Got this from the NRA.....thought I would post it here. I just finished contacting everyone on the list although only one of the representatives covers the district I live in. Hey, the more the better, IMO.
URGENT ALERT: ASK SENATOR KYL AND YOUR
REPRESENTATIVE TO SIGN THE BRIEF AGAINST THE D.C. GUN BAN TODAY!
As the most critical Second Amendment case of our lifetimes goes before the Supreme Court, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) is gathering signatures for a “friend of the court” brief by Members of Congress. And we need your support to back up this effort, today.
The case is District of Columbia v. Heller-the case in which several District of Columbia residents have challenged the District’s laws that prohibit handgun ownership and armed self-defense in the home. This brief is an opportunity to show strong congressional support for the Second Amendment as protecting an individual right to keep and bear arms—not just a “right” to bear arms while serving in a government militia.
Sen. Hutchison’s brief points out the many occasions-from 1866 to 2005-when the Congress has spoken in favor of the Second Amendment as protecting the rights of individuals, and has taken action to protect those rights by law. Congress has also voted repeatedly to repeal the D.C. gun ban.
When Congress speaks, the Supreme Court listens. Every Senator and House member who supports individual rights should step forward to be heard by signing this brief. The brief is due in just a few days, so we need your help today.
Please call and email your Senators and Representative today and ask them to sign on to this critically important brief, which will be a key part of the legal battle to protect the Second Amendment in the Supreme Court.
