Thanks for sharing that message. Lately, when it comes to the NRA, as Truman said, "... you'll have to say I'm from Missouri - you have to show me."

Also see post 77 above. The key is fighting to keep any bill from reaching the President's desk.

I read that and I didn't want to believe it. Then I realized that I was doing a disservice to myself in being in such denial.

When the CCW law was proposed in Texas, Gov. Richards said she wouldn't sign it even with if the voters wanted it by referendum. Bush said he would sign it if it passed by referendum. So Bush scored some high marks by bowing to the will of the People. He didn't sign it because he was Pro-gun.

That lead to discussions in our household between by son and I. I said that "As a Good Polititian" Bush bowed to the Will of the People. My son called him a coward because he didn't stand up for what's right.

This is going to be a landmark for the Bush's Presidency. Will he act as a "smart" politician or defend the written law in the Bill of Rights?
