Wanted to pass it along.
Howdy Pennsylvania Firearm Owners,
In our last alert we let you all know about a host of misguided, pointless, and generally bad bills up for consideration in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Now it shouldn't come as a surprise that we here at the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association think that laws creating complicated registration schemes, banning commonly used semi-automatic rifles, and other such nonsense are terrible, but have we got a surprise for you!
So does Pennsylvania House Representative Samuel Rohrer from the 130th district in Berks County. In fact he thinks they're such bad ideas that he's put up a petition to collect names of people who agree so we can all oppose these ridiculous bills that serve only to make criminals out of the good guys like you and me.
Now keep in mind, this isn't your average petition that no one will read, this is a serious petition created by one of our elected officials in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives!
You can read Mr. Rohrer's full press release regarding the petition here:
http://gw_pahouseit_district128.psinternal.net/mail/util.cfm?gpiv=1999954525.25711.76&gen=1Now, there are two ways to sign this petition:
Your first option is to visit his district office located at:
29 Village Center Drive
Suite A7
Reading, PA 19607
(610) 775-5130
Or, you can sign it online at:
http://www.reprohrer.com/?sectionid=73§iontree=73We strongly urge everyone reading this alert to sign the petition one way or another. If you live nearby it may be worth it to head over and sign it in person. We have a chance to show our elected officials that we are a serious voting block and that we will not stand for having our rights questioned and infringed from every angle.
After you've signed this petition we also urge you to forward this information to everyone you know who cares about the right to keep and bear arms. Post it on other Internet discussion boards, email it to your friends, family, and co-workers who support safe, responsible firearm ownership. It is very important we get as many people as possible signing this petition!
Lastly, regardless of whether you live in Mr. Rohrer's district or not, I would encourage everyone to write him a letter or make a phone call to his office and thank for him standing up and calling these bills out for what they are, and defending firearm owners state wide. It's just as important to voice our opinions in support of good action, as it is to voice our opinions against bad ones. Letting Mr. Rohrer know that we appreciate his support and straight talk will encourage him to keep it going and provide another voice in support of our rights against the onslaught of the politicians who want to take them away.
His main office address and phone number is:
45 East Wing
PO Box 202128
Harrisburg, PA 17120-2128
