Senate Set to Vote on Another Anti-gun Judge Gun Owners of America E-Mail Alert 8001 Forbes Place, Suite 102, Springfield, VA 22151 703-321-8585 www.gunowners.org Tuesday, December 8, 2009 Here we go again. First, there was Sonia Sotomayor. Then there was David Hamilton. Now, we have another radical, anti-gun judge that has been nominated for the federal judiciary. His name is Louis Butler, and he is so radical, he was twice rejected by the people of Wisconsin (which is, by the way, one of the most liberal states in our union). When Louis Butler first ran for the Wisconsin Supreme Court -- the voters rejected him by a 2-1 margin. When he was appointed to that court by Democrat Governor Jim Doyle and then stood for retention by the voters, they again rejected him. This was the first time a member of the Wisconsin Supreme Court was rejected by the voters in more than 40 years. More importantly, Louis Butler opposes the rights of gun owners. The right to bear arms in the Wisconsin Constitution expressly notes that this right is for personal security and "any other lawful purpose." But in State v. Fischer, Judge Butler was the deciding vote in 2006 to hold that a Wisconsin statute barring carrying a concealed weapon for any purpose, at any time, including in a vehicle, does not violate this right to personal security that the voters of Wisconsin chose to expressly protect in their state constitution. So he ignored the state constitution in order to impose his anti-gun views on the people of Wisconsin. After the landmark U.S. Supreme Court Heller case upholding Second Amendment gun rights in 2008, Louis Butler spoke at an Obama for President fundraiser and specifically mentioned "gun control" as an issue that potential Obama appointees would impact. "Gun control," Butler said, "may ultimately be decided, and the new appointees can tip the very balance of the court. [The] background, personal beliefs and policy decisions of the justices selected will influence how they will vote on the difficult cases before them." There you have it. He is a radical activist who wants to move the courts -- and our country -- in a new direction. We've already had enough "hope and change" for a lifetime. We don't need another federal judge who will use his radical "personal beliefs" to reshape our society. ACTION: Please contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to OPPOSE the nomination of Judge Louis Butler as U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Wisconsin. Butler was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, and could now be voted on by the full Senate at any time. You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send your senators the pre-written e-mail message below. ----- Pre-written letter ----- Dear Senator: Please OPPOSE the nomination of Louis Butler as U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Wisconsin. When Louis Butler first ran for the Wisconsin Supreme Court -- the voters rejected him by a 2-1 margin. When he was appointed to that court by Democrat Governor Jim Doyle and then stood for retention by the voters, they again rejected him. This was the first time a member of the Wisconsin Supreme Court was rejected by the voters in more than 40 years. More importantly, Louis Butler opposes the rights of gun owners. In State v. Fischer, Judge Butler expressly ignored the right to bear arms provision in the Wisconsin Constitution. And after the landmark U.S. Supreme Court Heller case upholding Second Amendment gun rights in 2008, Louis Butler spoke at an Obama for President fundraiser and specifically mentioned "gun control" as an issue that potential Obama appointees would impact. "Gun control," Butler said, "may ultimately be decided, and the new appointees can tip the very balance of the court. [The] background, personal beliefs and policy decisions of the justices selected will influence how they will vote on the difficult cases before them." Again, I urge you to OPPOSE this nomination. Gun Owners of America will be scoring this nomination and will let me know how you vote on this radical judge. Sincerely,

My wife just informed me that we are expected in Wartrace for her family Christmas dinner. I don't expect that I could slip away and not be noticed. But I'm broke anyway.

I ran across a great gift for anyone who has to leave small valuables in their car (handgun, GPS, etc). Costco - Hot Buy SentrySafe AS-1 Auto, RV & Boat Safe with Steel Security Cable It says that S/H is included in the price.

Suh should but I doubt that he will. I think that McCoy will win after his performance last week. There are a great many voters who voted before yesterdays games.

Anyone go by the Civil War Show that is at the Nashville Fairgrounds today? I don't care about the gun show but was wondering if it is worth it to go to this.

None here in Antioch.

^^^ What they said. #3 I just sold my Sig P226 Elite and bought a Sig SP2022 because I needed the cash that was left to pay my house note. I'm sure that I'll regret that but I still have a gun and my house is still mine.

Wish he was here in TN running against that POS Jim Cooper!

I remember back when TN was playing FSU for the 1998 title. Some reporter asked Alex Brown of FL who he was for. His answer was "I hope both of their planes crash!" I'm not that bad but I really hate to see either team win. I voted FL.

I would like for anyone that would want to use the Second Amendment March banner that I have in my signature to please feel free to use it in your signature as well not only here but also in your signatures on other sites also. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

On Tuesday the Tax Day Tea Party announced their biggest TEA party ever will occur on April 15th, 2010 in Washington DC and all across the country. Due to the large number of Tea Party Patriots and Nine-Twelve project members among our supporters, we are concerned that this will result in fewer people attending the Second Amendment March on April 19th, 2010. Your input is valuable to us. In light of this, we would like to know which of our options do you view as being most favorable?

You guys are all heros in my book. I just wish that I could have chipped in too.

There's no reason to look at other sites when it was already on TGO! http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/general-off-topic/30967-tiger-woods-seriously-injured-car-crash-3.html

He is a very good shot. This seems to be a decent show even though I'm not a fan of his movies.

I got this in an email just now and I like the idea. I'm gonna do it, how about you? ****************************************************************** Pass this on to your church, coworkers, family, and friends. What do you have to lose but 44 cents, what do you have to gain ----------- more than you will ever know. What a clever idea! Yes, Christmas cards. This is coming early so that you can get ready to include an important address to your list. Want to have some fun this CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD this year. As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice, CHRISTIAN card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world.. Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it. Here's the address, just don't be rude or crude. (It's not the Christian way, you know.) ACLU 125 Broad Street 18th Floor New York , NY 10004 Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions.So spend 44 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a " Holiday Tree". . .. It's always been called a CHRISTMAS TREE! And pass this on to your email lists. We really want to communicate the importance of this issue with the ACLU. For those of you who aren't aware of them, the ACLU, (the AmericanCivil Liberties Union) is the one suing the U.S. Government to take God, Christmas or anything Christian away from us. They represent the atheists and others in this war. Help put Christ back in Christmas!

I never have to sign on unless I clear out my cookies. I can go for days and come back to TGO and I am still on.
