OT: Government Terror Bills Goes To Conference

[Guest guest]

I know this is off topic, but this is really an important bill which if passed

will have far reaching ramifications with controling citizens of this country.

 

This was just forwarded to me. I haven't heard much on this, but we all need to

be aware, and active on this legislation. This has much more to do with than

just guns!

Government Terror Bills Goes To Conference

Contact Your Representative on the " Government Terror Bill "

 

-- Tell him or her to oppose National ID cards and other Big Brother programs

that could affect gun owners Gun Owners of America E-Mail Alert

703-321-8408 http://www.gunowners.org Friday, October 22, 2004 H.R. 10 -- the

so-called 9/11 bill -- has passed the House by a two-to-one margin. It is now

in conference committee to iron out its differences with the Senate-passed

version (S. 2845). GOA has already alerted you to the most alarming aspects of

the House bill.

 

Just to review, H.R. 10 would:

 

(1) Create a massive government database containing personal information on

every American man, woman and child [section 2173].

This database would be within the exclusive discretion of the bureaucrats, but

could include medical records, confidential financial records, library records,

and gun records.

 

(2) " Standardize, " (that is, nationalize) the process of issuing drivers'

licenses -- an action which takes the final step toward creating a national ID

card [section 3052].

 

This is a huge concern because these federal standards can easily be used by a

future Hillary Clinton administration to keep certain groups of people (such as

gun owners) from receiving these National ID cards. Even the Bush

administration has supported legislation (PATRIOT Acts I and II) that could be

used to designate groups like GOA and NRA as terrorist organizations (see

http://www.gunowners.org/fs0307.htm for details). If the feds can set standards

that keep you from getting a " National ID card, " then your life has just become

very difficult -- as your ability to write a check or buy a gun becomes next to

impossible.

 

(3) Set up a system whereby any employer or industry identified by the Attorney

General would have to submit employment applicants to the government for

approval -- complete with fingerprints or other " biometric identifiers " [section

2142].

 

You can go to http://www.gunowners.org/hs0405a.htm to see a more detailed

analysis as to why these areas should concern gun owners.

 

The Senate bill is better in many respects, but does contain a national ID card

provision quietly added by anti-gun Senator John McCain on the Senate floor when

no one was paying attention.

 

It's also ironic what is NOT in the bill. One would think that a " 9/11 bill "

which seeks to correct shortcomings prior to the terror hijackings of three

years ago would expedite the process for arming pilots. But the bill does

nothing in this regard.

 

This legislation now goes to the House-Senate conference.

 

ACTION: Contact your Representatives and demand that he or she works to delete

the anti-gun, anti-freedom provisions in sections 2173,

3052, and 2142. Even if your legislator isn't on the conference committee, your

message tells him that this bill is UNACCEPTABLE as long as those provisions

remain. You can use the pre-written message below and send it as an e-mail by

visiting the GOA Legislative Action Center at

http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm (where phone and fax numbers are also

available).

 

 

----- Pre-written letter ----- Dear Representative:

 

As it goes to a House-Senate conference committee, you should be aware that H.R.

10 would:

 

(1) create a massive government database containing personal information on

every American man, woman and child; (2) " standardize " (that is, nationalize)

the process of issuing drivers' licenses -- thereby taking the final step toward

creating a national ID card; (3) set up a system whereby any employer or

industry identified by the Attorney General would have to submit employment

applicants to the government for approval -- complete with fingerprints or other

" biometric identifiers. "

 

Please work to get these provisions deleted -- or make sure this totalitarian

monstrosity is scuttled entirely.

 

Sincerely,

 

Health, Hope, Joy & Healing :

May you Prosper, even as your Soul Prospers 3John 2
