REACTION TO GILLIBRAND PROVES DEMOCRATS STILL PARTY OF GUN CONTROL, SAYS CCRKBA
BELLEVUE, WA – The hysteria-laden reaction from members of her own party to last week’s appointment of New York Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to fill the United States Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton proves that Democrats are still the party of gun control, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
“Kirsten Gillibrand gets high marks from the ACLU and from the Americans for Democratic Action,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “She supports abortion rights, stem cell research and health care protection for children – all hot button issues for Democrats – but because she supports gun rights, members of her own party have chosen to excoriate her and Gov. David Patterson. Well, so much for being the party of tolerance and inclusion.
“Where does it say that gun owners in New York State should be deprived of a voice in the Senate Democratic Caucus,” Gottlieb wondered. “Gillibrand recently said she believes there can be much common ground between those who protect gun rights and those who believe in gun control. Isn’t that the same thing that the extremists at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence have been claiming? Isn’t that the same philosophy that gun control zealots on Capitol Hill have expressed in the past?
“The difference,” he continued, “is that Gillibrand has a 100-percent rating from the NRA, while too many of her fellow Democrats have made careers out of giving only lip service to the Second Amendment.
“What this controversy really proves,” Gottlieb stated, “is that too many Democrats remain devoted to crushing gun rights, and they will even stoop to attacking and demonizing a rising star of their own party to further their agenda. This is not the party of ‘change’ that so many Americans supported in November. It is apparently a party of narrow views with no tolerance for different opinions, especially if those opinions support the rights of millions of law-abiding American firearms owners.”
Stop the Left's Multi-Billion Dollar Handout to Liberal Allies
We knew it was coming, and it’s finally here.
After weeks and weeks of anticipating when and how the newer, stronger Democrat-led Congress would first strike against our individual liberties and expand the size of our already bloated government, the wait is over and we now know what we are up against.
This week both the House and Senate will be moving a massive $825 billion economic stimulus package full off wasteful spending, and worse still multi-billion dollar handouts to their liberal allies. Specifically, radical Left-wing groups such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) could have access to billions of dollars should this stimulus plan pass.
Take Action NOW!
ACORN is an extremist organization that has come under close scrutiny lately for voter fraud activities. They have a notorious reputation for doing anything to get Democrats elected. Should your hard-earned tax dollars be used to make groups like this stronger?
It’s pretty obvious what the Democrats are trying to do. They want to strengthen their grassroots backbone so that they can dig in, protect their majority in Congress, and clear the way to enacting their big-government agenda for years to come.
In the name of Freedom, we can’t let them get away with this.
Click here to TAKE ACTION and send an urgent email to your Representative and Senators urging them to oppose the stimulus plan. And use our toll-free hotline to Congress at (866) 928-3035 to be connected with the offices of your lawmakers and hammer home this message. If you need help finding out who your Representative and Senators are or to learn what else you can do to combat these ideas, contact our grassroots team by replying to this email.
The stimulus plan being considered in Congress this week will do nothing to help spur the economy out of recession. What it will do is waste your hard-earned money and strengthen the hand of the Left.
Despite all the talk on the Left of bipartisanship and “reaching across the aisle,” fiscally sound approaches to boosting our economy such as tax cuts and tighter spending controls were ignored by the Democrat leadership.
Fight back against the Left’s first blow against our liberties. TAKE ACTION NOW!
Sincerely,
Dick Armey
Chairman

P.S. It’s critical that we generate a huge outcry against the wasteful, Democrat stimulus package and its multi-billon dollar taxpayer funded handouts to groups like ACORN. Please Forward this email to 5 friends and ask them to TAKE ACTION as well!
