Colonel Dan, SASS #24025 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Don’t let your Senator fall for his"superficial" changes! Recently, we alerted you to the intense pressure that pro-gun Senators areexperiencing right now. You guys unleashed a torrent of grassroots activism inresponse, and we are starting to get great feedback as to where Senatorscurrently stand. Within the past 48 hours, we have seen clear evidence that West VirginiaSenator Joe Manchin and his staff have openly lied about the status of talkswith two Republican Senators. Manchin is claiming that two Senators who originally opposed hisbackground-registration check amendment would flip their votes if "superficialchanges" were made to the text. But at the request of Gun Owners of America, a prominent constituent spokewith his U.S. Senator in regard to the allegations that Manchin was making aboutthat particular Senator. The constituent reported that his Senator calledManchin's representations a "lie." In a separate case, Manchin claimed to have been in talks with a particularSenate office; but three staffers who would have been part of those talks deniedthe truth of Manchin's public representations. Since Manchin had earlier lied about the status of talks with OklahomaSenator Tom Coburn, a standard operating procedure is becoming clear: Manchin isobsessively lying in order to create a false sense of momentum. Manchin is not the only Bloomberg puppet in the Senate. On Tuesday,California Senator Barbara Boxer filibustered an amendment that would extendfirearm owners' protection in national parks to Army Corps of Engineerprojects. But, in a Senate where a senator's word has traditionally been regarded assacred, the first-full-term West Virginia senator has shown a tremendouswillingness to engage in open fraud in order to destroy the SecondAmendment. Manchin is now circulating a list of bribes he is trying to use to buy offRepublican votes which GOA predicted would happen. Some of these bribes, like anamendment which would supposedly ameliorate the nasty implications of hisamendment for rural states like Alaska, are merely superficial andineffectual. Others, like opening the NICS list to local police, are just massiveviolations of individual rights allowing many names to be inserted into the NICSsystem without due process. ACTION: Click here to contact your U.S. Senators. Warn them that, in violation of the Senate'smost sacred traditions, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is engaging in fraud,lies, and bribes in order to advance gun control. Link to comment
