Dear John,
There's no way around it -- this was a horrible week for Americans like you and me who believe in rule of law and the Constitution. It's disheartening to see the leaders of our beloved country trample all over the principles which made America great. Even the Supreme Court, which like the President and the Congress is obliged to uphold the Constitution, has in the span of two days issued rulings on marriage and Obamacare that undermine the rule of law and ignore the Constitution. Reporters and pundits are already saying these decisions are the final word. You and I know better. And we at The Heritage Foundation won't sit back and allow this contempt for the Constitution to continue. Add your name to our open letter demanding that the rule of law and the Constitution be upheld. With your dedication and support, we can get America back to the principles you believe in: free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. Sign our open letter to Congress to today. Thank you for all you do. Your support makes us stronger, so we can make your voice louder. Sincerely, Jim DeMint President |

LaPierre recently testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the NRA no longer supports background checks for all gun sales. A Bloomsberg spokesman would say only that the ad cost in the six-figure range....
