Sotomayer Vote
Posted: Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:45:51
THe GOA has created a pre written letter to send to the Senators regarding the confirmation of Sotomayer,, For what it's worth she will probably be confirmed barring an act of God or something, But sending the letter will put them on notice that you are watching what goes on and keeping track of their votes. I'm still not convinced about the Interstate Carry Vote after reading what went on there.

Dear Senator:
The confirmation of Judge Sonia Sotomayor would be a horrible choice for Americans -- not to mention the gun owners of this country. Throughout her career, Judge Sonia Sotomayor has shown that she opposes the right to keep and bear arms, denies there is a constitutional right to self-defense, and frequently ignores constitutional and statutory precedents.
However, I understand that a front group called the American Hunters and Shooters Association is supporting Sotomayor, giving cover to wavering Senators.
Please understand that AHSA is NOT a pro-gun organization. This organization shares many of the same goals as the Brady Campaign, and it is nothing more than a Trojan horse in the gun rights community.
After all, this is a group that according to records from 2005 had fewer than 150 dues paying individual members. Its founding president, Ray Schoenke, donated money to the radical Handgun Control, Inc. -- a group that argued in favor of the DC gun ban (which was struck down by the Supreme Court last year). And another of its founding members, John Rosenthal, was also the founder of Stop Handgun Violence.
I am a proud supporter of Gun Owners of America, and they do speak for me and the gun rights community when they say that Judge Sonia Sotomayor is bad for the Constitution... bad for the Second Amendment... and bad for America.
Sincerely,
