The vote on the Rule is now expected to occur tomorrow. A vote on the Rule is a procedural vote. If the rule is NOT adopted, the Crime Bill will be sent back to Conference for further negotiations. The Clinton Administration, Charles Schumer, and all supporters of this Crime Bill are using the delays to mount enormous pressure on Democrats and Republicans alike to vote for this legislation! IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ALL MEMBERS AND GUN OWNERS CONTACT THEIR REPRESENTATIVES AT LEAST ONE MORE TIME BETWEEN TODAY AND TOMORROW AND URGE THEM TO VOTE AGAINST THE RULE AND THE CRIME BILL ITSELF! Also please do not forget to contact your Senators. Please be sure to tell your Senators to oppose the Crime Bill and to support a filibuster of the Crime Bill if one should occur. This 1200 page Crime Bill which was reported out of the Conference Committee last week is big spending legislation which will do nothing to reduce crime in America. The gun ban portion appears to be nearly identical to the House passed HR 4296 EXCEPT that all record keeping requirements have been removed. Members are urged to contact their Representatives and Senators and urge them to oppose this bill on the basis of the huge pork programs as well as the anti-gun/anti-freedom gun ban. The Congressional switchboard telephone number is 202-224-3121!
