In This Issue: 1. Is All-Out Confiscation Of Your Guns Next? Yesterday's strong turnout of grassroots support for our Second Amendment petition should serve as a reminder to all liberty-loving Americans that we need to be fully engaged in the gun-rights debate. That said, Grassfire is finalizing plans to hand-deliver more than 100,000 "I Support the Second Amendment" petitions to President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Dianne Feinstein as well as House and Senate leaders -- beginning tomorrow, January 30. At a time when the Obama administration, leftists in Congress and the liberal media are aggressively building momentum for restrictive, anti-gun legislation, the timing of this delivery couldn't be better. Grassroots response to Obama/Feinstein efforts to overhaul gun rights, which includes an all-out ban on 158 semi-automatic firearms -- including handguns, and some target rifles, and limiting handgun magazine capacities to just ten rounds -- needs to be strong and unwavering. Americans need to send a loud, definitive message that we won't sit silently as our Second Amendment rights are legislated away! With delivery of our "I Support the Second Amendment" petition now set, Grassfire is asking key members of our team to help dramatically increase its impact through our unique FaxFire system. A simple click, and you can schedule faxes for delivery to key members of the Senate, who are under intense pressure by the President to support this anti-gun legislation. Go here now to schedule your faxes for delivery Wednesday on Capitol Hill. + + Grassroots Action Is Critical To Preserving Your Gun Rights The fact is, restrictive gun-control laws only serve to embolden violent criminals. FOX News reported today that the vast majority of mass shootings over the past decade have taken place in legislated "gun-free zones." What can law-abiding citizens expect when this next batch of laws, if enacted, fails? Is it too much to think that Mr. Obama will make an all-out push for the confiscation of your guns? Make no mistake. The President is no fan of the Second Amendment, even though he wants Americans to believe that he does "skeet shooting all the time" at Camp David. As we reported in our landmark 2012 publication, The BOOK On Obama: His Friends, His Lies & His Plans: From 1994 to 2001, Obama sat on the board of the Joyce Foundation, an anti-gun organization that is the largest funding source for radical anti-gun groups in the country. In 1996, Obama supported a ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns. In 1999, Obama proposed a 500-percent increase in excise taxes on firearms and ammunition. This tax would effectively punish gun owners for buying guns and ammunition. In 2004, Obama supported legislation that would have banned privately owned hunting shotguns, target rifles and black-powder rifles in Illinois. In 2005, Obama voted against legislation to protect homeowners from prosecution in cases where they used a firearm to halt a home invasion. Left unchecked and unchallenged by grassroots Americans, Obama will make a push for your guns. That's why, in concert with tomorrow's petition delivery, we're asking you and other key members of our team to schedule faxes that will amplify this effort on Capitol Hill. Go here to schedule your faxes to arrive in Senate offices tomorrow during our petition delivery. Your friends at Grassfire 2. Join Liberty Counsel In The Court Fight Against ObamaCare Liberty Counsel Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman Please mark these dates on your calendar: February 27 and May 14-17. These days may well signal the beginning of the end of ObamaCare. On November 26, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court directed the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to rehear Liberty Counsel’s case against the grossly misnamed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as ObamaCare. We have now learned that Liberty Counsel's extensive brief on Liberty University v. Geithner is due February 27, and oral arguments will occur the week of May 14-17, 2013. I am gratified that we now have a court schedule and that the path to ending ObamaCare’s implementation is more defined. Time is of the essence to block the ObamaCare mandate from colliding with the free exercise of religion. July 1 is the date for many annual insurance plan renewals and that is when the forced abortion funding mandate will hit the largest number of America’s employers. Our case challenges the “employer mandate” along with the forced funding of abortion in both the employer and individual mandates. It is the most comprehensive of the many lawsuits that have been filed to stop ObamaCare’s outrageous provisions on behalf of companies and institutions. Why is this case so crucially important to every American? Because ObamaCare is a gross offense against our constitutional liberties! It is massively destructive of our basic freedoms. My entire team and I have been deeply touched by the overwhelmingly positive response we have received from friends signing the Amici Book. In just a few days, more than 55,000 concerned Americans have moved forward to stand with us. God bless you! Mathew Staver | |
