NRA Election Re-Cap

The National Rifle Association was highly successful in their support for pro 2nd Amendment legislators up for election/re-election last week. These efforts and the results of a much more pro-2nd Amendment Congress make supporters of the U.S. Constitution sleep much better at night. Consider joining the NRA to add your voice to the millions already supporting the basic Constitutional right of firearms ownership.

Election Re-Cap from the NRA:

Election Day 2010 was a great day for the Second Amendment and National Rifle Association (NRA) members, and positions us well for our future defense, and advancement, of the Second Amendment! The most important fact about Tuesday's elections for gun owners is how many more pro-gun lawmakers we will have in the next legislative session and how many fewer anti-gun lawmakers there will be. Here are some highlights from Tuesday's contests:

U.S. Senate

19 of NRA-Political Victory Fund (PVF) 25 endorsed U.S. Senate candidates won. This marks a pro-gun upgrade of eight Senate seats.

In the 111th Congress, there were 43 A-rated and 34 F-rated Senators. The 112th Congress will contain 50 A-rated (+7) and 33 F-rated Senators (-1).

There will be 12 pro-gun Senate freshmen.

U.S. House

Of the 262 candidates endorsed by the NRA-PVF for the U.S. House, 225 were victorious, for an 85% winning percentage. In every case but one where an NRA-PVF endorsed candidate lost, a pro-gun challenger replaced him.

In the 111th Congress, there were 226 A-rated and 151 F-rated Representatives. The 112th Congress will contain 258 A-rated (+32) and 133 F-rated (-18) Members.

There were pro-gun election upgrades in 27 House districts.

Note: As of today, 9 races remain too close to call.

Gubernatorial & State Legislatures

Of the 21 gubernatorial candidates endorsed by the NRA-PVF, 15 were victorious. (Note: Two races remain too close to call.)

We made major gains in state legislative races, which will position us well in the upcoming legislative sessions next year.

The NRA wants to thank the tens of millions of gun owners who actively volunteered for pro-gun candidates and who Voted Freedom First on November 2nd!

NRA's Right To Hunt And Fish Amendments Adopted In Three States: Voters in Tennessee, Arkansas, and South Carolina made a powerful statement on Tuesday by overwhelmingly voting to include National Rifle Association-backed constitutional amendments to protect America's great, ages-old heritage of hunting and fishing as state constitutional rights.

Obama - Kagan Connection

Received this from a reader:

In our Search for the truth department, we find what I have suspected on many occasions. I went to Snopes to check this out and they said it was false and there were no such dockets so I ‘Googled’ the Supreme Court, typed in ‘Obama-Kagan,’ and guess what? Yep you got it. Snopes lied. Everyone of those dockets are there.

Cowboys comment: I have long received information from people claiming a liberal - democratic links to Snopes. I think a prudent man checks each and every instance and doesn't give any one source a free rein with credibility."

So Here is what I wrote to Snopes:
"Referencing the article about Elena Kagan and Barak Obama dockets: The information you have posted stating that there were no such cases as claimed and the examples you gave are blatantly false. I went directly to the Supreme Court’s website, typed in Obama Kagan and immediately came up with all of the dockets that the article made reference to . I have long suspected that you really slant things but this was really shocking. Thank You, I hope you will be much more truthful in the future."

That being said, I’ll bet you didn't know this.

Kagan was representing Obama in all the petitions to prove his citizenship. Now she may help rule on them.

Folks, this is really ugly. Chicago Politics; and the beat goes on and on and on...

Once again the US Senate sold us out! Well, someone figured out why Obama nominated Elana Kagan for the Supreme Court.... Pull up the Supreme Courts website, go to the docket and search for Obama.

She was the Solicitor General for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural born citizenship. He owed her big time. All of the requests were denied of course. They were never heard. It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it? The American people mean nothing any longer. It's all about payback time for those who compromised themselves to elect someone that really has no true right to even be there.

You can look up some of these hearings and guess what?? Elana Kagan is the attorney representing Obama!!!

Here are some websites of the Supreme Court Docket. Check out these briefs:
You may have to type in the docket # in the search box of the Supreme Court site.the docket number the the two digit number, hypen, then four digit number in the address.

What does all this mean in light of Obama admitting on video that he was born in Kenya? I don't know, but think that this will never get resolved before Obama is defeated in the 2012 elections, and frankly, we have a more pressing issues with the repeal of Obamacare, the defeat of the socialist agenda and the work of the People. Plus, do you really want Joe Biden to be President?

Message from Eric Cantor (R-VA)

Eric Cantor Announces Intention to Stand for Election as House Majority Leader.

We must govern differently - not just differently than the Democrats, but differently from our previous majority as well. I believe that we need to change Washington's culture of spending that has prevailed for far too long.

To that end, I have announced my intention to stand for election as Majority Leader in the 112th Congress, because I want to help lead that effort and bring about these changes.

Please watch the video message below, where I outline some initial thoughts on how a Republican-led Congress should be run.

We will continue the YouCut program in the 112th Congress - to be clear, this means that your ideas and your votes will directly impact, each week, spending cut proposals that are brought to the House floor by the majority party.

We now have the opportunity to turn our words into action and produce real results. Like you, I am anxious to get started.

Regards,

Rep. Eric Cantor
