Alert 12-8-13: Schumer Exploits 'Plastic Gun' Myth to Ban Ordinary Guns--House Republicans hand Schumer chance to ban
thousands of ordinary guns.
What is an “undetectable gun”? It isn't what gun
control-pushing politicians like
In fact, airports now use “passive body scanners” that detect
firearms regardless of what they're made of. And ammunition, made of lead and
brass, has never been “invisible”. Apparently Chuck Schumer thinks a gun
without ammunition is somehow a threat to national security.

ACTION ALERT--December 8-9, 2013
Marketplace Fairness Act--A flawed internet sales tax bill is quietly working
its way through Congress. The so-called Marketplace Fairness Act would allow
states to force out-of-state online retailers to collect sales taxes on their
behalf. Like similar proposals to tax the Internet, this bill has serious
logistical, economic and constitutional problems, and it needs to be stopped.
This internet sales tax legislation would
have a huge impact on small businesses, which would be forced to comply with
9,600+ sales tax jurisdictions across all 50 states that are ever-changing. This
would be a huge administrative nightmare, leading many small businesses to shut
their doors.
This tax bill has already sailed through the Senate. That means it’s up
to the House of Representatives to stop this misguided legislation from seeing
the President desk. Your Representatives need to hear from activists like you.
Take Action Today. Tell your elected officials to OPPOSE this flawed internet sales tax bill.

Alert 12-8-13: Schumer Exploits 'Plastic Gun' Myth to Ban Ordinary Guns--House Republicans hand Schumer chance to ban
thousands of ordinary guns.
What is an “undetectable gun”? It isn't what gun
control-pushing politicians like New
York senator Chuck Schumer want you to believe it is.
In fact, airports now use “passive body scanners” that detect
firearms regardless of what they're made of. And ammunition, made of lead and
brass, has never been “invisible”. Apparently Chuck Schumer thinks a gun
without ammunition is somehow a threat to national security.
The real
threat to national security are politicians who rabidly attack constitutional
freedom. Our Republican “friends” in the US House have done us no favor by
passing a bill to extend the outdated and useless “undetectable gun” ban.
Now
Schumer and his anti-gun majority of Democrats in the US Senate can use it as a
vehicle to tack on provisions that ban guns made with any non-metallic parts
– even
wooden stocks!
Their
strategy appears to delay the current ban until after the 2014 election, when
Democrats will be more willing to risk their careers voting in favor of gun
bans Americans don't want.
The
current ban, set to sunset after 10 years on December 9th needs
to sunset. If only Chuck Schumer's tenure would sunset with it...
IMMEDIATE
ACTION REQUIRED!
· Email AND Call NC
Senators Kay Hagan and Richard Burr. Tell them the useless “undetectable gun”
ban must be allowed to sunset.
· Call the two
Senate leaders: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell. Tell them the pointless ban must sunset.

Alert: In hiring a
McCain open-borders expert, Boehner shows his commitment to forcing American
workers to compete with millions more foreign workers
IF YOU WANT TO EXPRESS AN IMMEDIATE -- AND FREE
-- OPINION TO CONGRESS ABOUT SPEAKER BOEHNER'S LATEST AMNESTY MOVE, YOU'LL FIND
THE LINKS IN THE "RED ACTION BOX" BELOW.
House Speaker Boehner's latest staff addition indicates he plans
to battle us throughout 2014 in trying to pass the amnesty he so much craves.
Adding Sen. John McCain's former chief of staff to his staff
today signals that Boehner is not ready to bow to the majority wishes of voters
who believe the U.S.
does NOT have a labor shortage and does NOT need to add millions more foreign
workers to the legal laborforce.
Russell Berman of The Hill was clear on the significance of
Boehner's new hire: Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has
hired a veteran expert on immigration policy, a move that could signal a
renewed House effort to act on the issue in 2014.
Rebecca Tallent, director of immigration policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center, will start her new job as assistant to the Speaker on Wednesday. . .
Tallent previously served as chief of staff to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and was deeply involved in efforts to pass immigration reform in 2006 and 2007.
Advocates for immigration reform cheered the hiring of Tallent, viewing it as a sign that Boehner was serious about pursuing legislation in 2014.
Many of us have wondered if Boehner has just made this hire
merely as a gesture to appease corporate lobbyists who are distraught about
ending this year with nothing to show for the $1.5 billion spent over the last
four years to pass "comprehensive immigration reform." Perhaps he
knows that the new hire won't have any success in selling an amnesty to the 118
Republicans needed to allow Boehner to have the majority of his party agree to
let him bring an amnesty to the House floor.
But one of the strongest Republican amnesty supporters suggests
to The Hill that Tallent wouldn't have taken the job unless she thought she
could do for Boehner what she has done for McCain in getting amnesties to floor
votes:
"She is bright, knowledgeable.
She is as good as anybody in the city. Period. End of story," Rep. Mario
Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) said. "It's a huge, huge get for Speaker Boehner. . .
She's not going to be doing this if it's going to be a waste of her time."
Our Chris Chmielenski posted an informative and alarming blog
about Tallent's background and her comments this year supporting massive
increases in lifetime work permits for foreign citizens.
Our concern is not with Tallent personally. She has her own
reasons for spending more than a decade writing legislation with mass amnesties
and increases in foreign workers and in promoting them.
Our concern is with Speaker Boehner. After months of saying that he has no interest in anything
like the Senate's S. 744 bill, why has he hired as his chief immigration aide
somebody whose career is based on pushing bills like S. 744?
This is what I have been telling the media about what the new
hire means:
It shows that Speaker Boehner remains
committed to the corporate lobbies' quest for more foreign workers to hold down
the wages of their American workers. His new hire has done almost nothing the
last decade except work for giant increases in foreign labor. But Boehner still
has to persuade at least 118 Republican House Members that their constituents
would be okay with an expansion of immigration during the seventh year of high
unemployment.

Yes, grassroots Americans in 2013 defeated Boehner, Obama,
McCain, Ryan, Rubio and Schumer in their drive for comprehensive immigration
increases and amnesty.
But that was this year.
The only thing that stopped Boehner from bringing amnesty to the
House floor and moving it to Pres. Obama's desk was his fear of the majority of
House Republicans who were pushed so hard by the grassroots to stand up to
Boehner and the greedy corporate open borders lobby.
That will be the only thing that protects American workers in
2014.
Make sure your Members of Congress understand that you aren't
giving up your anti-amnesty fight any more than Boehner apparently isn't giving
up his pro-amnesty fight.
Thanks,
Roy Beck
