Write your reply.

assistant: Pro-gun has _no_ chance with Dole.  What kind of chance do you have with
someone who engineered final passage of the Brady Bill in the senate?  What
kind of chance do you have with Magazine-Banning-Dole.  All Klinton did was
sign everything Dole voted for . . . .
Who do you think has been blocking repeal of the Magazine Ban & the Brady
Bill?
"Intelligent" enough to make your vote anti-gun!
No, first you've got to have the balls to cast a vote of your conscience.
Once the gun owners reaffirm Dole's "YES" votes on the Brady Bill &
Magazine Ban, by voting for Dole, he will be an unstoppable anti-gunner &
will usher in Brady II.  He'll get it slipped through much easier than
Klinton because all the gun owning traitors will be asleep, thinking the
Repubs & NRA will be taking care of them.  He'll slosh it through slicker
that he did the Brady Bill.
You have your supposed "conservative" majority in congress now.  However,
both Gingrich & Dole have used all the power required to block Steve
Stockman's attempt to repeal the magazine ban & repeal the Brady Bill!
Dole's present actions really put a hole in your theory . . . .  What you
really have in both houses of congress is a Fascist Socialist majority,
sucking up bribes & doing what the boys with money want.
Show me Dole's "malleability!"  It's just not there now & it won't be there
later.  Dole is a Fascist.
No mate . . . only in _your_ action.  If you chose to reaffirm Dole's anti-
gun votes for Brady & the Magazine Ban, you are voting for an anti-gunner &
everything the trash represents.  That's not my opinion . . . its your
choice.
... We made an ARRANGEMENT.  We LET that bill (Brady) PASS. - Sen Bob Dole
