National Education Association Vice President: NRA, Second Amendment Supporters “Are Going to Hell”

On the previous post, it’s no wonder why some teachers get bent out of shape when a youngster expresses any type of support for gun rights when their leaders think this way…

Speaking to all 3,000 of the assembled “progressive activists” at this year’s Netroots Nation conference, National Education Association vice president Lily Eskelsen Garcia boldly declared a “prophecy” about the eternal destiny of NRA and Second Amendment supporters, and of politicians and lobbyists working to promote gun rights:  “I’m not an ordained minister; I’m not a theologian, but these guys are going to hell.”

Case Against Student Who Wore NRA T-Shirt to School Dismissed

On June 27th, in a positive resolution to a case which has captured the attention of advocates for First and Second Amendment rights, the case against 14-year-old Logan Middle School Honor Student Jared Marcum of Logan, W.V., was dismissed with prejudice.  Marcum had been charged with obstructing an officer following an incident stemming from a Logan Middle School faculty member’s reaction to Marcum wearing to school an NRA t-shirt featuring the words “Protect Your Right” and an image of a semiautomatic rifle.

Honoring Our Veterans

This statue  currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now  home to the 4th Infantry Division. It will  eventually be shipped home and put in the memorial museum in Fort Hood, Texas .  The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named  Kalat, who for years was  forced by Saddam  Hussein to make the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad .

Kalat was so grateful for America ‘s liberation of his country; he melted 3 of the  heads of the fallen Saddam and made the statue as a memorial to the American Soldiers                 and their fallen warriors.

Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.

To the left of the kneeling soldier is a  small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.

CalGuns Asks for Help to Combat Brady Campaign

Unsurprisingly, the Brady Campaign is strongly backing two very extreme anti-rights bills, SB 53(Senator Kevin de León’s Orwellian ammunition purchase and sales restrictions) and SB 755 (Senator Lois Wolk’s outrageous expansion of those categorized as “prohibited persons” who can’t possess or acquire guns or ammunition). They’re asking their supporters to call, write, and fax the Legislature — running a drill on our rights — but we can make sure to give the Legislature something else to consider by sending letters using FPC’s built-in Take Action tools, sending faxes, and keeping the phones ringing off the hook Monday and Tuesday.
