Naughty and Nice List - What stores ban "Christmas"

This was just published by Liberty Counsel today.  Some stores refuse to recognize Christmas whatsoever.  Bah Humbug.



If you find a local store that openly celebrates Christmas, be sure to thank the manager!  Feel free to drop me a note, I'll add it to a local list!


NAUGHTY



 A.C. Moore – Web site: “Holiday Wishes From Us to You.” Report: 3 types of “Holiday” gift cards – when “Christmas” gift cards requested, store replied “We have to be politically correct.”
 Albertsons – Web site: “Holiday Solutions” without mention of “Christmas.”
 American Eagle – Web site: no mention of “Christmas.”
 American Girl – Web site: “joy to the girl” on home page. “Holiday” everywhere but no mention of “Christmas” except items named by manufacturers.


NICE



 Amazon.com – Web site: “Christmas Trees” and “Christmas” decorations.
 Barnes & Noble – Web site: “... free delivery by Christmas” on home page. Local stores play “Christmas” music.
 Bass Pro Shops – Web site: “Time Passes … Hold on to Christmas” and “Classic Christmas” section. “Christmas” music playing in stores.
 Bath and Body Works – Web site home page: “The Perfect Christmas…at Home,” “Spread Christmas Cheer with Holiday Home Fragrances” and “The Perfect Christmas Book.”
 Bed, Bath, and Beyond – Web site: “Christmas Décor” section and “Merry Christmas” gift cards.

SB174 - Microstamping on handguns bill - PUBLIC HEARING on December 1

Committee on Judiciary, Corrections, Insurance, Campaign Finance Reform, and Housing PUBLIC HEARING

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

11:00 AM - or immediately following the executive session, whichever is later.

411 South - State Capitol
SB 174

Senate Bill 174 - Relating to: creating a microstamping requirement for certain handguns, certification of compliance with the microstamping requirement, requiring the exercise of rule-making authority, and providing penalties.

By Senators Coggs and Taylor; cosponsored by Representatives Young, A. Williams, Turner, Berceau, Grigsby, Colon, Richards, Kessler, Sinicki and Pasch. 

From the NRA-ILA:

Problems with "Micro-Stamping"

• "Micro-stamping" has repeatedly failed in tests.
•  "Micro-stampings" are easily removed.
• Most gun crimes cannot be solved by "micro-stamping," or do not require "micro-stamping" to be solved.  
• Most criminals get guns through unregulated channels.
• "Micro-stamping" would increase gun thefts, home invasions and burglaries, and expand the black market in guns..
• Most guns do not automatically eject fired cartridge cases.
• Only a small percentage of guns would be "micro-stamped."
• Most violent crimes don't involve guns. According to the FBI, 3/4 of violent crimes, including 1/3 of murders and 3/5 of robberies, are committed without guns.⁹
• "Micro-stamping" would waste money better spent on traditional crime-fighting and crime-solving efforts.
• "Micro-stamping" would expose police departments to lawsuits if officers fired "unsafe handguns."

Contact your State Senator and let them know you are against the bill.

Happy Thanksgiving

READ AGENDA HERE

Cloture vote on Reid's health care bill TOMORROW.

Reid is trying to push a health care bill that will fund abortions with taxpayer money.  Read below.  Take action.  Time is short.

From Traditional Values Coalition:
ON SATURDAY, "in a rare weekend session, the U.S. Senate is being forced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to vote on his 2,000+ page health care bill that funds abortion.
Reid’s health care bill was crafted in secret with Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and others without input from most Senators.
Reid’s bill will fund abortion on demand with taxpayer money and includes numerous tax increases as well.
The “cloture” vote on Saturday needs 60 votes to pass. This vote will be on a motion to move ahead with a vote on the bill itself. Once the cloture vote is won, the Reid’s abortion-funding bill can pass with a simple majority.
In short, if your Senator votes for cloture on Saturday, she or he is voting to pass the bill itself and to fund abortion with your tax dollars.
Senators can use their cloture vote to claim that all they wanted to do was to let the vote come to the floor – when in fact, they know that by casting their vote for cloture, the abortion-funding bill is sure to pass with a simple majority.


IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED: Time is of the essence.

On Saturday, you will have to contact their Washington D.C. offices.
