More bad news

SoVaNow.com / February 25, 2010
Dear Viewpoint:

More bad news about the rights of all Americans to have guns has come across my computer. Mr. Dudley of the National Association for gun rights has sent me information about a bill H.R. 2159 or the misnamed “Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorist Act of 2009.”

Do you remember when Washington, DC called US (you and me) Terrorist a while back because we would not agree with their tax and spend ways.

This bill says that the courts “must” rely on Eric Holder’s personally “redacted version” or “summaries” of the “evidence” he supposedly has against you.

Plus, Republicans like Mike Castle of Delaware, Peter King of New York and Mark Kirk of Illinois are not Americans, Sarah Brady and MoveOn.org, Surveillance Czar Janet Napolitano, Carolyn McCarthy, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid are working against you and me.

People, we have a Constitution for our great country. But, none of the above mentioned people are honoring the Constitution of the United States of America. The states make up the federal government. Not the other way around. The states were here first, not the federal government.
