One thing everyone might want to consider is that Bush, Powell, and most of the Republicans support the UN. One thing I realized recently is that whenever these politicians talk about Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Albania, etc. they always talk about disarmament.
This says to me that these politicians do not truly believe that the right to keep and bear arms is a God given right, they say that the Constitution gives us this right and they justify disarming other people because they do not have a 2nd Amendmendment.
Our founding Fathers believed that the purpose of government was to secure God given rights and that when any govenment was destroying those rights or a threat to those rights that the people had the right and the duty to reform or replace that government.
Our own government is a part of the UN and for the most part most of our elected officials support it.
I do not think that writing our elected officials will do much good. I do believe that we should write them anyway to let them know what we think about what they are doing. However the only way to really change things is to vote them out of office. This includes the Republicans as well as Deomocrats.
