			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:</h5>
<h5>&#8220;A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.&#8221;</h5>
<h3>Former UN Ambassador John Bolton cautions gun owners<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-586" title="john_bolton_01" src="http://franklincountypatriots.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/john_bolton_01.jpg" alt="john_bolton_01" width="367" height="242" /></h3>
<p> Submitted By Dana</p>
<p>Those at the U.N are acting as if The Arms Trade Treaty is  just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states but, without a doubt, the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.&#8221;   In other words this is the first step toward total gun confiscation. </p>
<p>Bolton continues &#8220;These are very dangerous times we are entering into.  I fear if the Obama Administration turns out to be one term, they must move rapidly during this narrow window of opportunity.  Obama wants to avoid the 2nd Amendment fight by using executive agreement powers that won&#8217;t require Congressional approval at all.  U.N. countries like Japan, Australia, Britain, the Netherlands, Canada,  and others are secretly meeting behind closed doors to disarm you.&#8221;</p>
<p>While rejected by the Bush administration,  the Obama administration has joined 152 other countries in support of the Arms Treaty Resolution.  Nineteen states, including  China, Cuba, Egypt, India, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, and Venezuela, abstained.  Zimbabwe was the only state that voted against it.   If this resolution is passed by the U.N. General Assembly, it must be ratified by each nation.</p>
<p>Hillary Clinton will push for passage of this treaty before the next U.N. conference date set in 2012.    Do we really believe we have that long?  After all, while we were watching the gulf oil spill, Hillary <a href="http://www.tcunation.com/forum/topics/urgent-while-were-all-watching" target="_blank">signed the treaty</a>.</p>
<h4>AN INTERNATIONAL TREATY IS FOREVER AND WILL UNSURP OUR CONSTITUTION</h4>
<p>If ratified, this treaty will enact tougher licensing requirements, confiscate and destroy all unauthorized civilian firearms;   ban the sale, trade and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons;  and, create an international gun registery which will set the stage for full gun confiscation.  <a href="http://www.resistnet.com/profiles/blogs/un-small-arms-treaty" target="_blank">Here</a> is a rticle from November 09 discussing the US&#8217;s intentions. and the <a href="http://www.un.org/disarmament/convarms/ArmsTradeTreaty/html/ATT.shtml" target="_blank">annoucnment</a> from the U.N. about plans to develop the treaty. </p>
<h4>WHO&#8217;S   BEHIND  DISARMAMENT!</h4>
<p>Amnesty  International  &#8211; believes gun owners are primitive</p>
<p>International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) &#8211; based in London, England, with more than 700 organizations working against proliferation of small arms and light weapons.  They are funded by numerous countries such as the UK, The  Netherlands,  Norway,  Sweden,  Switzerland, Germany, and Canada.  They also receive funds from the Ford,   the Compton , The Rockefeller,  and Samuel Rubin Foundations as well as  Ploughshares Fund and Christian Aid.    <a href="http://www.iansa.org/" target="_blank">IANSA </a>is run by Rebecca Peters who lead the gun confiscation movement in Australia.  She is determined to do the same to the American gun owners.  Working for the Open Society Institute,  funded by <a href="http://www.soros.org/" target="_blank">George Soros</a>,  she has an endless supply of funding. </p>
<p>The United Nations Children&#8217;s Fund (Uniceft) is also a partner in gun confiscation.  Money <strong>you</strong> donate, that is <strong>supposed</strong> to be used to help children living in poverty, is being used to disarm us.  </p>
<p>Please take a few minutes and view this video on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDMeDmV0ufU">UN Small Arms Control.</a></p>
<p>A list of  Companies, Celebrities, Individuals,  and Church Organizations that belong to,  or contribute to,  anti-gun organizations include  Blue Cross- Blue Shield, Time, Sprint, Bell Atlantic, Starbucks, ABC, NBC, Disney, AARP, Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s, GEICO, Gateway Computers, Hallmark Card,  to name only a few.  The rest can be found at <a href="http://www.pinkpistols.org/antigun.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<h4>IF WE LOSE OUR GUN RIGHTS, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">WE WILL HAVE NO RIGHTS LEFT</span>!</h4>

