OFF ALERT 05.14.12
Tomorrow is election day. If you have not yet dropped off your ballots, please do so. It is too late to mail them.
For those of you who are still undecided, you can view our candidate ratings here. Your vote
really matters.
As you may know, the investigation into the ATF�s corrupt �Fast and Furious� scheme has demonstrated that Obama administration, and especially Attorney General Eric Holder, are willing to tell any lie and hide
any fact to cover up their efforts to smuggle guns to Mexican drug cartels.
House Representative Darrell Issa, who has been investigating this murderous debacle, has introduced a resolution expressing the sense that the House of Representatives have lost confidence in Holder. In other words, they think he�s a liar.
This House Resolution (HR 490) has over 100 co-sponsors, however, not a single member of Oregon�s delegation has signed on. This would be no surprise from Earl Blumenauer and Susan Bonamici both of whom
detest gun rights. But where is NRA endorsed Kurt Schrader, �NRA member� Peter DeFazio and our only Republican, Greg Walden? Are all these guys ok with Eric Holder�s lies?
Our friends at Gun Owners of America have made if very easy for you to contact your House of Representatives member and ask them exactly that question. You can use this link to contact you Congressman and ask
why they have refused to sign on to this important resolution.
On a separate note, we informed you recently that New Mexico had chosen to no longer recognize Arizona CHL�s which are becoming very popular in Oregon due to the reasonable process required for Oregon residents to get them. We have been informed that New Mexico has now changed their minds and are again recognizing Arizona CHL�s.
