Kerry Signs UN Arms Treaty Today, Secretary of State John Kerry signed the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty on behalf of the Obama administration. The National Rifle Association strongly opposes this treaty, which is a clear violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. "The Obama administration is once again demonstrating its contempt for our fundamental, individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms," said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action. "This treaty threatens individual firearm ownership with an invasive registration scheme. The NRA will continue working with the United States Senate to oppose ratification of the ATT." Read more  here .

Tuesday, September 24th Shutdown Showdown We are just days away from the start of ObamaCare and the end of the fiscal year. This means that we are in the crucial moments in the effort to defund ObamaCare and avert a government shutdown.

I am hopeful that ObamaCare can be defunded or repealed, but the prime selling point of the law was that those individuals who were already covered by health insurance, would not be affected. Did that change? So if federal government employees, all of whom are already covered under existing federal health insurance, why do they need an exemption, and why are us conservatives making such a big deal of it?     Check out Amazon free 30 day trial for Amazon Prime, click image Sent by John Hames Click here to save $10 on National Rifle Association Membership , you will be glad you did!

 WASHINGTON EXAMINER 3 Hours Ago Tangled in Obamacare fight, GOP senators wonder: How did this happen? by  Byron York There was a question hanging in the air as Republican senators met privately at midday Tuesday to discuss the divisive fight over defunding Obamacare:  How did this get to be about us? With all the "train wreck" problems of Obamacare coming into view just days before the health plan's exchanges are scheduled to go on line -- rising costs, lost jobs, reduced hours, and more -- how did Washington become entangled not in those issues, which will affect millions of people, but in an insider drama among a few Republicans who all agree Obamacare should go but disagree on the best tactics to fight it? Tuesday was the day it became unavoidably clear to Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, the leaders of the defunding-by-filibuster fight, that their effort will fail for lack of Republican support. Cruz and Lee had asked their fellow Republicans to filibuster the House-pass
