Years ago, GOA's Founder and Chairman H.L. "Bill" Richardson wrote a book entitled, What Makes You Think We Read the Bills? As a former state senator, Richardson knew of the antics and dirty tricks that go on in our legislatures across the country.
Today, Americans are beginning to demand that their legislators read the bills. But despite the appeals to do so, some legislators -- like Democrat Rep. John Conyers of Michigan -- are digging in their heels.
Take a look at this video and see for yourself.
In What Makes You Think We Read the Bills, you'll be both amused and outraged at Sen. Richardson's tales of the day to day shenanigans in your state and national capitols.
Does your legislator suddenly stop being your representative? He's just suffered Peer-Group Shift (see Chapter 12). Does the majority elect? (find the answer in Chapter 18). There are wildly funny chapters -- Ze Mooz (4), Burros and the Pill (9), Gangrene and the Board of Education (16) -- as well as plenty of straight talk about how and why our legislators are no longer ours.
Throughout, Sen. Richardson's breezy text is the underlying theme that "this can't go on much longer, enough is enough!" He offers many thoughtful reflections on why our legislatures have gone off the tracks, and scores of helpful suggestions how to put things right.

House Leaders Pull D.C. Voting Rights Act
Great news!
GOA members' activism is having a tremendous impact on Capitol Hill.
After the Senate passed an amendment last week to repeal the Washington, D.C. gun ban, GOA alerted activists that the anti-gun House leadership intended to strip the amendment from the underlying bill.
The House Rules Committee had scheduled a hearing this week to craft a "rule" to bring the bill to the floor without the pro-gun amendment. After an outpouring of opposition from gun owners, the entire bill was pulled from consideration.
The pro-gun amendment, sponsored by Sen. John Ensign (R-NV), was attached to a bill that would give the District of Columbia a full voting member in the House of Representatives.
That bill, S. 160, was fraught with Constitutional problems, not the least of which is that Article 1, Section 2, of the Constitution requires that representatives to the House be elected from “each State.” D.C., of course, is not a State.
If D.C. is granted a voting member of Congress, it not only guarantees the anti-gunners will gain a permanent House seat, but is also a stepping stone to gaining two anti-gun Senators as well.
Here’s the bottom line: gun owners have succeeded in slowing down an anti-gun, unconstitutional bill, while at the same time proving that there is strong support to repeal the D.C. gun ban.
Anti-gunners have not given up, however, and the latest move may simply be a tactical retreat by the Democrat leadership to buy time to twist more arms to pick up the votes needed to pass the D.C. voting rights bill without the gun ban repeal.
Gun Owners of America will continue to push for a complete repeal of the D.C. gun ban.
