[Peace-discuss] ACTION ALERT: Call Rep. Hastert on Assault Weapons Ban!!

[Brooke Anderson]

Dear friends,

As you know, the federal assault weapons ban is set to expire on 
September 13, 2004 unless Congress takes action to pass new 
legislation. If Congress does not act, these dangerous military-style 
assault weapons will once again become legal.

Despite the fact that legislation has been introduced in the U.S. 
House and Senate to renew the ban, many members of Congress - 
including leaders like House Speaker Dennis Hastert - do not want 
debate or votes on Assault Weapons Ban legislation before the 
November elections. That's why CCHCC is joining with other groups 
throughout the state to call on Speaker Hastert to take action.

Please join Champaign County Health Care Consumers in a day-long 
call-in campaign to Speaker Dennis Hastert asking him to bring the 
Assault Weapons Ban to a vote in the U.S. Congress! We are aiming to 
generate 50 calls to Speaker Hastert's district office today and 
tomorrow (June 24-25th). Your call could bring us one call closer to 
that goal!

  --->  CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO TAKE ACTION:
        http://www.prairienet.org/cchcc/AWB/call_Hastert.html

On the website, you'll find:

  1. A sample script
  2. Hastert's phone number
  3. A "I took action" form to send us to let us know you called
  4. A letter you can download, sign, and mail in to Rep. Hastert

Thanks again for taking action and for your support of CCHCC's 
efforts to renew and strengthen the federal Assault Weapons Ban. 
Don't forget to visit the website, call Hastert, and let us know that 
you took action!

Sincerely,

Brooke Anderson, Community Organizer
