Five Phone Calls for Freedom - Feb 25/26
Wesley D:
Just in case you missed it in the email alert sent out this morning, here are the details on the Five Phone Calls for Freedom campaign. Please forward the information to all of your friends and family. There are hundreds of thousands of citizens represented by the 38 organizations making up the National Coalition to Stop the Gun Ban and if we all take 15 minutes to make 5 phone calls next Monday and Tuesday, we may just send our message so loudly that we could just overload the capital switchboard.
Will You Make Five Phone Calls for Freedom?
Fight Pending Attack by Obama Radicals
Friday, February 22, will witness an unprecedented attack on your rights as Obama mobilizes his army of left-wing activists to push for federal gun bans. “Roll Call” recently ran a piece entitled, “Organizing for America Plans 'National Day of Action' to Mobilize Grass Roots on Guns.” It went on to say:
“Organizing for Action is planning its first official mobilization in support of President Barack Obama’s proposals to curtail gun violence. The nonprofit that inherited Obama’s campaign infrastructure and 2 million strong volunteer army will hold a ‘national day of action’ on Feb. 22, officials said Tuesday.”
If that doesn’t scare you, it should
What you are seeing is “Barry the Community Organizer” doing what he does best: Attacking your rights using millions of rabid radicals who will stoop to any level of deceit in order to control you. The grassroots initiative began with his State of the Union address, in which he packed the house with families of victims of mass killings. Next, Obama went on the road to sell his plan at schools in Atlanta and elsewhere.
Now MoveOn.org is joining the fray by running TV ads that proclaim, “The NRA doesn’t speak for me.” In case you didn’t know it, these are the same folks you brought you ACORN. MoveOn.org is funded by the left wing Tides Foundation, which is itself funded by none other than freedom-hating billionaire George Soros.
Your voice needed now more than ever
You have politicians scared. As a founding member of the Coalition to Stop the Gun Ban, which now comprises 38 state and national organizations, NFOA members have been blasting congress with a coordinated message that we will punish any legislator who supports gun control. So to counter your influence, “Barry” plans to “out-grassroots” you. Will you let him?
Make ‘Five Phone Calls for Freedom’
To fight back against the left wing attack of February 22, we are asking millions of Second Amendment supporters represented by the Coalition and others to deliver a loud and clear message to Congress by making 5 phone calls on Monday and Tuesday (Feb. 25 & 26). Please note that we said CALL, not email. We want millions of voices to ring through the congressional switchboard, so please note that you might have to try several times to get through.
SPECIFICALLY, WE ARE ASKING YOU TO CALL
* Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell at 202-224-2541
* House Speaker John Boehner at 202-225-0600
* Senator Mike Johanns at 202-224-4224
* Senator Deb Fischer at 202-224-6551
* Your representative to the U.S. House:
* Rep. Jeff Fortenbery (R-01) at 202-225-4806
* Rep. Lee Terry (R-02) at 202-225-4155
* Rep. Adrian Smith (R-03) at 202-225-6435To identify your US House representative, go to: http://www.house.gov/representatives/ and then enter your zip code in the upper right corner of the page
DELIVER THIS MESSAGE
Give congressional staff 3 simple talking points:
* Nothing about the federal proposals is acceptable – not banning semi-automatic firearms and magazines, not expanding the list of people prohibited from owning guns, and not registering private gun sales via the National Instant Check System;
* Because “compromise” means losing freedom, you will not “compromise” on this issue including any “lite” version of registering private sales through the National Instant Check System; and
* As a member of one of the organizations comprising the National Coalition to Stop the Gun Ban, you will support coordinated Coalition action against any legislator who supports gun control.
ADDITIONAL ACTION

A-FIXER:
COUNT ME IN!!!!!
AAllen:
We want so many calls going into the Capital on Monday and Tuesday that we shut down the Capital switch board. We want so many pro 2A calls being made that nothing else can get through.
Wesley D:
I can hear it now...
"Hey Staffer, why can't I call out on my office line? Are the phones broken?"
"Well, Senator/Congressman, um, you see, there are a whole bunch of citizens calling all of their reps today, so many in fact, that they overloaded the switchboard system and it's shut down."
"Is that so? What are they calling about?"
"Well, the hundreds I've talked to are saying that no compromise is acceptable on the gun grabber legislation and any rep who votes for any gun control will be targeted for defeat in their next primary..."
"Oh, I see... wait, how many did you say you've talked to???"
SS_N_NE:
Bump this back to the top.
Everyone needs to print off this list and make a few calls. If they utilize any sort of call center software, the volume and wait time will be recorded. Just holding on a jammed line will demonstrate interest if the volume is generally the same demand and threat of election.
The NRA has also asked everyone to call this group of 20. Even though you are not under their representation everyone's future depends on their vote. We do have leverage, past this list around to every firearm forum you can find and email to friends and family. If you get done with the 5...hit some of the 20 and shut everything down.
