GOA Action Alert: Huge Issue Looming Under the Surface of Presidential Politics

Gun Owners of America

Dear Friend of the Second Amendment,

While most people would rate the economy and jobs as the most important issues in the 2012 Presidential campaign, another issue of overwhelming importance would be the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.

Many Americans have never heard of this treaty. But President Obama and Hillary Clinton reversed the position of President Bush and are pushing a UN treaty that could ban large classes of firearms (such as semi-automatic firearms) and license everything else.

In secretive, behind-closed-door meetings, the UN committee charged with drafting the Arms Trade Treaty language has covered lots of ground. From deciding how to force the US to reduce its military strength, to deciding if every American should give up our guns, these folks have every intention of weakening our ability to protect our nation.

If this treaty were to be ratified by the United States Senate, every American citizen's Second Amendment rights would be threatened by the United Nations. If that doesn't scare every freedom-loving American, nothing will!

This is one of the biggest reasons why Gun Owners of America believes the most important elections in 2012 after the Presidential race are in the United States Senate, where we must take the gavel away from left-wing dictator Senator Harry Reid.

There is only one Republican candidate running for President who has not committed to reversing the Obama/Clinton position on the Arms Trade Treaty -- Mitt Romney.

While every other candidate still in the running for the Republican Presidential nomination has said they would oppose this treaty, Mitt Romney has refused to state his position, refusing to answer the Gun Owners of America questionnaire on this and many other gun-related issues.

Many in the media have tried to coronate Mitt Romney as the eventual nominee, but we think the nomination is still up for grabs. This is why we want to get every Republican on record.

There is too much at stake to allow Mitt Romney a "pass" on this issue. With the field getting smaller--we need an answer from Romney.

Gun Owners of America is asking every person who reads this alert to contact the Romney campaign and ask why he is ducking our Questionnaire, especially on the question of the UN Arms Trade Treaty.

You can email the Romney headquarters at info@mittromney.com, or call 857-288-3500. Let him know what you think and tell him you would like an answer.

Time is running out. It's time to get EVERY candidate to answer the tough questions. Stop dodging, Mitt . . . start answering.

Sincerely,

Tim Macy
Vice Chairman

PS Of the four Republican candidates remaining in the race, only Mitt Romney has refused to take a stand on important issues such as opposing a UN gun control treaty. Please contact the Romney campaign at info@mittromney.com, or call 857-288-3500 and urge him to return the Gun Owners of America Presidential Questionnaire.

  1. General Bill Ginn, USAF (ret.), asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem

    is played. The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...

    During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are

    expected to stand at attention, facing the flag, with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least,

    "Stand and Face It".



    NOW GET THIS !!



    'Senator' Obama replied:

    "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides....." "There are a lot of people in the world

    to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression...." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know,

    the bombs bursting in air, and all that sort of thing."



    (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)



    Obama continued:, "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like

    the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. In my opinion, we

    should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and

    love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we,

    as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state

    or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ....."



    "When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war

    or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts .We as a Nation, have placed upon the

    nations of Islam, an unfair injustice, which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag, and she and I have attended several

    flag burning ceremonies in the past."



    "Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred

    aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward

    to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America."
