for as long as possible.
3. Help Spread The Word: Put Yourself "In Jail" On Facebook
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We've built a playful way for you to spread word about the CFAA and ask your friends to get involved.
In solidarity with those who've been threatened with prison under the CFAA, we're asking you to "jail" yourself on Facebook. We'll grab your profile photo, overlay prison bars on top of it, and repost it to your wall so your friends can see it. We'll include information about how the CFAA threatens ordinary Internet users -- and how your friends can join our fight.
The CFAA makes it a potential federal crime to violate a website's terms of service. Help make sure your friends know how ridiculous this law is, and how it jeopardizes us all.

It seems like everytime I turn around the government is playing little fucking statists games. It is a bipartisan effort so no one is innocent. That is why watchdog groups are needed to keep the government honest. The best way we can keep the government honest is by signing that petition.
1. Tell Congress:
Don't Expand the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act: Fix It!
And scroll down to join the Internet-wide week of action by embedding our contact-Congress widget on your site.
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is the law under which Aaron Swartz and other innovators and activists have been threatened with decades in prison. The CFAA is so broad that law enforcement says it criminalizes all sorts of mundane Internet use: Potentially even breaking a website's fine print terms of service agreement. Don't set up a Myspace page for your cat. Don't fudge your height on a dating site. Don't share your Facebook password with anybody: You could be committing a federal crime. (Read more here.)
It's the vagueness and over breadth of this law that allows prosecutors to go after people like Aaron Swartz, who tragically committed suicide earlier this year. The government threatened to jail him for decades for downloading academic articles from the website JSTOR.
Since Aaron's death, activists have cried out for reform of the CFAA. But members of the House Judiciary Committee are actually floating a proposal to expand and strengthen it -- that could come up for a vote as soon as April 10th! (Read more here.)
Add your name at right to join us in telling Congress to defeat the bill to expand the CFAA, and to pass a law to reform it to protect innovators and ordinary Internet users. If you have a website, please consider embedding our banner or widget on your site to encourage your visitors to join the cause.
