The Second Amendment to our Constitution is under attack. As North Korea threatens the United States with nuclear attack, our President is busy lobbying for gun control measures. This, if nothing else, should show you how serious he and the rest of the elite progressive liberals are about dismantling our Constitution and abolishing our personal freedom.
The time for action is upon us. Please, if you have never before been politically active, now is the time to do so. We have to make our voices heard. We must put pressure on our elected officials to stand against this unprecedented, tyrannical power grab. We must demand, as citizens of the United States of America, that our will be enforced.
Too often, we Americans are complacent and apathetic when it comes to being involved in our political process. Sure, we may vote, but often we see that action as the end of our democratic responsibility. But voting is only the first step. If we do not hold to the fire the feet of our elected representatives, how can we be certain that they will represent our interests?
Already, states are passing unconstitutional laws restricting gun purchases and ownership, and federal legislation will soon be on the floor of the Senate. If you're reading this, then you know, as do I, that we represent the majority of American people. The problem is that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and our opponents are being much more vocal than we are. We can no longer afford to be the Silent Majority. We must be as ardent and vocal as those who would wish to steal our precious liberties like a thief in the night.
Tweeting and posting on Facebook is all fine and dandy, but, more than likely, Senators and Representatives don't follow you on Twitter, nor are they your friends on Facebook. You must use other avenues to contact them and make your wishes known.
Here is one such avenue. Go to the Gun Owners of America page, here: http://bit.ly/XsNtqK . Scroll down and you will find a form letter you can send to your Senator, asking them to join with Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee as they attempt to filibuster the proposed gun legislation. It's easy as pie. Simply select your state and it will automatically send the email to your Senators. Or you can contact your Senators directly.
Also, if you own guns, please join the NRA and GOA if you haven't already. I'll admit I've been as complacent as anyone else. I've owned guns for years, but have only recently taken the time to join these organizations. I know, shame on me. But I DID join, and I implore any of you who have yet to do so to act now.
Some people think that if only the universal background check passes, then it will be a victory for us. Wrong. A universal background check will lead to a national registry, which will in turn lead to confiscation, as sure as I'm typing this right now. The background check is more sinister than the proposed ban on assault rifles or high-capacity magazines, but it is being presented to appear perfectly harmless.
It is not.
What it boils down to is this: I am BEGGING you, fellow Patriots, to give just a few minutes of your time to make sure that your elected representatives hear your voice. Pledge to be more active in the political process. If we don't start now, this very minute, we risk losing the freedoms that our forefathers fought and died for. This is the GREATEST NATION on the face of the Earth. Let's do all we can to assure that it remains that way.
