This week, Senator Kay Hagan voted to gut the First Amendment rights of groups like GOA by supporting the so-called DISCLOSE Act.
Next week, she will be faced with a vote that will either protect or undermine your Second Amendment rights as the Senate votes on the confirmation of anti-gunner Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court.
Senator Hagan claims to support the Second Amendment and tells folks back home that she is not a mere puppet of the community organizer who occupies the White House. And she wants you to think she is not beholden to anti-gun Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
So, will she stand up for your gun rights and vote against a nominee who quite possibly could become the most anti-gun member of the Supreme Court?
She hasn't said yet.
Remember, she voted for Sonia Sotomayor after being assured that she recognized the Second Amendment as being an individual right.
How did that turn out? In the recent McDonald case, Sotomayor joined the minority dissent that could "find nothing in the Second Amendment's text, history, or underlying rationale that could warrant characterizing it as 'fundamental' insofar as it seeks to protect the keeping and bearing of arms for private self-defense purposes."
Now comes Elena Kagan offering the same empty promises about respecting the Supreme Court's decisions in Heller and McDonald.
Kagan said nothing in her confirmation hearings that would preclude her from gutting the Second Amendment every chance she gets. In fact, everything that's known about Kagan paints a portrait of a forceful, politically-driven gun control advocate.
That being the case, there is NO WAY any senator who claims to support the Second Amendment could vote to confirm Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court!
Please contact Senator Hagan and urge her to OPPOSE Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. If you would like more specifics on Kagan's anti-gun history, please check out our previous Kagan alert at http://gunowners.org/a072010.htm.
Action: Below is a sample prewritten letter that you can use to communicate with Senator Hagan. Please go to her website and paste in the prewritten letter or your own comments urging her to vote against anti-gun extremist Elena Kagan.

Prewritten letter:
Dear Senator Hagan,
The confirmation hearings on Elena Kagan are over. Nothing that was said over the course of the week offered any assurances that Kagan would not be an anti-gun judicial activist.
Senator, you claim to support the Second Amendment and have attempted to assure voters that you do not follow lock-step with the agendas of the President and anti-gun Majority Leader.
Will you stand up for the right to keep and bear arms and vote against the confirmation of Elena Kagan, a nominee who quite possibly could become the most anti-gun member of the Supreme Court?
Last year, you voted for Sonia Sotomayor after being assured that she recognized the individual right to keep and bear arms... then she turned right around and ruled against the Second Amendment in the McDonald case.
Now comes Elena Kagan offering the same empty promises about respecting the Supreme Court's decisions in Heller and McDonald.
Kagan said nothing in her confirmation hearings that would preclude her from gutting the Second Amendment every chance she gets. In fact, everything that's known about Kagan paints a portrait of a forceful, politically-driven gun control advocate.
That being the case, there is NO WAY any senator who claims to support the Second Amendment could vote to confirm Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court!
Please defend my gun rights and vote against Elena Kagan, and insist that the President nominates someone who truly respects the Second Amendment.
Sincerely,
