Everyone call Gov. Bush's office and politely tell him we will not support him for President if he is going to Back the ban on private firearm sales at gun shows or anywhere else. Think about this... If all sales MUST be approved by instant check, what is to stop Slick Willy from stopping ALL firearm sales by executive order? This is truly scary stuff!

It has been reported around Texas and the Nation, that
Governor George Bush has decided to embarrass Texans.
The Houston Chronicle reported:
AUSTIN - Gov. George W. Bush, in the wake of the Colorado
school shooting last week, endorsed a controversial gun
control proposal that had been killed only hours earlier
by a Texas House committee. The panel chairman, who voted
against the bill, said the governor had never told him he
supported it. Bush's statement also surprised supporters
of the measure, which would require instant criminal
background checks of people buying firearms from unlicensed
sellers at gun shows. The House Public Safety Committee
rejected Danburg's gun show bill, House Bill 1199, late
Tuesday night, the same evening that news of the school
shooting in Littleton, Colo., which left 15 people dead,
was rocking the country. Rep. Bob Turner, D-Coleman,
chairman of the House Public Safety Committee, said the
governor's post-Littleton comments were "a bit of a
knee-jerk reaction probably." "To this moment, the
governor has never talked to me about the bill," said
Turner, who voted against the measure.

http://www.goa-texas.org/pub-saf-1.htm
We appreciate the entire Public Safety Committee, and
especially Rep. Bob Turner for taking the heat, and
standing for the 2nd amendment.
It is interesting to note that there was NO communication
that Governor Bush was in favor of Rep. Danburg's gun show
bill. That is, until it was time to play politics, after
the horrific tragedy in Colorado. This, after the Public
Safety committee vote represented the peoples will in
Texas by defeating Danburg's anti-gun show bill!
This was a critical point, where Governor Bush could have
made Texans proud that he is our Governor, and a POSSIBLE
PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER. And, we had really hoped that since
he had signed our CHL law in 1995, that he would stand
firm NOW.
Now, we see the real Governor George Bush of Texas. NOW the
question is: What will he do if he becomes President??
You know, Senator Bob Smith is looking better every day
for the Republican Presidential nomination. Senator Smith
stood firm against the NICS background checks, and tried
to stop the FBI from keeping a list of the names of gun
owners. And this was against all odds! Go to

this issue.

ACTION ITEMS
*************
THIS IS WHEN WE FIND OUT IF GOVERNOR BUSH IS THE MAN WE
NEED FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. EVEN IF YOUR NOT
A TEXAN, THERE STANDS THE CHANCE THAT THIS MAN MAY BE
YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. PLEASE HELP US WITH THE ITEMS BELOW:
Interestingly, Congressional leaders from both parties
in D.C. are not enthusiastic about the Clinton anti-gun
proposals. Even Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle
said: "I'm not sure that gun legislation is what we
need."
Some reporters have tied that reluctance, and Clinton's
reluctance to push for broader measures, to the switch
from Democrat to Republican control of both houses in
1994, which Clinton publicly stated was due to Democrat
votes for the "assault weapons ban."
Governor Bush needs to know your immense dissatisfaction
in his "knee-jerk reaction" regarding Rep. Danburg's HB 1199.
Let him know the same voting power that brought about the
defeat of the anti-gunners in Washington D.C. back when
the assault weapons ban & Brady bill was passed, is alive
and well in Texas, and we would much rather use our
influence in his Presidential nomination. Let him know
that his financial lead in his Presidential quest could
easily dry up by alienating the pro-gun vote. Remember,
it was Bill Clinton who declared why many of his own
party were no longer with him, after the Republican
sweep. He credited the Gun Lobby! Remember to temper
your conversation with a bit of "diplomacy". Rude and
hateful comments will only set us back.
But he must renounce his support for Danburg's anti-gun
show ban!
Also, remind him of bills in Calendars Committee: HB 1020,
HB 1021, HB 1035, HB 1165 HB 1776, HB 2240, HB 2323 just
to name a few. Tell him to prove to us that he is on our
side by using his influence on the Calendars committee to
pass these pro-gun bills!
You may also have him prove his worth by having him use
his influence in pressing the Criminal Jurisprudence
committee for hearing on HB 3398, Vermont carry for Texas!
