ALERT!!!ALERT!!!! ALERT !!! DANGER!! LOSS OF RIGHTS!!!!!

Keep in mind that Clinton's ability to make law through executive orders is somewhat limited by Congress (although congresspeople don't like to talk about it, because it would reduce their ability to cast blame on the White House). For example, the reason Clinton didn't go through with his promise to issue an executive order banning discrimination against homosexuals in the armed forces (all the way back in 1992) is because it was made clear to him that a coalition of democrats and republicans would have undone his action in Congress.

Gorthaur;
Thank You For your post explaining
that the www.executiveorder.org/ issue
was not of Condition Red Alert quality.

I really thought that we were going to be in for it bigtime come Nov 2000 and that if Clinton did not do it that Gore probably would.

I still do not trust either of them
or even Bush for that matter and I believe
that we should all support controls on executive orders as soon as reasonably
possible.

Now ,we have more time to work with
and more people with a hightened awareness
of the problem as well as a historical prospective of the damage done by executive orders in the past.

Because of this I am glad of this thread. I have learned a lot from your reply,for which I thank you.

I was not keeping up with the other
progun boards, as I usually just stay here at home on TFL.

After all, there is only so much time I can spend each day reading gun boards and I was right about missing something.
Thanks for filling in the missing blanks.

I was not "crying wolf" , as in lack of contrary information which you just now provided to me and in light of the 3
historical precidences of misuse of executive orders and the two bills pending sponsirship in the house & the senate,
I felt that there was cause for significant ligitimate concern . There is still cause for this concern, but we have a lot more time to react to it now, THANK GOD!

Tonight, I get a GOOD WORRY FREE SLEEP!

And During and After Nov 2000, I'll keep a carefull eye on not only Clinton & Gore ,
but also G dubbia for abuse of executive orders.

And I again urge all most strongly to write
and call your congressmen and representatives
and go to www.executiveorders.org/
if you have not already done so.

UNELSE WE GET SAFE GUARDS IN PLACE, EXECUTIVE ORDERS WILL AGAIN BE USED AGAINST OUR SECOND AMMENDMENT RIGHTS.

It is still going to happen,
unless we move to stop it from occuring, just, it seems, not quite as soon as I thought.

Firearms Confiscation happened very fast in England , and Firearms Confiscation happened very fast in Australlia and it is happening rather quickly in Canada. A done deal, all over but for the tears and crying.

I wonder just when they are going to try to pull the very fast one on the USA.

My friend, Leadfoot, mentioned that
this is becoming an "Internet Legend". I certainly hope that he is right about that!

The more people that go to www.executiveorders.org
The better I will feel!

Gore is another one like Clinton and he (shudder) might just get in.
Would you feel
good about Gore having unrestricted ExecutiveOrders powers. (shudder...shake..
heart skipping a beat!)

Lets see about getting some safe guards in place, we might need them way sooner that some think, but I sincerely hope not!

I dont think that it is proper for any president (whoever he may be)of whatever party, TO BE ABLE TO USE EXECUTIVE ORDERS
to undermine,infringe,encraoch,schred up and
salimi slice and otherwise trample all over our Constitution.

We owe it to our children to leave to them an America that STILL HAS A CONSTITUTION AND A BILL OF RIGHTS THAT MEANS WHAT IT SAYS and not what the current administration would like for it to say ,instead.
 
Executive orders only allow the president to affect the Executive Branch of gov't and to exercise the powers granted to the Executive Office by the Constitution and/or Congress. Clinton can no more order federal gun registration/licensing than he can dictate which side of the bed you sleep on. There is no law on registration/licensing now and he can't create one via
