09.22.10 VOTE SCHEDULED ON NRA SANCTIONED GAG LAW.

NRA DARLING HARRY REID SCHEDULES VOTE TO GAG OPPONENTS.

The clock is ticking on the current Senate’s ability to ram its big government agenda down our throats, and now Harry Reid is trying one last time to silence groups like OFF while giving a free pass to the NRA with whom he cut a deal. (Reid had received almost $10,000.00 from NRA in the last two elections.)

The “Disclose Act” is scheduled for a vote tomorrow and it’s designed to protect the establishment while ending the ability of grass roots groups to engage in political speech.

Reid has scheduled a cloture vote on S. 3628, the DISCLOSE Act (which should be known as “the Establishment Protection Act”), for this Thursday.
Please contact Senator Jeff Merkley at (202) 224-3753 and Senator Ron Wyden at (202) 224-5244 right away and demand they OPPOSE DISCLOSE on every vote – including cloture.

This terrible and certainly unconstitutional legislation was tacitly approved by the NRA when they were given a “carve out” from it by Reid. The Democrats KNOW it’s unconstitutional and KNOW it will be overturned, but not in time for the upcoming elections, and that is their plan.

This bill will infringe on our members’ privacy and limit our ability to mobilize grassroots activists while exempting the NRA.

The big government supporters are scrambling to act before many of them lose their seats in November. They are trying to gag any organization that opposes them by lying to you about what this bill does. It’s not about “big corporations” it’s about groups like OFF, Gun Owners of America and activist organization across the country.

Wyden and Merkley are among the most anti-liberty Senators in the country. But they still need to know where you stand.
Please contact Senator Jeff Merkley at (202) 224-3753 and Senator Ron Wyden at (202) 224-5244 right away and demand they OPPOSE DISCLOSE on every vote – including cloture.
