Another Obama Nominee Confirmed to the Bench



Dear Friend of the Second Amendment,

Last week, we alerted you to a radical anti-gun nominee President Obama named to the federal bench, Jesse Furman.

To no one�s surprise, Furman is cut from the same judicial cloth as other Obama nominees such as Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

For instance, in an article published a number of years ago�but from which Furman has not distanced himself�he writes that: �Probably the best explanation for the amount of violent crime in the United States is its fascination with guns.�

GOA members flooded the Senate with emails, and many Senators voted against Furman. But Majority Leader Harry Reid kept every single Democrat in lock-step with the Obama agenda, and Furman was confirmed to a lifetime appointment to the bench on a vote of 62-34.

Republicans Jon Kyl and John McCain (AZ), Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander (TN), Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe (ME), Jeff Sessions (AL), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Scott Brown (MA), and Lindsey Graham (SC) joined all Democrats in voting for Furman.

This vote serves to highlight the difficulty in protecting the courts from anti-Second Amendment nominees who come before the Congress. Obama will continue to nominate far left gun grabbers, and Harry Reid will be his go-to guy for confirmation votes.

And if Obama wins a second term, his agenda will become only more brazen. That�s why a top goal of GOA in 2012 is to help elect as many truly pro-gun friends as we can to the U.S. Senate.

It is crucial that Harry Reid does not retain the gavel next year. But it is not enough to just elect members of the opposing party. We need to elect strong candidates who understand the Constitution and who will not bow to pressure from the White House�whoever the occupant may be�or from the leadership of either party in the Congress.

Thank you for standing with GOA as we fight these battles on a daily basis.

Sincerely,

Tim Macy
Vice Chairman

Pretty sad results. I wrote both my Senators last week - not that I influenced them but at least both of them opposed Furman.

Way to go (R)s.

Not.

What a pathetic bunch of losers they are. At least the (D)s primarily stand for something. The (R)s, as we arw seeing, rollover for whomever pays them the most.

Good dogs...sit...beg...roll-over....lick your crotch (no balls there).

What a surprise .......... NOT..

There's another batch of horn-faced pols that need to be tossed out at the next election..

Wonder which religion he is ?

Makes me wonder if Liiiisa is going to get another NRA A...

If she does not get an F the NRA will never see another dime from me.

Not to mention the fact the NRA gave Begich an A-...
