I just got this in a eMail from the the National Association for Gun Rights!
Please, if you love liberty and respect the Constitution, stop what you’re doing and call your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY.
As you know, Head Senate Obamacrat Harry Reid has scheduled an important, initial vote on re-authorization of the anti-gun Patriot Act in just 4 short hours.
The radically anti-gun White House is desperate to keep the tools of the mis-named Patriot Act to spy on “domestic terrorists” – translate that to mean law-abiding gun owners like you and me.
Immediately contact Sen. Bob Corker at (202) 224-3344) and Sen. Lamar Alexander at (202) 224-4944 and demand that they oppose re-authorization of the Patriot Act.
If today’s Motion to Proceed passes, they could formally vote on and pass a four-year extension of the Patriot Act as early as THIS Thursday!
Re-authorization of the mis-named Patriot Act gives government jackboots more and more tools in their war on gun owners and gun rights activists, who Obamacrats smear as “Radical Extremists” and even “Domestic Terrorists.”
Even a gesture as simple as placing a pro-gun bumper sticker on your car or supporting a pro-gun candidate makes you a potential “domestic terrorist” in the eyes of the Obamacrats currently running our government.
That makes YOU a potential target of unconstitutional domestic spying.
Immediately contact Sen. Bob Corker at (202) 224-3344 and Sen. Lamar Alexander at (202) 224-4944 and demand that they oppose re-authorization of the Patriot Act.
Please call your Senators right now.
This cannot wait. They will vote in a few short hours and EVERY SINGLE call they receive matters.
For Liberty,
Dudley Brown
Executive Director

Oh what a difference a night can make.
Senator Rand Paul fought well into the night against the big-government, anti-gun power grab of the Patriot Act (S. 1038). Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had promised to allow amendments to the bill. But my capitol hill sources tell me he was livid that Senator Paul was trying to introduce an amendment to exempt all firearm records from the Patriot Act searches.
Instead of allowing the amendments, Harry Reid and his Police-state conspirators in Republican leadership are throwing out all the rules -- and their own promises to allow Paul’s pro-gun amendment -- in order to secure passage of the freedom-shredding Patriot Act.
Senator Paul’s valiant defense of gun owners through amendments and procedural motions would have pushed a final vote on the four-year extension of the Patriot Act into the weekend.
This has Reid and Obamacrats scrambling to find “creative” ways to pass the bill before certain elements of the legislation expire on Friday.
Reid has found a way to cheat Senator Paul and gun owners out of a vote on Paul’s pro-gun amendment while doing the bidding of the anti-gun Obama Administration.
You see the anti-gunners in Washington D.C. are desperate to keep the tools of the mis-named Patriot Act to spy on “domestic terrorists” -- translate that to mean law-abiding gun owners like you and me.
Instead of allowing Paul to introduce amendments, with debate and votes that would follow, Reid is going to take the entire mis-named Patriot Act and amend it on to a small business bill that just passed the House.
In simple terms, Reid has reneged on his promise and is attempting to block any amendments and stifle all opposition to extending the mis-named Patriot Act.
Reid’s complicated maneuvering will result in a cloture vote to amend the mis-named Patriot Act on to a small business bill (S. 990) tomorrow.
