The Manchin-Toomey Gun Bill Vote


 

By Jueseppi B.

The Senate is scheduled to vote today on the crucial Manchin-Toomey amendment – a bipartisan effort that would expand background checks to include gun shows and online sales.

 

An overwhelming majority of Americans, including gun owners and several prominent pro-gun groups, support Manchin-Toomey. Yet the vote is too close to call and six Senators are undecided on how they will vote.

 

Send a message to key senators that their vote will affect the safety of the entire country:

 

 

“Vote YES on the Manchin-Toomey Amendment to expand background checks and save lives. #DemandAction”

This is a critical moment for gun reform in America. The Manchin-Toomey amendment will keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.

 
Thank you for making your voice heard. Please forward this message to your friends and family and ask them to do the same:

URGENT: This afternoon is the big Senate vote on guns.

 

The NRA is opposing the bipartisan Manchin-Toomey proposal for background checks on gun purchases. A vote was delayed last week due to concerns that it lacked the votes, and today’s vote will be tight.

 

It’s incredibly important that senators hear from constituents TODAY.

 

Can you call Senators and tell them you want background checks!!

 

The Manchin-Toomey proposal expands background checks to gun sales online and at gun shows — where criminals and other dangerous people too often get their hands on deadly firearms.

 

It has support from groups as diverse as the pro-gun Independent Firearm Owners Association and the 900 mayors of the pro-reform Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

 

It is sound policy that will save lives.

 

Our calls today can persuade fence-sitting Democrats. We must also bolster Democrats who are with us, but are bombarded with NRA calls. And, believe it or not, some Republicans are on the fence.

 

Call right now and tell them you support the Manchin-Toomey proposal.

The Senate is expected to vote today on expanding background checks for gun sales — a measure that would go a long way toward reducing gun violence and making our communities safer.

 

Our senators are debating right now, and we expect the vote to be very close — now is the time to speak up.

 

Can you pick up the phone right now and call the Senate?

 

 
It only takes a few minutes of your time to make your voice heard.

 

 
Then, make sure you report back on how it went.

 

If you need help, here’s a suggestion on what you can say:

I’m a constituent and I’m calling today to ask :are you supporting expanded background checks as a part of S. 649, the current gun violence prevention legislation on the floor of the Senate.

 

Make sure to tell your senator where you’re from. And if you’d like, let them know your reason for taking action on gun violence. Maybe you have a friend or a family member who’s been affected by gun violence, or maybe you were moved to stand up after the shooting in Newtown, or Tucson, or Virginia Tech. Whatever your reason, your passion will come through and that will make a difference.

 

These are common-sense reforms that will actually save lives and make our communities safer. If we want the Senate to pass a bill to reduce gun violence, we have to speak up — the special-interest groups on the other side are already well represented in this debate.

 

Our senators need to know their constituents are demanding action — and that, if they stand up to the special interests, we’ll be right there fighting alongside them.

 
After you’re done, let us know how it went here:

Thanks for being a part of this.

Now start calling.

Shrink Government By Abolishing The House Of Representatives


By Jueseppi B.

 

Seal-of-the-US-House-of-Representatives

 

 

Yes. I strongly believe The House Of Representatives is a waste of taxpayer money and serves a purpose only to obstruct the proceedings of government.

 

 

It took the Senate a matter of hours last night to pass The Tax Relief Extension Bill with an 89 Yays to 8 Nays vote. The House Of Representatives have informed the press it could be two days before they even reach the point of voting on the The Tax Relief Extension Bill, because they intend to go through the The Tax Relief Extension Bill, with a fine tooth lice comb.

 

If they find anything they don’t agree with, they will make amendments, then vote on THAT amended version of the The Tax Relief Extension Bill, then send it BACK to The Senate….for another Senate vote.

 

This is called The Washington Political Game. While America hangs in the balance, The Tax Relief Extension Bill goes back and forth between both Houses Of Congress. Why?

