URGENT! Action needed by all!

[wingsprint410]

As a critical Second Amendment case goes before the United States Supreme Court, U.S. Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) and Jon Tester (D-MT), and Congressmen Mike Ross (D-AR) and Mark Souder (R-IN) are gathering signatures for an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief by Members of Congress.  And we need your support for this important effort next week.

The case is McDonald v. City of Chicago, and it will answer the question of whether the Second Amendment applies to the states—as the Congress clearly intended in the 1860s, when it adopted the Fourteenth Amendment to protect constitutional rights against abuse by state and local governments.  This brief is an opportunity for today’s Congress to show just as clearly that it respects the Second Amendment’s importance to all Americans—not just residents of the District of Columbia and other federal territories.

I spoke with my US Congresswoman's District Director and he told me that these congressional briefs do carry weight with the Justices and we need to get as many members of Congress to sign as possible.

At my level both my senators and my representative signed on. One of my senators isn't the most supportive of gun rights and still signed on. Check who signed the brief and remember come election time.
