I can’t stress enough how the people in Cook County need to call their county
board commissioners. As you know they are planning to vote on an “assault
weapons” ban on Sept. 8th. You and I know these are not assault weapons just
ordinary semi-auto rifles. This could be M-1 Garands which many people own and
take to the range. It’s an assault all right!! It’s an assault on your 2nd
Amendment rights and you need to jump up and holler (in a polite way) and let
your commissioner know your feelings.
One commissioner Joan Murphy already has changed her mind about supporting this
ban because of calls from her constituents. We have won victories in Springfield
this year through phone calls to our legislators telling them how right and
wrong certain bills were. If we have already changed the mind of one
commissioner we can change the minds of others, or at least have someone on the
board speaking against it, because they have been educated through phone calls.
Don’t lay down and die, people. Get up and fight!! You need to tell everyone you
know that lives in Cook County to get on the horn. We have a couple of weeks so
let’s make a concentrated effort to burn up the lines. First, read the
proposed ordinance. Then, here is a link to the
list of the names and numbers of all the Cook County Commissioners on the Cook
County site. Go there and let the wireless become tireless in the next two
weeks. If we don’t hang together, we shall all hang separately. They didn’t back
off at Concord and the same spirit needs to live in us now.
Like they say in chess, “It’s your move”.
