Imagine this scenario. It's June of 2007, and the House of Representatives is getting ready to vote on renewing the semi-auto Gun ban which sunset three years before.
You've called your Congressman and asked him to oppose the gun ban. He assures you that he is with you, and in fact, he carries through With his promise and votes "no." But the ban still passes narrowly.
The reason this scenario could occur during the next two years -- Whether it's the semi-auto ban or the Brady expansion act or a gun Show ban -- is because the REAL VOTE for killing gun control will Occur on January 4, 2007.
On that day, the House of Representatives will vote for Speaker of The House. On that day, your Congressman will help determine which Bills get pushed to the floor for a vote and, likewise, which bills Will die in committee. That is the power of the House Speaker. That Is the power that Nancy Pelosi will have, should she be elected to The top post in the House.
And that's why Gun Owners of America is telling every Representative In Congress that GOA will be rating the vote for Speaker on January 4. A vote in favor of Nancy Pelosi will be counted as an ANTI-GUN Vote. A vote for Pelosi will be considered as a vote for gun Control.
The democratic congresswoman from California is rabidly anti-gun. She is an avowed socialist who is F- rated by Gun Owners of America.
Consider that Pelosi was one of only 99 representatives who voted IN FAVOR of gun confiscation in July. That vote saw more than 300 Congressmen cast their ballots to prohibit federal agents from Stealing firearms from law-abiding citizens. It was truly an Overwhelming majority who supported the Second Amendment rights of Americans.
But in that July vote, Nancy Pelosi joined the hard core left in Congress to SUPPORT gun confiscation. She actually voted to let Government agents burst into your home and steal your firearms!
That's the woman who will be determining which bills will be voted on Next year in the House of representatives. Yes, there still may be a Majority of congressmen who oppose the outright gun confiscation of Gun owners' guns.
But in Nancy Pelosi's new Congress, a bill to prohibit such gun Confiscation will never see the light of day! She will decide what Gun bills come to the floor.
And that's why we need your help. Gun Owners will be telling each Congressman that the vote for the Speaker of the House is a "ratings Vote." A vote for a gun grabber like Pelosi will be considered an Anti-Second Amendment vote.
But we need you to back us up on this. Tell them that you agree with This strategy. We're not asking that Democrats vote for a Republican For Speaker. To quote a common proverb, "Hell will freeze over Before that happens."
All we're asking is that the House does not elevate a committed Supporter of gun confiscation to the top leadership spot in that Chamber.
This vote will be especially tough for some of the newly elected, So-called Blue Dog Democrats who campaigned as pro-gun before the Recent election. But that's okay. Let's find out how pro-gun these New congressmen really are.
