We only have a few weeks to prevent this nightmare scenario.

John,


Congress is facing a September 30 deadline to fund the government or face a
government shutdown…


…And the last thing the Biden-Harris White House wants is a government
shutdown right before the election.


But with Congress only in town for three weeks before the September 30
deadline, it’s likely they will only pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) – a
temporary funding bill that lets Congress postpone the full funding bill to a
later date.


The question becomes… will they postpone the spending bill until right AFTER
the 2024 election – when politicians are no longer beholden to voters?


That’s what happened in 2022 when the soon-to-be ex-Speaker Pelosi pushed a
dozen anti-gun provisions in the massive government funding bill during the
lame duck session before she was forced to hand the Speaker’s gavel to the new
Republican House majority.


The last thing we want is for Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer to pass sweeping gun
control measures right before they lose power.


GOA is actively working with our allies on Capitol Hill to prevent that
doomsday scenario.


But it’s not enough just to play defense against the gun grabbers. We also
have a plan to use the Continuing Resolution to go on the offensive.


Congressman Chip Roy and the House Freedom Caucus are fighting to attach the
SAVE Act to a CR. The SAVE Act is a GOA-backed bill that would protect the
People’s right to vote by requiringPROOF OF CITIZENSHIP before you can vote in
federal elections. It already passed the House in July, 221-198.


Non-citizens and illegal aliens should not have the power to cast a deciding
vote on the fate of YOUR constitutionally protected, God-given rights.


That’s why GOA is asking YOU to pressure your Representative and Senators to
fight for a CR that avoids a post-election government funding bill – and to
vote for the SAVE Act to keep our elections free and fair.


Please add your name to our pre-written letter urging your Representative and
two Senators to ENACT the SAVE Act and VOTE NO on any attempt to kick the can
on a government spending bill to the lame duck session.

While Pelosi got away with sneaking a bunch of anti-gun provisions past voters
before vacating the Speaker’s chair, I also want to remind you of GOA’s
victories in the last government funding fight in March of this year.


GOA’s federal lobbying team was able to SLASH the ATF’s budget by historic
proportions, canceling an entire class of ATF agents.


We also halted the Veteran Fiduciary Rule, which had banned over a quarter of
a million veterans from exercising their Second Amendment rights, all because
they required financial assistance.


And right now, we’re pleased to report that Speaker Johnson seems to be on
board with this plan.


But, reports also indicate that Mitch McConnell – who has sold out gun owners
time and time again – opposes the idea of tying the SAVE Act to the CR.


That’s why we need the help of gun owners like YOU to bombard your
Representative and two Senators with letters urging them to fight for a CR that
avoids a post-election government funding bill – and to vote for the SAVE Act
to keep our elections free and fair.


So please, add your name to our pre-written letter urging your Representative
and two Senators to ENACT the SAVE Act and VOTE NO on any attempt to kick the
can on a government spending bill to the lame duck session.
