SENATOR MURRAY'S REPLY REGARDING HR 6257 ASSULT GUN BAN

Thank you for contacting me regarding H.R.6257, which is currently pending in the United States House of Representatives. I appreciate knowing your views on this matter.

In the Senate, this legislation would fall under the jurisdiction of the Judiciary Committee. While I am not a member of that Committee, I want to assure you that I will be following the progress of this bill and will keep your views in mind if this or related legislation comes before the full Senate for consideration.

Again, thank you for contacting me. I hope you will continue to keep in touch.

I hope all is well in Vancouver.

LAWYERS CALL FOR AN INTERNATIONAL COURT TO ENFORCE GLOBAL WARMING LAWS AROUND THE WORLD

Click on the title to go to this story. It looks like the global warming nut jobs are gaining a little traction on this. How do you feel about some body of people telling the United States how to do business because of a belief? This global warming idea has been proven false by top climatologists and scientists all over the world. The reason our climate has changed a little is because the sun in in an unusually long period of sunspot inactivity. That's all. Granted we may be headed towards a mini ice age, but not global warming.

LETTER TO THE GOP CONCERNING HR 6257

I am writing you about this issue because I believe you and the GOP has the clout to do something about this bill. I am appalled and shocked that this is a Republican sponsored bill. I would think that now, especially after the GOP just took a huge shellacking from the Dems that a bill of this nature would be unthinkable and out of the question. The GOP has to remake itself and a move like this is going to do nothing more than drive more conservatives away from the party. I would imagine that if this bill were to somehow pass, that would be the end of the GOP. Good Conservatives will not tolerate any more messing around with the 2nd Amendment and the GOP would be well advised to leave that issue alone, or risk the complete collapse of the party. I urge all to pull the plug on this Bill.

ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN HR 6257

Here is the text of my letter I sent to Congressman Brian Baird regarding the assault weapons ban. Please feel free to copy and paste it and send it yourself to your Representatives. I was unable to send it to Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray as their sites were down. I will keep attempting and will post when I meet with success.

H.R.6257

Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Introduced in House)

In my opinion, this legislation is flawed and will do nothing to lessen violent crime of any kind. All this bill will accomplish is depriving law-abiding citizens of these types of weapons. The criminals will always have access to them. The voting American public understands what is being attempted by our Representatives who were elected to represent us and who swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States, including the 2^nd Amendment. This bill in no way serves the law-abiding public and appears to be nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to disarm the public of these so called dangerous assault weapons. As a member of the NRA, a concerned citizen and voter, I urge you to not vote in favor of this bill or any others of this nature.

CURRENT BILL BEFORE CONGRESS - H.R.6257 Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Introduced in House)

Here is the text of the bill. It looks like the same crap that the Dems did in the Clinton era. Everyone needs to write to the Representatives and tell them NOT to vote in favor of this bill. The last time the Dems did this, a bunch of them were voted out of office the next election. They need to be reminded of that fact.

IRAQ SAYS $80 A BARREL IS REASONABLE......

Here is a story that I really don't understand.............I just to get how the Iraqi's can be allowed to do that when the US and the world is battling these high oil prices and doing everything to keep consumption down. In my little mind, $80 a barrel is WAY too much. The only way we are going to control these prices is to continue to drive slower, drive less and keep the demand down. Congress is already looking at a $1 per gallon tax so people won't be tempted to get back in their so called gas guzzling SUV's. LISTEN UP.......THIS IS FOR REAL FOLKS........I really don't want to have to pay $2-3 a gallon for gas....Do you??

STAMPEDE AT WALMART RESULTING IN THE DEATH OF A PART TIME EMPLOYEE?????!!!!!!!!!

Is this the level what we've sunk to?? My God!!.... We as a people have sunk to an all time low when we are more concerned about buying something and getting a deal than worrying about our fellow man.......shame on everyone who allowed this to happen. May God have mercy on those blinded by greed and who are of cold heart and mind. I am out of words.............Click on the title to go to the story.

HOW CAN YOU TELL WHEN A POLITICIAN IS LYING??

TERRORIST ATTACK IN INDIA

It looks like the cowardly terrorist are rearing their ugly heads again. Initial reports are not encouraging. It is a despicable, heinous, horrendous act and these cowards must be found and brought to justice as soon as possible. In my opinion, these cowards picked these targets because they appeared soft and vulnerable. There are many failures at many levels that lead to this happening. I want all who read this to take note,........NOT ONE TERRORIST ATTACK HAS OCCURRED IN THE UNITED STATES SINCE 911. Why do you think that happened, or should I say didn't? It is because of all the measures that our government put into place after 911. And for the most part, George Bush is the one responsible for taking the affirmative and decisive action needed to protect this country. Plain and simple. If you don't believe it, your just ignorant, or blind to the reality of the matter, period. Anyone who was in the loop, (like I was) knows it for a fact...Done Deal.

THE PRESIDENT ELECT AND HIS "CRACKBERRY" ADDICTION

It looks like our new "President Elect" is hooked on his Blackberry and is trying to wrangle a way of being able to keep it and use it as normal. This guy has no clue as to what "security" is and what kind of security threat the use of such a devise by someone in such high office. The Presidents communications must remain secure at all times...period. In no way can a method of communication be allowed to lead to some sort of security breech, whether it would be the interception of normal conversation or, and most importantly, anything of a classified nature be allowed to be compromised in any manner. These things are not even allowed in the same room where classified briefings are being held. That is by security regulations and policy that are not meant to be violated at ANY time. In my opinion, this guy is a security risk.

RUSSIAN PREDICTS THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES

This is what the rest of the world is thinking right now. Our adversaries (AKA THE ENEMY) is starting to lick their chops because they see the USA falling apart and are going to revel in the ensuing chaos. As far as blame is concerned, I put full blame on the Congress. I was going to identify the responsible committee here, but when I did the research on it, the list of responsible committees was mind boggling. Copy this link and paste it in to go the the list and see for yourself. The Representatives in each of these committees was supposed to be representing us and doing everything in OUR best interest, NOT THEIRS!! They got greedy to the point where they took their eye off the ball and now here we are. As a nation, about to go bankrupt......A hell of situation that only a miracle and some truly honest, smart people with incredible insight, skill and knowledge. Unfortunately, I don't think we have anyone up to the task. God help us all.........
