U.S. SENATE IS PREPARING TO VOTE FOR A RADICAL ANTI-GUN-RIGHTS
EXTREMIST FOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICE:

TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON SOTOMAYOR!

Dear Gun Owners and Supporters of the Second Amendment:

America is getting closer and closer to seeing a radically
anti-gun-rights extremist confirmed to sit on the U.S. Supreme
Court... and the U.S. Senate is going to make sure it happens
THIS COMING WEEK... unless YOU AND I stop them!

You and I know that it is extremely important that a Supreme
Court justice understand and appreciate the origin and meaning of
the Second Amendment, a constitutional guarantee permanently
enshrined in the Bill of Rights. The record of Barack Obama's
Supreme Court nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, on the Second
Amendment should causes cause every patriotic American grave
concern over her treatment of this enumerated constitutional
right.

Last year, the Supreme Court decided the landmark case District
of Columbia v. Heller, holding that the Second Amendment
guarantees to all law-abiding, responsible citizens the
individual right to keep and bear arms, particularly for
self-defense. Following Heller, the Supreme Court is almost
certain to decide next year whether the Second Amendment applies
to states and local governments, as it does to the federal
government (see NRA v. Chicago and McDonald v. Chicago.)

While sitting as a federal judge on the Second Circuit Appeals
Court, Judge Sotomayor revealed her views on the right to keep
and bear arms in Maloney v. Cuomo, a case decided after Heller,
yet holding that the Second Amendment is NOT a fundamental right,
that it does NOT apply to the states, and that if an object is
"designed primarily as a weapon" then that is a sufficient basis
for total prohibition -- even within the home!

Earlier, in a 2004 case, United States v. Sanchez-Villar,
Sotomayor and two colleagues perfunctorily dismissed a Second
Amendment claim, holding that "the right to possess a gun is
clearly not a fundamental right." Imagine if such a view were
expressed about other fundamental rights guaranteed by the Bill
of Rights, such as the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments!

Surprisingly, Heller was a 5-4 decision, with some justices
arguing that the Second Amendment does not apply to private
citizens or that if it does, even a total gun ban could be upheld
if a "legitimate governmental interest" could be found. The
dissenting justices also found D.C.'s absolute ban on handguns
within the home to be a "reasonable" restriction. If this had
been the majority view, then ANY gun ban could be upheld, and the
Second Amendment would be meaningless!

The Second Amendment survives today by a single vote in the
Supreme Court. Both its application to the states AND whether
there will be a meaningfully strict standard of review remain to
be decided by the High Court. Judge Sotomayor has already
revealed her views on these issues -- and they are obviously
contrary to the intent and purposes of the Second Amendment and
Bill of Rights. As supporters of the Second Amendment who are
deeply concerned about preserving all fundamental rights for
current and future generations of Americans, we need to strongly
oppose this nominee, and URGE the Senate NOT to confirm Judge
Sonia Sotomayor -- NOW. Please, CLICK BELOW NOW to send Blast
Faxes to EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THE U.S. SENATE, telling them to
REJECT Sonia Sotomayor when the vote on her nomination comes up!

Sincerely,

Alan Gottlieb, Chairman
Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms

P.S. As tens of thousands of faxes are already pouring in to the
Senate offices on Capitol Hill, the CCRKBA is already LOBBYING
HARD to make sure that our Congressmen follow through on ALL of
our demands to protect and support the Second Amendment. But
lobbying costs money -- so we need YOUR help to keep pounding
away on these legislators to do the right thing!

PLEASE MAKE YOUR BEST CONTRIBUTION NOW:

Like all other threats against our freedoms, we must rise and
defeat this nomination -- slap it down hard.

To stop Obama's backdoor anti-gun nomination and hold him to his
promise that he would not try to take away anyone's firearms, we
need to let the U.S. Senate know with thousands of faxes telling
them to leave guns alone.

But it's going to take Americans like you, who understand what
our Founding Fathers envisioned for our nation -- and who are
willing to fight to defend our Constitution and for what it
stands.

So please, help the Citizens Committee and me defeat those who
wish to gut and trash the United States Constitution.

Help us flood the U.S. Senate with a sea of FAXES big enough to
drown each and every Senator willing to vote away the Second
Amendment.

Please, send your Donation and FAXES TODAY!
