Think about it. We are having to explain this to those "on our side"? I appreciate your effort, but just the fact that you have to explain it to them, it is too late.
We have a communist for a president. There is no chance we can stop them now. America is gone, done, finished. Probably has been for a long time.

This is proof the emails and all of our hard work is paying off-

Washington Universal Gun Checks Measure Loses Pivotal Supporter
7:52 am Mon March 11, 2013
OLYMPIA, Wash. – The fate of a universal background check measure in the Washington state House could be decided this week. Wednesday is a key cut-off deadline. But recently the gun control measure lost a pivotal “yes” vote.
Maureen Walsh was one of two Republicans who signed onto the measure to require background checks for all gun sales. She says she did so thinking it sounded like a reasonable response to the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting.
But soon after, the eastern Washington Republican says the National Rifle Association lit up her district with a campaign piece. It happened while she was in Cincinnati dealing with the death of her brother.
“Suddenly this hit piece came out from the NRA on me," Walsh says. "So I was already down and that really kicked me down and then I started getting numerous emails and letters and calls – probably over a thousand – from folks in my district who were very, very dismayed about my support over that bill.”
Walsh says the reaction forced her to think deeply about the issue. Now she’s concluded that universal checks will just make it harder for law-abiding gun owners.
Without her vote, the prospects of passing the background check measure in the Washington House is a lot tougher. But the prime sponsor, Democrat Jamie Pedersen, is not giving up.

Walsh says the reaction forced her to think deeply about the issue.This is such BS and much the same as last month when Sen. Ed Murray D-Seattle signed SB5737 and only after feeling the heat from constituents decided to change his stance, then admitting that "he never even read it" before signing it, "I have to admit that shouldn't be in there" referring to a unwarranted search of homes once a year by police.
Why is it only now that Mrs Walsh is "forced to think deeply about the issue"? Why don't these @%#^$ do the job they have been elected to do from the beginning.
Not to sound insensitive to Mrs Walsh but if family issues are going to effect her abilities to do her job then she should have taken a leave of absence before taking a stance that effects far more people than her immediate family. :twocents:

To say this is 'frustrating' doesn't express what I REALLY think....
Needless to say you would think something written somewhere would suggest that reading the bills before voting is..... Probably a good idea.... if not a condition of employment.
No disrespect to the ladies circumstances but I do wish it was handled differently.
Maybe she planned to pull the rug out at the last minute to catch em off guard.
