Elizabeth and Jason Okon

La Crosse, WI. 54603
Dear Governor Palin,
My name is Elizabeth O’kon. I am the proud wife of SPC. Jason O’kon. I have a story I would like to share with you. My husband served in Iraq in 2005 with the 73rd Engineers, in the Stryker Brigade. I remember him coming home on R and R and telling me how terrified and afraid he was that he believed he was coming home in a box. That he wouldn’t survive.

On Friday, March 5th at 10 AM, the Senate Appropriations Committee will debate and vote on SB 1108. The sponsor of SB 1108, Committee Chairman Senator Russell Pearce, has proposed a “strike everything” amendment that replaces SB 1108, in its entirety, with the intended language from SB 1102 (Constitutional Carry).
SB 1102, which was headed for a Senate floor vote, was derailed last week after the attachment of the Cheuvront amendment creating a Class 4 Felony for private sellers of firearms who fail to verify a buyer’s citizenship when the sale is conducted at a gun show.
Please contact the Senate Appropriations Committee members, using the letter below, and urge them to vote FOR the passage of SB 1108 with only those amendments proposed by the bill’s sponsor.

Snippets from Washington Independent; ‘Birther’ Conspiracy Roils GOP Campaigns – State Legislators, Party Strategists Keep Anti-Obama Rumors Alive -
South Carolina-Bill 3389, freshman state Rep. Tommy Stringer has introduced legislation that would amend the state’s election code to make sure that “a candidate for President or Vice President of the United States may not have his name printed on a ballot in this State unless there is conclusive evidence that he is a natural born citizen of the United States.”…

Over the past week, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has rolled out a list of blue-chip GOP political endorsements in his primary contest against challenger J.D. Hayworth — and his campaign said more are on the way.
It’s part of a concerted effort to remind primary voters of his stature, as well as an attempt to undercut Hayworth’s claim to be the conservative candidate in the Aug. 24 primary before his challenger can gain any traction.
To neutralize Hayworth’s claim on tea party movement voters, McCain has unveiled his backing from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and newly minted Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) — both plan to stump on his behalf. Read the rest.

People Lining Up for McDonald v. Chicago

Washington, DC - -(AmmoLand.com)- This case was way more complicated than Heller.
Both attorneys faced hostility from the bench. Chicago’s lawyer got hit from all sides with little in the way of what you might call support. But the surprise was the way Alan Gura got blasted, even by the best friend gun-rights has up there, Justice Scalia.
Whoever or however we believed the Court might be ready to review the Privileges or Immunities clause of 14A was totally wrong. Every Justice had problems with the scope of such a decision, and poor Gura had to withstand withering assaults on his reasoning and approach.
