Got this from the NRA ILA via e-mail. Some of you guys might have it already, but I figure I post it just in case.

LEGISLATIVE ALERT --

CO-SPONSORS NEEDED FOR H.R. 2037
CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TODAY!!!

27 states have passed lawsuit preemption laws -- statutes prohibiting
greedy trial lawyers from filing reckless, nonsensical lawsuits aimed at
bankrupting the firearm and ammunition industries -- we need to extend
this common-sense reform at the federal level.

H.R. 2037 seeks to protect our Second Amendment rights by preventing
firearms and ammunition manufacturers from being sued for the criminal
misuse of their lawful products by third parties.  Specifically, H.R.
2037 would amend the Act that established the Department of Commerce,
creating a protection for manufacturers and sellers in the firearms and
ammunition industry from court-imposed restrictions on interstate or
foreign commerce.

Your U.S. Representative has not yet signed on as a co-sponsor for this
much-needed legislation, and needs to hear from you today!

Please contact your Representative from the list below and urge him to
become a co-sponsor of H.R. 2037.  

To reach the U.S. House of Representatives` main switchboard, call
(202) 225-3121.  Then, ask to be transferred to your Congressman`s office.  
For your Representative`s direct office phone number and e-mail address
, please use the "Write Your Reps" feature found at NRA-ILA`s website
-- www.NRAILA.org.  Go directly to this feature by using this address -

Be sure to encourage your family, friends, and fellow firearm owners to
contact their Representative as well and encourage him to co-sponsor
H.R. 2037!
