Federal Legislative Roundup

While Bloomberg is working to erode our rights, NRA is concentrating on strengthening them.  There are a number of pro-gun bills pending in Congress that require your action. Please review these legislative initiatives and be sure to contact your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121, and your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121, and urge him or her to cosponsor and support these measures. Additional contact information can be found using the "Write Your Reps" feature at www.NRAILA.org.
