Even Though Manchin Says His Expanded Background Checks Bill Will Fail, Keep Calling Your Senators

Despite what Manchin has said, keep calling your Senators.

A tactic to get people (who will call their senators to tell them they do not support Manchin's bill) to ease up on calling their senators???

Hmmm....

The phones rang off the hook on the past McLame/Grahamnesty/Shamnesty bill.

Is it possible that some (Dems or Republicans) don’t want a repeat?

Just wondering...

He said that his amendment will fail, not the bill itself.

The vote on the main bill will not happen today. This is far from over.

Even if that POS fails my Senators and Reps are going to hear plenty from me until I can’t see above the dirt anymore.

I would, but calling my senaturds is an exercise in futility. The kneepad twins, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine are only interested in serving Obama and the DNC.

Sorry for the conflation. I meant to say amendment.

But I still wonder if some want to try and lessen the calls/emails/faxes - concerning this bill - in the short or long term.

If I contact Isakson again they will come after me for stalking. I think he has gotten the picture by now. If he votes for this POS his career is toast.

Ah, let’s see, what did these “CONGRESS OF BABOONS” name their bill to denude the 2nd amendment? Oh yeah, “TO PROTECT & DEFEND THE 2ND AMENDMENT”. Yeah right, I love the way they use words to completely do the opposite. The 2nd amendment doesn’t need “PROTECTING” nor “DEFENDING”. However, if the 2nd amendment ever needed “PROTECTING” and “DEFENDING”, it’s from these “CONGRESS OF BABOONS” in Wahsington.

I agree wholeheartedly. Seriously, would anyone allow them unsupervised access to small children or animals?

“I walk in here and see that you have eaten half my cats? How do you explain yourself?”

“Was I not supposed to do that? Besides, I wasn’t here, I didn’t do anything, you can’t prove anything, and most of the cats tasted spoiled, anyway! Vote for me, because the other guy is worse!”

My two Texas Senators are solid, Cruz and Cornyn.

I did drop a line to the “alleged” tea-party? Conservative? Senators Ayotte and Flake who are on the fence ATM, and both voted for cloture.

While all eyes are on Boston, anti-gun laws are moving in Washington DC.
