PLEASE WRITE OUR US SENATORS TODAY!!!! Ask them to vote against confirming Eric Holder as Attorney General. Holder wants to reinstate and EXPAND the assault weapons ban and magazine restrictions. Below is a sample letter that you can copy/paste and fill in.
Here are the links to email Senators Nelson and Johanns.

I urge you to vote AGAINST Eric Holder for U.S. Attorney General.
Holder has been a long-time gun control activist. Most recently, he
joined 12 other former Justice Department officials in SUPPORTING the
DC gun ban and arguing the Second Amendment does NOT protect an
individual right.
Thankfully, the Supreme Court ruled against Holder in the DC v. Heller
case. But this is a man who will try any means to enforce gun control.
Remember his attempts -- as an official in the Clinton Administration
-- to make an end-run around Congress and use the courts (through
litigation) to impose gun control? He strongly approved of the HUD
lawsuits against the gun industry, where through a system of extortion,
HUD only promised to drop the lawsuits if gun makers would impose
certain gun restrictions.
Eric Holder is tremendously out of step with the American people. In
February, 2008, a USA Today/Gallup poll reported that 73% of all
Americans support the INDIVIDUAL right to keep and bear arms. Eric
Holder is in the extreme minority. Please don't vote to put him into a
position where he will be able to use the force of government to
discourage gun ownership in America.
Please vote NO on Eric Holder for Attorney General.
Sincerely,
______________
