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.
I need you to stand with me and keep fighting.
Can I count on you to:
--- Call (202-224-4343) or click here to email Senator Rand Paul and say “THANK
YOU.” Thank him for standing up for gun owners and fighting against the
mis-named Patriot Act.
--- Then, call Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at (202) 224-3542 and give him
heck. Tell him that gun owners demand an up or down vote on Rand Paul’s pro-gun
amendment to the Patriot Act.
--- Finally, click here to chip in $15 or $20 to help the National Association
for Gun Rights continue to fight the mis-named Patriot Act.
Thank you for all your calls and effort. Your grassroots activism is vital to
protecting our gun rights.
For Liberty,
