One Health Care bill up for consideration is Senator Mitchell's legislation. ALERT! MITCHELL'S BILL CONTAINS A 10,000% EXCISE TAX ON HOLLOW POINT AMMUNITION! Once again, anti-gun politicians are trying to pin the blame on law-abiding gun owners and restrict your right to self-defense! Please try to call your Senators and urge them to sign on to the "Dear Collegue" letter from Senator Baccus to Senator Mitchell which calls for an amendment to remove the ammo tax from the health care legislation! Thanks for your efforts!
