We are advised today by Virginia Rep. Jim LeMunyon that the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Bill Goodlatte, has volunteered to send letters of support on our behalf to state legislative leaders around the country. This is huge. Mainly because one of the points naysayers make against us is that once we get to 34 Congress will then step in to control, or sabotage, the whole enterprise. This fear is based on ignorance and paranoid fantasy. The fact that the House Judiciary Chairman says this is all bullshit will carry some weight. We’re drafting a letter fro Goodlatte to sign, and will provide him with names and addresses of legislative leaders in target states.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has come out in full support of the BBA through Article V. He’s not real popular with the Republicans in the LA legislature, so it’s not like he’ll push this through for us. But it does, once again, demonstrate the political attractiveness of embracing our effort. Jindal is usually mentioned as one of those Governors who could get the R nomination, along with Christie, Walker, Pence, and Kasich. With him now on board, and Walker shortly to follow (I think) we’ll have a solid base of support in Presidential candidates. I don’t care about Christie. The media talk him up, and he’s ahead in some polling, but it’s all bullshit. Christie won’t get the nomination. The NRA will see to that.
For the second time lately, a piece in the American Thinker talked about Article V, giving the CoS position its approval. For the second time, I submitted a comment pointing out the superiority of the BBA4USA approach. And for the second time my comment was deleted. The boys at AT are in the tank for Mike Farris of CoS, I’m betting. No biggie. Time will tell. And the truth will out.
And the truth is, we’re picking up steam.
