Please Attend U.S. Senate Gun Control Hearing Tomorrow! Show Your Support for The Second Amendment and NRA!

Tuesday, January 29, 2013

Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 30, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing entitled “What Should America Do About Gun Violence?”.

The hearing will be held in the Hart Senate Office Building, Room 216, and is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. Since we expect this hearing to be well attended, it’s important you arrive by 8:00am.

NRA Executive Vice President, Wayne LaPierre, will be among those testifying. You can bet the anti-gunners will be trying to mobilize their supporters to pack the hearing room and we need to make sure the room is filled with Second Amendment supporters!

Please make plans to attend this hearing and arrive two hours early prior to the scheduled start to increase the chances that you will be able to get a seat. Do not bring any signs, placards or literature, and please be sure to dress appropriately for an event being held on Capitol Hill. All attendees will go through airport-like security.
