Milford, NH –-(Ammoland.com)- We have been informed that Senator Ayotte is currently “undecided” on the question of whether or not to vote to confirm Loretta Lynch for U.S. Attorney General. Make no mistake, Loretta Lynch is cut from the same cloth as Eric Holder.
As attorney general, she will advance the same lawless, rabidly anti-gun agenda that spawned the “Fast and Furious” and “Operation Choke Point” scandals.
Even John McCain, who is far from a strong proponent of the right to keep and bear arms said: “no Republican should vote for her confirmation.”
Lynch is known to completely support extreme gun-ban fantasies such as a complete ban on semi-automatics. So anyone who votes for Lynch will, by extension, be voting to support such a ban.
So a vote for Lynch is a vote to ban semi-autos. But even worse, if confirmed as Attorney General, Lynch is being groomed to be the fifth anti-gun vote on the Supreme Court. When Lynch, who has been dubbed “Eric Holder in a skirt,” bootstraps her AG job into a Supreme Court seat, the Heller and McDonald cases will both be reversed. The Second Amendment, as far as the courts are concerned, won’t be worth the paper that it’s written on.
The Lynch nomination is going to be filibustered by pro-gun Republicans. To shut off that filibuster, Harry Reid will have to intrude upon the Republicans’ prerogatives and circulate a petition to shut off their filibuster — a document called a “cloture petition” (which must be signed by sixteen senators). But remember, it was just about 2 years ago that Senator Ayotte refused to support a filibuster to stop gun control. Maybe this time she will do the right thing.

When you call or write, remind Senator Ayotte that on question 23 of her 2010 Candidate Survey, she promised to make the right to bear arms a test for all federal appointments. Tell her that you expect her to keep her word and vote no on the Lynch nomination. Let her know that you expect her to support the expected filibuster AND that you expect her to oppose any “cloture petition” that is presented. In short, you expect Senator Ayotte to vote no on the Loretta Lynch nomination at EVERY step in the process.

Additional talking points for Senator Ayotte’s office:
Tell her:
(1) Don’t be the single deciding vote to confirm Loretta Lynch for Attorney General, a person who is in line to be the fifth anti-gun vote on the Supreme Court. A vote for Lynch is a vote to ban semi-autos.
(2) Don’t sign Harry Reid’s cloture petition to shut down a pro-gun filibuster.
(3) Don’t side with Harry Reid and cast the deciding vote to shut down a pro-gun filibuster.
(4) Support the appeal to the ruling of the chair to require that Lynch receive 60 votes in order to reach a confirmation vote.
Thanks for your support.

Kelly, don’t be smelly.
‘Nuff said.
It seems that Loretta lynch’s reputation has preceded her – hung by the tongue. I’m for trying and lynching her on the floor of the Senate, may she rest in liberal pieces.
Hatch from Utah is a typical liberal thorn in the side. The people who have elected him should be ashamed! I believe he is there because of money and power – not by being a good representative. Additionally, at this point, I would not trust anyone that was nominated by Obama. Clearly, I have no trust in him.
Republican trader Orin Hatch of Utah is set on confirming Lynch, everyone in Utah should contact his office to get him to change his mind,
Better yet, everyone in Utah needs to make certain Mr. Hatch is promptly un-elected the next time he comes up for re-election. Or conduct something similar to what Colorado did with their now un-elected (actually recalled) anti-second amendment legislators.
