Obama Nominates Rabid Anti-gunner to Head the ATF
Gun Owners of America
http://gunowners.org
Monday, November 29, 2010
It was not a good sign that Barack Obama kept his nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives a secret until after the midterm election --- and then quickly announced that anti-gun zealot Andrew F. Traver would be named to fill the slot.
After being blasted before November 2's election by the liberal New York Times for failing to beef up the ATF by appointing a director --- for fear of the wrath of the "gun lobby" --- Obama gets right past the election and, presto chango, a nominee appears. How 'bout that?
And not just any nominee.
As special agent in charge of Chicago's ATF field division, Traver had taken the lead in calling for a ban on semiautomatic firearms.
And Chicago, of course, has been the epicenter of anti-gun government activism. It is not surprising that Traver has also been active in the virulently anti-gun International Association of Chiefs of Police, which has worked to empower Handgun Control-type activists and has commissioned panels to:
* support one-gun-a-month and lock-up-your-safety laws, as well as "ballistic fingerprinting" files on all firearms;
* espouse an "effective" ban on .50-caliber firearms, and a redefinition of "armor-piercing" ammunition that could effectively ban handgun use;
* mandate gun-destruction policies for law enforcement and enhanced funding to go after guns;
* prohibit all private gun sales and make "prohibited persons" out of a much wider variety of persons committing simple misdemeanors;
* back a repeal of the Tiahrt amendment; and,
* allow federal health and safety oversight of the firearms industry (through agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Food and Drug Administration).
It is disconcerting that ANY organization espousing these views would be taken seriously. That an activist in such an organization would be put in charge of the ATF is truly troubling.
ACTION: Contact your Senators. Urge them to support a filibuster of the Traver nomination to head the ATF. You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center to send your Senators the pre-written e-mail message below.
----- Pre-written letter -----
Dear Senator:

Please support a filibuster of the Traver nomination to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Sincerely,

Tired of uncontrolled federal Spending?
Tired for being called a potential terrorist because:
You Love Your Country
You are a Military Veteran
You believe in the end times according to the bible
You believe in the ownership of guns
You support the Constitution
You oppose RFID
You oppose National ID Card
You oppose High Taxes
You oppose the Federal Reserve
You support common sense?
Then by all means, get to the tea party and bring some tea. Except in this case the tea will represent knowledge.
Take fliers and information and hand them out and educate people on the various issues.
We don't need to dump anything in the water, they are already contaminated with enough pharmaceuticals to turn the most sober person to appear as a drug addict.
Those of you who are attending events during the show hour are welcome to call in and give a report.
The old main stream media are trying to cover up the fact that millions are out protesting today, but we will cover it.
######
What happened to the Show Monday?
Well, since my show is done primarily over the Internet as far as the production side goes, I need an Internet connection in order to do the show. Monday, I was not able to gain that access and was not able to do the show. I am working on a system that will help me work around this but until I do...

I know this title will not make a lot of people happy, but I am not here to make people happy, I am here to report the truth.
The truth is, President bush pushed for a stimulus & bailout bill that did nothing more to move every American closer to slavery under a socialist/communist like government.
Obama promised change, yet he is on the same path as Bush.
Why do I call this slavery, after all the government is just helping us out. helping those of us without health care, helping those of us who are loosing our homes and helping those of us who need jobs.
You see, those who have actully studied history would know that We the People are to take care of ourselves. The government especially the Federal Government is only supposed to create laws and represent us. They are not supposed to take care of us. Socialism is nothing more than slavery and when you start seeing more of your pay check, iof you have one being reduced because of taxes then you will know what it is like to live as a modern day slave paying for those things which our government has no legal authority to spend our money on.
Do you want to live as a slave or do you want to manage your own money?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/30/buy-american-rule-stimulus-sparks-protest/
Andrew Rose, a professor of international trade at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, said you could practically set your watch by how quickly protectionist sentiment ratcheted up whenever the economy turned sour.
And in almost all cases, he said, "buy American" provisions are a bad idea.
"It's certainly a bad idea for the rest of the world, and it's a bad idea for us as well," Rose said. "If we only buy American, we'll probably pay more for inferior goods."