<p>Friday May 14, former Gov. Sarah Palin warns NRA members that Obama and his Democrates would gut the 2nd Amendment except for the political backlash; according to <a href="http://www.chinapost.com.tw/international/americas/2010/05/16/256746/Palin-says.htm" target="_blank">The China Post</a>.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-559 alignright" title="Obama" src="http://franklincountypatriots.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Obama.jpg" alt="Obama" width="205" height="302" /></p>
<h2>The President’s Oath</h2>
<h2><em>“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office</em> <em>of President of the </em><em>United States</em><em>, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the </em><em>United States</em><em>.”</em></h2>
<p> </p>
<p>I think what he meant to say was:</p>
<p>“I do so solemnly swear that I will as President of the United States faithfully decimate the office, and to the loyalty of my comrades, demolish, exterminate, and extinguish the Constitution of the United States.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After the emergency Stimulus, Taking over the Auto Industry and Banking, forced Healthcare, excessive taxes, proposed Amnesty and the threat of seizure of your 401k and IRA accounts, what’s next?  <strong>GUN CONTROL!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Let’s view Obama’s Second Amendment Record</strong></p>
<p>He was a member of the Board of the Joyce Foundation, the leading source of funding for anti-gun organizations.</p>
<p>While in the Illinois Senate he <strong>voted</strong> to ban and confiscate “assault weapons” which included most semi auto rifles, shotguns, and single and double bbl. Shotguns.</p>
<p><strong>Voted</strong> to allow reckless lawsuits against gun manufacturers designed to bankrupt them.</p>
<p><strong>Voted</strong> to ban almost all rifle ammo and endorsed a 500% increase in Federal Excise tax on firearms and ammo.</p>
<p><strong>Voted</strong> to uphold local gun bans and the<strong> criminal prosecution of people using a firearm in self-defense.</strong></p>
<p><strong>He</strong> opposed<strong> the Right to Carry law, and </strong>opposed<strong> four of five Supreme Court Justices who affirmed an individual’s right to keep and bear arms. </strong></p>
<p>A complete list of his anti-gun voting record may be viewed at <a href="http://www.nraila.org/">www.NRAILA.org</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Do not forget that in order for one to be a Dictator, one must disarm its citizens.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://campaignforliberty.com"><img class="alignleft" title="10th Amendment in Virginia" src="http://www.vc4l.com/images/10thAmendment.jpg" alt="" width="396" height="612" /></a>As many of you know I am a local coordinator for the <a href="http://campaignforliberty.com" target="_blank">Campaign For Liberty</a>. I am excited to tell you about a Virginia grass roots lobbying effort to challenge the power of the Federal Government in two important areas; Health Care and Gun Control. Please join me in supporting this effort.</p>
<p>Donna Holt, Interim State Coordinator &#8211; Campaign For Liberty, announced the effort as follows.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Virginia Campaign for Liberty will be mobilizing on two very important pieces of legislation in the 2010 session of the Virginia General Assembly. Both are state&#8217;s rights issues that pose a challenge to the federal government under the 10th amendment.</p>
<p>The Virginia Firearms Freedom Act &#8211; See full text of the bill <a href="http://www.vc4l.com/downloads/Virginia-Firearms-Freedom-Act.pdf"><strong>here</strong></a>.</p>
<p>The Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act &#8211; See full text of the bill <strong><a href="http://www.vc4l.com/downloads/VirginiaHealthcareFreedomAct.pdf">here</a></strong>.</p>
<p>In the upcoming weeks leading up to the legislative session, we will be forming a committee of people to assist in our lobbying effort for legislators to sponsor the bills.  If you wish to volunteer to join the committee, please email me at donna.holt@campaignforliberty.com.&#8221;</p>
<p>Please contact our representatives (below) in Richmond and urge them to support these bills! Also, I again invite you to <a href="https://www.campaignforliberty.com/signup.php#form" target="_blank">join Campaign for Liberty!</a></p>
