White House to roll out gun policy on Wednesday.
The Washington Post reports that President Obama will be introducing new gun control proposals “at midday Wednesday.”
The announcement, to be delivered at the White House, is also expected to include a slate of up to 19 executive actions that the Obama administration can take on its own to attempt to limit gun violence. The White House has invited key lawmakers as well as gun-control advocates to appear at Wednesday’s policy rollout, according to two officials who have been invited to the event.
Please tell Congress and the White House that you support sensible gun legislation. Michael Dimock from Pew Research told NPR on Monday that “Gun rights advocates tend to be much more engaged…. 15% of gun rights advocates say they’ve contacted an elected official to address the issue; that’s twice the number that you have among gun control supporters.”
Please call your US Representative: 202-224-3121 (If you don’t know who that is, click here).
Please call your US Senators: 202-224-3121 (If you don’t know who that is, click here).
And please also call the White House – it really matters that President Obama be inundated with support on this, because he is fighting an uphill battle: 202-456-1111.
If you’re not sure what to say: All you really need to say is some version of “I’m calling from [location or zip code] and just wanted to make sure that the Senator/Representative/President knows that I support sensible gun legislation and that Congress and the White House will work together to move forward on the issue.”
It’s my deep, deep hope that the former community organizer from Chicago will not simply address issues like assault weapons bans and magazine capacity but will also address the violence visited on our cities every day, where 1% of the population tends to be responsible for about 70% of shootings (for more on that, please click here), but I guess we’ll know more tomorrow. For the time being, let’s just make sure they know that we want to get the ball rolling.
PLEASE CALL THEM. And if you’ve called them already — please call them again.
Thank you Ms. Hauser for your post on your blog: In My Head.
This is vitally important and if “We The People” do not get directly involved and show monumental support for the work of President Barack Hussein Obama and Vice President Joseph Robinette “Joe” Biden, Jr., we are a doomed nation.
From the 21st Century Wire:
President Obama will unveil a sweeping set of gun-control proposals at midday Wednesday, including an assault weapons ban, universal background checks and limits on the number of bullets magazines can hold, according to sources familiar with the plans.
The announcement, to be delivered at the White House, is also expected to include a slate of up to 19 executive actions that the Obama administration can take on its own to attempt to limit gun violence. The White House has invited key lawmakers as well as gun-control advocates to appear at Wednesday’s policy roll-out, according to two officials who have been invited to the event.
Obama said at a news conference Monday that he would present his gun proposals later in the week. A White House spokesman said Tuesday morning that he could not confirm the plans.

President Obama will unveil a sweeping set of gun-control proposals at midday Wednesday, including an assault weapons ban, universal background checks and limits on the number of bullets that ammunition clips can hold, according to sources familiar with the plans.
The announcement, which press secretary Jay Carney said is scheduled for about 11:45 a.m. at the White House, is also expected to include a slate of up to 19 executive actions that the Obama administration can take on its own to attempt to limit gun violence.
The White House has invited key lawmakers as well as gun-control advocates to appear at Wednesday’s policy rollout, according to two officials who have been invited to the event.
Joining Obama and Vice President Biden for the announcement will be children from across the country who wrote Obama letters after last month’s elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., Carney said.

Once again, help the President get his point across……
