FROM TOWNHALL

Dear Londa,




Terrorism. Illegal immigration. Identity theft. Drugs. Fraud.



Call me cynical, but whenever I hear anti-gun politicians talk about these issues nowadays, I've come to expect a new thinly-veiled assault on our Second Amendment freedoms.



Either they want to ban our guns, track our guns . . .



. . . Or track us.



Well, after years of watching our illegal immigration problem grow steadily worse -- and watching our elected officials refuse to lift a finger in response -- the politicians' "fix" is finally in.



It's a new Federal Biometric ID card.



That's right. Instead of controlling our borders, the politicians want to control you and me. They want to give amnesty to illegal immigrants and make us prove we're not criminals!



And President Barack Obama, Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are all working hand in glove to ram this new scheme into law as part of their new "comprehensive immigration reform" package.



That's why it's vital you sign the petition to your Congressman and Senators IMMEDIATELY.









If passed, the Federal Biometric ID card included in the new amnesty bill will:



Include a "unique biometric identifier" -- like fingerprints, retinal scans or even a scan of the veins on the back of your hand; and,

Allow bureaucrats to watch your every move, as the Federal Biometric ID card will almost certainly be produced with RFID tracking technology; and,

Include virtually unlimited amounts of personal information about you -- like what guns you own, for instance.

And this new Federal Biometric ID would be required for any person wishing to hold a job legally in the United States.



So I guess the welfare recipients don't have to get one.



I don't know about you, but I'm outraged.



It seems that whenever politicians are using terrorism, crime, illegal immigration or something else as their excuse, it's really you and me in their crosshairs.



Just remember those Department of Homeland Security memos listing pro-gun, pro-constitution activists as "domestic extremists."



How would you like to be told you can't board a plane because your new Federal Biometric ID Card told a TSA agent you supported some political candidate the new anti-gun regime thinks is too "pro-constitution?"









Even if you place complete 100% trust in the intentions of all federal government bureaucrats, what if there's some "accident?"



After all, you and I have heard the news stories of government officials "losing" laptops chockfull of hundreds of thousands of records including folks' names, social security numbers, addresses and birthdates.



And, of course, you and I cannot ignore the fact that since ID cards are required to purchase a firearm, the Federal Biometric ID scheme will likely create a de facto national gun registry.



That's why it's so important you click here to sign the petition IMMEDIATELY.



Unfortunately, this fight will not be easy -- just take a look at the makeup of Congress.



Anti-gun, anti-freedom Harry Reid still has a Senate majority.



Throwing party labels aside in the Senate and counting EVERY anti-gun Senator leaves you and me with a steep hill to climb.



And, of course, we can't forget about President Obama.



He's already come out publicly in favor of Senator Lindsey Graham's and Chuck Schumer's "bipartisan" bill -- so you and I must expect he'll do whatever it takes to enact the Federal Biometric ID scheme.



There's no doubt about it -- our backs are against the wall.

But there is good news.
Coming on the heels of the Healthcare fight -- and all the lies, smoky backroom deals and outright bribery employed to ram the bill into law -- there's not a real cozy feeling of "bipartisanship" right now in the U.S. Senate.

And the midterm elections have only cemented that feeling.

That's a HUGE plus.

It could be that with the exception of Senator Graham and perhaps a couple of others, you and I may not have as much difficulty in keeping even marginally pro-gun Republican U.S. Senators in our fold as we would normally.

Also, many key Democrat Senators come from states that have recently REFUSED to comply with the original DANGEROUS ID Bill.

That means we can win this fight, but it won't be easy.

The anti-gun politicians believe their best shot at passing the Federal Biometric ID scheme is to move FAST.

That's why your IMMEDIATE help is so vital.

So in addition to your signed petitions, I hope you'll consider making a generous contribution, as well.

You see, I've already prepared a massive targeted mail, phone and e-mail program that I'm ready to launch as soon as I can pay the up-front costs.

And then if I can raise the resources, I'd like to run hard-hitting radio, TV and newspaper ads, as well.

The goal is to start a grassroots fire against a new Federal Biometric ID scheme in the states represented by key Republican and Democrat Senators.

We'll point out that there's an overwhelming majority of citizens in their states who are opposed to a Federal Biometric ID card.

We'll also mention these voters are ALL watching these Senators' votes very carefully this election year.

Believe me, these Senators WILL get the message.

But I can't do any of this without your help.

That's why I hope you'll rush me your most generous contribution TODAY.

I know I'm asking a lot from you. But this could be it.

This could be the major, knock-down, drag-out fight we've been waiting for ever since President Obama was elected.

Until now, we've beaten the gun-control crowd to the punch -- publicizing and mobilizing a firestorm of grassroots opposition to the gun-grabbers radical schemes before they could even get them off the ground.

But unless you act now, we won't be so lucky this time.

That's why I hope, if at all possible, you will agree to a contribution of $25.

Of course, if that's simply too much, and you can't afford such a contribution at this time, I understand.

But will you agree to chip in at least $5 or $10?

I know you understand what's at stake.

So please rush me your most generous contribution of $25, $10 or at least $5 TODAY!

Sincerely,



Dudley Brown

Executive Director


P.S. The key provision in Senators Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) and Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) amnesty bill backed by President Obama is a new mandated Federal Biometric ID card that would be required for any person to hold a job in the United States legally.



This card would include untold amounts of personal information (like gun ownership) and biometric tracking technology that would allow government bureaucrats to track our every move.



That's why it's vital you sign our petitions to your Congressman and Senators IMMEDIATELY along with your most generous contribution of $25, $10 or $5 TODAY!
