Dear Patriot,
We asked you to sign the petition.
We asked you to call your Senators.
And once again, you delivered, so THANK YOU.
We sent your petitions in via fax, flooding
the Senate with a loud message that can't be ignored: Don't
confirm David Chipman as Director of the ATF!
Patriot, I don't think they were expecting
it, but so far, we are holding the line.
Your help is making a huge difference in the
battle to stop the anti-gun zealot Chipman from advancing out of
committee.
The vote on Chipman's confirmation was pulled
from the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today, which is great
news -- for now.
But now it's time to double down and turn up
the heat.
We are hearing Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
(D-NY) has a few tricks left up his sleeve to bring the
nomination back as early as next week.
You and I can send Chipman packing and doom
this abominable nomination, but Campaign for Liberty needs your
help.
First, if you haven't yet signed your
petition to your U.S. Senators demanding they oppose the Chipman
nomination at every turn, please do so now.
Second, forward this to all of your
pro-liberty and pro-Second Amendment friends so they too can sign
and make our voices even louder.
And finally, you can chip in $9 or more
immediately, so we can crank up the heat on the Senate even more
and stop the Chipman nomination dead in its tracks.
Dr. Paul's message below is as true today as
when he sent it earlier this week. Please read it and take
action now.
For Liberty,
John McCardell
Executive Director
Campaign for Liberty
________Forwarded Message________
Dear Patriot,
The Biden agenda is shaping up to be the most
flagrantly anti-Second Amendment one that we've ever seen.
But Biden is too afraid to deliver the
message that his administration wants to turn law-abiding gun
owners into potential felons.
He'll be thrilled to hand that job over to
gun grabbing zealot David Chipman.
The vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee to
advance Chipman's nomination as Director of the ATF to the Senate
floor is this Thursday, and we are dangerously close to the
nightmare of "Director Chipman" becoming a reality.
One statement by Chipman on an Internet post,
which was reported by CNN, should have disqualified him from ever
holding any position of power.
He insisted that based on studies he did
while previously at the ATF, people who fail background checks
should be arrested for pre-crime offenses, something that would
completely flip our justice system on its head.
Chipman has never apologized or backtracked
for supporting this pre-crime policy that would make the Chinese
Communists very happy.
When Chipman worked for a Michael
Bloomberg-funded gun control group, he said the AR-15, the most
popular rifle in America, should be treated like a "machine gun"
and banned completely.
Chipman's hearing in the Senate Judiciary
Committee a few weeks ago didn't go any better, when he confirmed
his intentions to ban all so-called "assault weapons."
When asked to define what an assault weapon
is, he at first refused but then gave a definition that would
include every modern sporting rifle on the market today.
When asked by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) about
Senator Feinstein's (D-CA) bill to ban more than 2,000 different
types of firearms, Chipman said it didn't go far enough because
it didn't target law-abiding gun owners who have previously
purchased those weapons.
Not only is David Chipman in favor of
arresting people for pre-crime, but he also wants to
retroactively go after gun owners who have weapons he doesn't
like!
Chipman isn't trying to hide the fact he
wants innocent and law-abiding Americans to give up their right
to protect their families and their property, and put their names
into another government database, while the criminals surely
won't comply with any of it.
Could Biden have made a more disturbing pick
for the person to head up the ATF?
Time is short with the Judiciary Committee
vote on Thursday. Sign the petition to your U.S. Senators
demanding they vote AGAINST David Chipman's confirmation.
If you have already signed, I ask you to
forward the petition link to a friend.
David Chipman also said during his hearing
that any law-abiding gun owner is a potential criminal.
Did he forget the definition of
"law-abiding?"
Biden's radical gun control bills have been
stalling at various stages of the process, but he thinks Chipman
heading the ATF is an end-around on Congress.
Is there any doubt, based on Chipman's own
statements, that he would use the ATF to target specific guns for
confiscation based on some kind of perceived "emergency?"
His potential boss, Joe Biden, is using
executive orders to target the owners of certain firearm
accessories, making them instant criminals simply for possessing
them.
Biden and Chipman have no respect for
individual rights or even the law-making process.
They only seek to expand their power by
destroying your ability to defend yourself.
Chipman's nomination must be stopped now.
Sign the petition!
Despite some legislative setbacks, Biden's
radical gun control agenda is alive and well, and he's made it
clear it is a top priority. Your rushed donation of $25, $50,
$75, or more will go a long way to helping Campaign for Liberty
defeat it!
If his current statements about gun bans and
pre-crime and his vitriol aimed at law-abiding gun owners isn't
enough, a look at Chipman's history with the ATF is even worse!
While he was an agent for the ATF, Chipman
was stationed in Waco, TX and participated in the aftermath of
the assault on the Branch Davidian compound. After a 51-day
standoff with the members of the compound in February of 1993,
the compound was raided by a combination of federal agents from
the FBI, ATF, and local law enforcement.
The Branch Davidians were suspected of
possessing "illegal weapons."
Chipman later claimed that the Branch
Davidians had shot down helicopters with those weapons, a claim
which was completely refuted by a U.S. House of Representatives'
report.
The end result after the standoff,
teargassing, and gun fights instigated by the ATF was 4 dead
federal agents and 78 members of the Branch Davidians, including
25 children who were killed in the fires that engulfed the
compound.
Patriot, I'm worried history is about to
repeat itself in the worst possible way, if David Chipman is
confirmed to head the ATF.
With the vote in the Senate Judiciary
Committee coming this Thursday, we don't have much time to act!
Sign the petition to your U.S. Senators
demanding they vote NO on the confirmation of Biden's extremist
pick for the head of the ATF, David Chipman.
We need your help to hold the line and
protect the Second Amendment from Biden and Chipman, please rush
a donation of $25, $50, $75, or more at once.
After leaving the ATF, Chipman has gone on to
positions with vicious gun-grabbing activist groups, showing his
true colors.
He worked as a lobbyist for Michael
Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety and later as senior policy
advisor at Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Patriot, I have no doubt that if Chipman
takes this post at the ATF, he will move to undermine Congress
and use the bureaucratic process combined with the abuse of law
enforcement resources to target gun owners, specific guns like
the AR-15, and we could even see Waco 2.0.
Time is running out to stop this
confirmation, so I'm urging you to take action immediately.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. Staying true to their mantra of "never
let a good crisis go to waste," the Big Government elites are
showing themselves to be determined to run roughshod over the
Second Amendment while they enact their socialist agenda.
