Our Constitution gives each of us rights that the government cannot infringe on! Congressman Dan Newhouse has been a fierce protector of our Second Amendment rights in D.C., which is why he has been endorsed by the NRA. But once again we see our constitutional rights under attack, this time by initiative Initiative 1639. This initiative has no public safety value - it just threatens the rights of responsible gun owners. If one of our constitutional rights, like the right to bear arms, can be stripped so easily, the rest can be stripped just as easily. We must protect our constitutional rights! We must vote “no” on I-1639 and yes to re-elect Dan Newhouse. |

"Our Constitution gives each of us rights..."
Every time I read or hear this I feel like throwing up. This particular nugget of ignorance is widely prevalent in the U.S., and it is fundamentally (though not obviously) dangerous. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
