Signed by 1.65 million Japanese citizens, the petition was presented to President Clinton on November 22, 1993 by the parents of Yoshihiro Hattori, who had just finished a year-long gun control campaign throughout the United States. The Brady Bill, which mandates a five-day waiting period and background check for those who want to buy a handgun, was enacted by the U.S. Congress just days later. At a December 3, 1993 meeting in Nagoya, Ambassador Mondale thanked the Hattoris for their efforts in America which he said had contributed to the bill's passage. The ambassador gave them a copy of the new law and added that it represented a "first step" toward better gun control in the United States.

With the death of Paul Wellstone, it looks like Walter Mondale will be appointed to take over Wellstone's duties as U.S. Senator from Minnesota.

Bill Clinton will be remembered as the President that cheerfully accepted a petition signed by the citizens of a foreign power urging changes in U.S. domestic policy, changes that would subvert the Constitution of the United States.

Walter Mondale will be remembered as the Ambassador that dutifully served the citizens of Japan, and presented the 1.65 million signature petition to President Clinton. He should have refused it.

Bill Clinton and Walter Mondale were supposed to be serving the American people, and upholding the Constitution of the United States. Instead they served a narrow constituency of foreigners and domestic subversives seeking to undermine the U.S. Constitution.

The Japanese should have limited their political play for gun control to press and PR. But, instead, they used the bumbling idiot, Walter Mondale, and Mondale chose to be the agent of foreign interests.

If you want to know what America would have looked like if Walter Mondale had won the Presidency in 1984, go to a video store and rent the movie Red Dawn or if you can find it, the miniseries Amerika which starred Robert Urich and Kris Kristofferson.

Oh yes. I've seen Red Dawn; the United States being invaded by surrogate Soviets in the form of Cuban and Nicaraguan troops. Firing squads executing American resistance. The Wolverines. Good movie. John Milius.

While Mondale was Carter's VP, it was one thing for Carter's foreign policy to dispose of an embarrassing ally, Anastasio Somoza D., the Nicaraguan dictator, but in doing so, the Carter-Mondale team allowed Cubans, East Germans, Bulgarians, Moslem terrorists and all manner of communist riff-raff to get a toehold in Central America.

You are probably right. Good thing Reagan won.
