I know there have been posts about this here before, but it appears that there are rumblings of confirmation hearings for Andrew Traver's appointment to BATFE. I can't imagine any of us who would want the leader of the Illinois ATF access to our second amendment rights. NRA- ILA sent out an alert today: (note to mods: they DO allow them to be reproduced and I can't find the link on their website)
"The U.S. Senate may soon begin confirmation hearings on one of the most dangerous political appointees of Barack Obama's presidency -- and NRA-ILA needs YOUR HELP to defeat this nomination!
"President Obama has tapped Andrew Traver, a committed ringleader in the gun-ban movement, to head up the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE). Now, the U.S. Senate must decide whether to allow Traver to take over this crucial government post.
"As a committed Second Amendment freedom fighter, you're well aware that this agency has an enormous and direct impact on you and other gun owners nationwide. And if Andrew Traver is confirmed by the U.S. Senate, it will turn back the clock all the way to the Clinton days when the full force of BATFE's enormous powers were leveled against gun stores and gun owners on an almost daily basis.
"That's why I'm asking you to visit www.StopTraver.org today.
"Through this special website, you can send messages directly to your U.S. Senators and make your voice heard BEFORE the Senate considers this disastrous nomination. This website also includes an important "Stop Traver" Fact Sheet with critical information you need to know about Andrew Traver.
"Please understand, Traver is not just another run-of-the-mill anti-gun elitist, but a dedicated gun-banzealot with the deepest possible ties to the national "gun control" movement.
And now, President Barack Obama wants to put him in charge of BATFE where he can inflict almost unlimited and permanent damage to our rights.
"Please, visit www.StopTraver.org today and help us win this crucial battle -- for yourself and for every American who cherishes our constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Thanks in advance for your courageous help!
"Sincerely,
Chris W. Cox
