I got this and thought that I would pass it on
PatriotPetitions.US has launched a national campaign entreating
> our President, House of Representatives and Senate to reject
> legislation renewing the 1994 Clinton-Feinstein-Schumer Gun-Control
> Act schedule to sunset on 13 September 2004. Please read this
> brief description of the campaign and let your voice be heard on
> this matter.
>
> Though House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says "The votes in the House
> are not there" to renew the measure, Feinstein and Schumer will
> press for a roll call vote in order to politicize this legislation
> prior to the upcoming presidential election.
>
> For thirty years, the Left has used the "safety" claim as
> the foundation for its strategy of "incremental encroachment"
> on the Second Amendment to achieve its ultimate goal of gun
> confiscation, and the Feinstein-Schumer legislation preventing
> law-abiding citizens from owning semi-automatic rifles (so-called
> and decidedly misnamed "assault weapons") for lawful purposes, is
> no exception. Such laws claim, ostensibly, to protect law-abiding
> citizens. Of course, only law-abiding citizens comply with these
> restrictions -- and at their own peril. Criminals don't care
> if the weapon they are using comport with the 23,000 federal,
> state and local gun restrictions already on the books.
>
> Ms. Feinstein made clear her real objective after passage of
> Feinstein-Schumer in 1994: "If I could have gotten 51 votes in
> the Senate...for an outright ban, picking up every one of them,
> Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in, I would have done it."
>
> Reject renewal of the 1994 Clinton-Feinstein-Schumer Gun-Control
> Act!
>
> Please join fellow Patriots on the frontlines in defense of our
