I recently contacted Delaware Congressman, John Carney, and urged him to oppose any restrictions to 2nd ammendment. He responded today and reaffirmed his position against our rights and stated that he will fight to take action swiftly.
Here is an excerpt from his letter:
" President Obama and Vice President Biden have put forward a comprehensive plan to reduce violence in the United States by keeping weapons out of the hands of criminals and getting military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines off our streets. The plan would also increase access to mental health services and provide teachers and counselors with the training they need to identify mental illness in young people. None of this will happen without action from Congress.
In the past, many elected officials have been reluctant to support stronger gun laws. I hope that the recent tragedies across America -- from Connecticut to Colorado -- will spur bipartisan passage of common sense proposals like mandatory background checks for gun purchases and a ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
In the meantime, President Obama took 23 executive actions to strengthen the background check system, finalize important regulations regarding mental health, and develop emergency preparedness and response plans for schools across the country.
I support these actions -- in addition to tough enforcement of existing gun laws. More importantly, I urge my colleagues to act swiftly and thoughtfully to pass legislation that will reduce gun violence and prevent more tragedies like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School."
I urge fellow Delawareans to remember his position and use our votes to get him removed from office.
Let me know your thoughts.

I sent an email to my Rep, Earl Jaques. Email response: he's away until Sep 7!
-
Let me know your thoughts.
Political speak for screw you, I'm doing as I please. Have a great day....

I got the same canned response from Carney from my lastest email. You would think they would listen to the voters who elected them. Thankfully their term of office does not last forever. Will be there to vote against him next election.
-
As Obama goes so will Delaware's congressional delegation with very rare exceptions. You can bet all three will support amnesty as a debate coming up and any restrictions they can get away with on our firearms.

Just think, Carney was almost our governor. But with that, I knew Markell was not much different, I have been proven correct. If Delaware loses to the dems for governor one more time, we will become Calif. east, for good. We were once a ray of sunshine stuck between NJ and Maryland, now we are melding in with them. Almost glad I am in the autumn of my life.

And what do you think changed?
-
Add Carper and Coons to the list.

Delaware is a state that cannot survive itself, if it continues in it's current connection. I wish I had never stayed here after the military, but now I'm too old and poor to move elsewhere. Guess I'll have to stand and fight.
Come soon Lord Jesus.

Maranatha!

I was fetched up in DE, with exception of my stint in the AF, have lived here all my life. For the most part it has been enjoyable. This gang of progressives is destroying the state. Unfortunatly, most of the legislature is controlled by the "gimmies" in NCC. Carper used to be moderate, maybe just slightly to the left. Once he hit Washington, he went extreme on us. Carney and Coons were always there. I was really afraid Carney would be the next guv, now I don't see a lot of difference between him and Markell. Also too old to move, time to fight. See you in Dover tomorrow.

Carney, Coons and Carper, all 3 have said they will vote to ratify the United Nations Gun Ban Treaty, if passed and sent to the US Congress. This would not only void the 2nd Amendment, but begin the deletion of the US Constitution forever.
-
Currently there are not enough votes in the Senate to pass this. In addition, the Supreme Court has ruled, that any treaty signed by our government is null and void, if it violates the Constitution. Alot more would have to be done to allow this treaty to become law, such as dismantling the Constitution. This is not an immediate threat, BUT be vigiliant, the progressives are on the march!
-
Hey there. I recently sent letters to Carper and Coons that said I was disapppointed that they committed such a treasonous act as to surrender our constitutional rights to those of other countries and that I would do everything legally in my power to turn them out of office. I wonder if a recall should be considered. Any thoughts?
-
We all have to remember this rhetoric from these politicians and when they come up for re-election, we need to ensure that their terms come to an end. If they can't represent our interests and thoughts, they do not belong in office.

The vote has been taken and all three voted to ratify the UN Gun Ban Treaty.
Now you all know how to vote in the next election.
The voting list is below.
Over the weekend, we came four votes away from the United States
Senate giving our Constitutional rights over to the United Nations. In a
53-46 vote, the senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United
States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
The Statement of Purpose from the bill read:
To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States
from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the
Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the
import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all
private gun owners in the U.S., and had language that would have
implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammo.
Astonishingly, 46 of our United States Senators were willing to
give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power.
Here are the 46 senators that voted to give your rights to the
U.N.
Baldwin (D-WI)

People would need to get alot more patriotic for any of our three clowns to be voted out of office.
-
notice anything in common with that list?
-
Don't trust Earl Jaques. He is a democrat to the end. He is a retired Air Guard Officer and a good ole' Boy.

I have lived in DE for most of my life and found it to be a good place to raise a family, etc. After all, we are the state of Bill Roth, John Williams, Pete duPont and so on. That was when getting up and going to work was the only option and tax cuts and frugality were considered to be viable. The last 20 or so years of promoting programs and spending that will ultimately bankrupt us and at the same time vilifying hard work and playing by the rules has caused me to seriously consider re-locating to a friendly environment (Texas comes to mind) and not retiring here. Never thought I would ever think that.

Look to California and Detroit. That is the future of every city and state if this country does not change. You can look at both states through the decades to and see the progressive politics have done nothing to benefit the people who actually work in those areas. Now those who vote instead of work for a living are doing great.
