Tell Your Member of Congress to Vote “Yes” on Holder Contempt Resolution

Today—Thursday, June 27—the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on whether to hold Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. in contempt of Congress, and to authorize a civil lawsuit to enforce the contempt resolution.

These votes are a result of the Obama-Holder Justice Department’s open defiance of legitimate demands for documents about the “Fast and Furious” program—documents that are needed for a complete congressional investigation of one of the most disastrous episodes in the history of federal law enforcement.

The Case for Contempt of Congress

Back in February, U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) promised to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress if Holder didn’t hand over Justice Department documents that had been subpoenaed as part of an ongoing investigation into the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ now-infamous “Operation Fast and Furious” gun-walking operation. This week, Rep. Issa–chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee–made good on the pledge and sent out a draft Contempt Order against Holder to members of the committee.  Read more

Eric Holder: Brainwash people’s thinking about guns

Attorney Eric Holder had this to say in 1995.  “I’ve asked the school board to make a part of every day some kind of anti-violence, anti-gun message: every school, every day, at every level.  We need to do this every day of the week and just brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.”  Hear him in his own words at the link below:

“No More Weapons!” Sign Erected Along U.S.–Mexican Border

Last week, Mexican President Felipe Calderon unveiled a “billboard” near the U.S. border made of crushed firearms formed into the words, “No More Weapons!”

CCRKBA Blasts “Blame Shifters” in Senate

 

BELLEVUE, WA – Today’s hearing on Operation Fast and Furious before the Senate Judiciary Committee once again provided an opportunity for two leading Senate gun prohibitionists to try spreading the blame for botched gun trafficking, and change the debate to arguments for more gun control, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said.

The committee questioned Attorney General Eric Holder for two hours on Fast and Furious, and other Justice Department issues. But it was about the seriously mishandled gun trafficking investigation where committee partisans tried their bait-and-switch routine, CCRKBA said.
