"Have you heard about 'Operation #EFAD' yet?"
"Author Matthew Bracken is going to make copies of his novel 'Enemies Foreign and Domestic' available starting [3/1] for free Kindle download. It's part of a larger project ... to help spread the word about not just his book, but as an actual tool to put federal officials and the 'mainstream media' on notice that their actions will be remembered, particularly the corruption of and complicity with Fast and Furious 'gunwalking,' and that there stands a reserve of patriotic Americans committed to guarding against growing corruption and tyranny, and to spreading the truth." ...

"'While it is unlikely that a severely restrictive international gun control treaty could be ratified by two-thirds of the United States Senate, there are many mechanisms by which unratified treaties can work their way into U.S. law. For example, some eminent international disarmament experts have taken the position that the president of the United States may announce that a treaty has entered into force, and thereby become the law of the United States even if the U.S. Senate has never voted to ratify the treaty [emphasis ours]. ...'" ... |

"In this election year, as many as five million eligible voters will lose their right to vote. It’s the result of new nationwide campaigns to limit voting rights. Meanwhile, gun rights and the number of gun owners is growing."
"As the presidential campaign heats up, we expect no issue will be off the table. And as always, the argument over gun rights and gun ownership is sure to fire off some heated debates. It’s an issue discussed time and time again, the sanctity of the constitution and the second amendment sure to be invoked. But when it comes to another amendment, or rather – a few of them – surrounding the very making of a democracy and the right to vote…that discussion is had far less often." ... |