 

The House Of Representatives is run by a bunch of Un American TeaTardedRepubliCANT Pseudo-Freudian Psycho-Sexual  Secret-Whore Pro-caucasian Pro-Racist Anti-LGBT Anti-Feminist  Reich Wing GOPretender Conselfishservative NRA-Gun Loving Nut Bag racist caucasians, who think THEY won the election on November 6th, 2012. Thats why.

 

They didn’t. They think they did.

 

My suggestion is to abolish the TeaTardedRepubliCANT Pseudo-Freudian Psycho-Sexual  Secret-Whore Pro-caucasian Pro-Racist Anti-LGBT Anti-Feminist  Reich Wing GOPretender Conselfishservative NRA-Gun Loving Nut Bag racist caucasian Party led House Of Representatives. Their primary mission is to obstruct government business.

 

The House Of Representatives does not care if America is successful on the world stage. The House Of Representatives does not give a damn about whether American citizens, who voted for them in the 2010 mid term elections, will pay a higher tax rate than millionaires & billionaires.

 

The House Of Representatives is NOT concerned that middle class families who are out of work, may not be able to pay their rent or their light bill because the House Of Representatives allows unemployment insurance to expire.

 

We don’t need The House Of Representatives. There would be a smoother running government system without The House Of Representatives. Money saved from salaries, perks, committee budgets and just plain House Of Representatives waste, would bolster bringing down the deficit. Not by much but every tiny bit saved, does help.

 

An example of waste: It will ultimately take The House Of Representatives two days to accomplish something The Senate did in hours. Not 24 to 48 hours but in a few hours.

 

Just think of all the cash saved if there is NO House Of Representatives with their wasteful Washington spending. Imagine the legislation sitting in The House Of Representatives, tabled & shoved to the side, because The House Of Representatives don’t like The Presidents skin color, that would finally be voted on and put into play. Presidential Appointments & Nominations that The House Of Representatives refuses to even bring to the House floor.

 

That is not the way the American government should work.

 

TeaTardedRepubliCANTS desire to shrink government. Make government smaller & less intrusive in everyday American lives. Abolish The House Of Representatives and you do just that.

 

Make ‘Em Get A Real Job.

 

From The Washington Post:

 

The Senate approved a bipartisan agreement early Tuesday morning to let income taxes rise sharply for the first time in two decades, fulfilling President Obama’s promise to raise taxes on the rich and avoiding the worst effects of the “fiscal cliff.” The agreement, brokered by Vice President Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), passed 89 to 8 in a highly unusual New Year’s morning vote. It now heads to the House, where leaders have not guaranteed passage but top officials believe it could win passage in the next few days.

 

The agreement primarily targets taxpayers who earn more than $450,000 per year, raising their rates for wages and investment profits. At the same time, the deal would protect more than 100 million households earning less than $250,000 a year from income tax increases scheduled to take effect Jan. 1.

 

From President Obama:

“Leaders from both parties in the Senate came together to reach an agreement that passed with overwhelming bipartisan support today that protects 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small business owners from a middle class tax hike. While neither Democrats nor Republicans got everything they wanted, this agreement is the right thing to do for our country and the House should pass it without delay.”

 

“This agreement will also grow the economy and shrink our deficits in a balanced way – by investing in our middle class, and by asking the wealthy to pay a little more.”

 

“What’s more, today’s agreement builds on previous efforts to reduce our deficits. Last year, I worked with Democrats and Republicans to cut spending by more than $1 trillion.  Tonight’s agreement does even more by asking millionaires and billionaires to begin to pay their fair share for the first time in twenty years.  As promised, that increase will be immediate, and it will be permanent.”

 

“There’s more work to do to reduce our deficits, and I’m willing to do it. But tonight’s agreement ensures that, going forward, we will continue to reduce the deficit through a combination of new spending cuts and new revenues from the wealthiest Americans.  And as we address our ongoing fiscal challenges, I will continue to fight every day on behalf of the middle class and all those fighting to get into the middle class to forge an economy that grows from the middle out, not from the top down.”
