Tomorrow, the Brady Campaign is going to attempt to stage a massive call-in in support of the ban. They are being aided in this effort with AWB pieces on CNN and ABC World News Tonight as well as editorials in most major newspapers supporting renewal (Washington Post, NYT, USA Today, etc.)
I've even seen wire stories that managed to work in suggestions to call in - the media is absolutely biased on this issue.
Because we have worked hard, their chances are very slim and likely the only purpose is to try and work up their base that already dislikes Bush and wouldn't vote for him anyway.
However, it is important that these calls do not go unanswered. We need to make sure that they hear the pro-gun side as well. There are only a few days left and we have worked hard to get here, let's not let it slip from us at the last minute.

I called today and it took 5 minutes including the time waiting for a comment operator to become available. They are also asking what state you are calling from, so those of you from battleground states really will carry some weight and we need you to call. I know TN is well-represented on TFL and it is leaning close-enough that your calls would be especially helpful!
