Temporary Victory
I’m happy to report that we’ve scored an important, albeit temporary, victory.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had planned to force a vote on the outrageous DISCLOSE Act — which could silence the National Association for Gun Rights and hundreds of other conservative groups not protected by the NRA’s sellout — today.
But over the last three days politicians and the NRA got a thumping from liberty-loving folks like you!
Now Politico.com is reporting that Pelosi has pulled the DISCLOSE Act off the calendar and there will not be a vote today.
This is a sure sign that our grassroots pressure is working.
But we cannot ease up, not even for a moment. Even if you’ve already taken multiple actions, I urge you to contact both your Congressman and the NRA today and insist this rotten deal be buried for good.
Our capitol hill sources say that while the vote on the outrageous DISCLOSE Act may have been pulled for today, Pelosi and her anti-gun, anti-freedom allies will look for the first sign of weakness to force the DISCLOSE Act through Congress.
While we have momentum on our side, we must continue to put pressure on Congress to oppose the outrageous, anti-freedom DISCLOSE Act.
The more pressure we continue to put on Congress, the more likely we are to continue to bog down the DISCLOSE Act.
That is why it’s so important that you call your Congressman and demand that they publicly oppose the anti-freedom DISCLOSE Act.
The DISCLOSE Act is a direct attack on your First Amendment right to petition Congress and mention legislation or voting records during election season.
You and I both know that election season is the best time to hold politicians accountable for their anti-gun votes. The DISCLOSE Act is designed to silence grassroots conservative activists LIKE YOU and protect the fat-cat politicians in Washington.
Without free speech, our Second Amendment rights are certain to perish.
Understand that the DISCLOSE Act will affect every political organization you belong to, on any and every issue. It’s destruction of liberties is without parallel in American history, and sure to lead to tyranny.
Now, until this week, the DISCLOSE Act appeared doomed, but the NRA struck a deal with anti-gunners Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer (the Senate sponsor) and Harry Reid. In exchange for exemptions from the bill’s outrageous and expensive disclosure requirements, the NRA now tacitly supports the anti-free speech DISCLOSE Act.
Here’s what you can do to help keep the heat on:
• Please, take a few moments today and call your member of Congress at (202) 224-3121. Demand that he respect the rights of gun owners and publicly oppose the DISCLOSE Act (H.R. 5175).
• Call the NRA at (800) 672-3888 and demand that they knock it off and stop pandering to the liberals. Tell them to denounce the DISCLOSE ACT for what it is, an attack on both our First and Second Amendment rights.
It is vital that we keep the pressure up. We may have won an important, temporary victory, but the DISCLOSE Act is far from dead.
Please call your member of Congress at (202) 224-3121 and demand that he publicly oppose the draconian DISCLOSE Act (H.R. 5175).
Thank you for your dedication to preserving our rights. Your continued perseverance may be the only thing that stands between us and the anti-gun majorities in Washington.
For liberty,

Disclose Act Will Choke First Amendment
The Neomarxist behind the Obama/FTC intend to drown out the voice of America with Obama/Marxist propaganda, enforcing new regulations that will cripple bloggers and other alternative media from disseminating information, free speech that grass-roots among other organizations depend on to make informed decisions. Obama’s support of the DISCLOSE Act confirmed what many Americans already believed; that Obama and certain Democrats in Congress intend to strangle the flow of information. If Obama and his leftists associations get their way, our Children will be brainwashed by Obama’s one-sided propaganda at school, through Obama controlled Radio, TV and Obama media policies that restrict the free flow of information. Historically when communists attempted or took over a country, one of their first steps was to control the media and all forms of public communications to control Civilian populations. When Russia took over Hungary, it immediately took control of the Radio stations to thwart Citizen resistance and to psychologically control the People. Considering the Obama administration’s obsession with controlling all media, one might ask, are some of the same persons inside and outside U.S. Government working with the Obama administration to push the Disclose Act and other censorship regulations, involved in causes that promulgate overthrow of the United States? While some in the Obama Government say they support dismantling capitalism, brick by brick, does their endgame call for destruction of the United States? If it does, what should Americans do to stop it? Does the Obama administration’s proposed censorship of free speech e.g., the Disclose Act threaten National Security? In other countries where members of political parties and ideological extremists attempted or succeeded in this kind of forced censorship, forbidding Citizens to receive information, they have been arrested for treason among other crimes. The Obama administration appears intended to curtail Americans’ right to know, restrict American’s right to communicate via the Internet and the Obama administration admits they want to pay writers in newspapers and other media to covertly propagandize their point of view. Is this not treason? Top CZAR Cass Sunstein prepared a 2008 paper that proposed spying on Americans, infiltrating groups and organizations to obstruct Free Speech, disrupt the exchange of ideas and disseminate false information to neutralize Americans that might question government.

The majority of Americans oppose military governments. But increasingly during the last six months, more Americans quietly state they would trust the U.S. Military running U.S. Government temporarily over extremists in Obam’s government; that they would support a quasi Civilian/military form of government temporarily provided their civil and constitutional rights were protected and importantly, all leftists extremists in U.S. Government were deposed. This recent change of attitude by Americans might be explained by the fact they can relate to their U.S. Military and find nothing in common with Obama and his extreme leftist associations and supporters. Increasingly Americans appear to fear the Obama government more than the idea of having the U.S. Military temporarily run U.S. Government. Additionally Obama’s refusal to secure America’s Mexican border might have contributed to Americans identifying with a quasi/U.S. military government over an Obama government that won’t protect Border States from foreign invaders. The number of Marxists in the U.S. is small, but having them control any part of our government is repugnant to most Americans that believe it not in the best interest of our economy, national defense and National Security. Considering the direction America is going economically, more Americans are afraid that if things collapse, Obama might use the U.S. Military against U.S. Citizens; that should things collapse a quasi Civilian/U.S. Military government not the Obama administration should run America. This is mentioned only to note there is a strong wind blowing across America, that is howling enough Obama.
In the round, I chime into this entry with a “HERE HERE!”. But I do disagree that without the first amendement the second will surely perish. The right of self-defense is God-given, and the Federal government is not God (honest). What would perish is the relative safety and ease we now enjoy to excersize our rights, without having to earn it by risking life or limb. Like it’s said ,”Freedom isn’t free”. No man deserving freedom simply surrenders liberty without a struggle. So how bad do you want it? You can always die free.
