That Funny Democratic Party of Oregon!!
http://www.movermike.com/posts/1158885008.shtml


   Quick poll for you:

   Which party, Democratic or Republican is identified more with the NRA?
   Which party, Democratic or Republican, is favored by people who
   believe in the right to bear arms?
   Which party, Democratic or Republican is identified with gun control?
   What [1]West Coast liberal city voted for the nation's toughest ban on
   handguns by making it illegal for city residents to possess them?

   I ask because I just received my email from Kari Chisholm of Blue
   Oregon. She hosts an article written by [2]Zak Johnson of Portland,
   Oregon. Zak is one of the co-founders of the Gun Owners Caucus of the
   Democratic Party of Oregon. Johnson quotes Jason Brown (Democratic
   nominee for Oregon House District 23)

     "I'm a Quaker and would never personally own a gun," said Brown.
     "But it's [the right to bear arms] in the Constitution and there's
     a reason it's in there. It's what supports the right of the people
     to change their government."

   Johnson continues:

     Exactly. Supporting the 2nd Amendment is the key to supporting the
     rest of the Constitution. And supporting the Constitution--as it is
     written--is the key to supporting our national identity and the
     rule of law.

   At this point I started laughing at the Democratic Party. The article
   already told us that according to Al Gore's campaign spokesman, Doug
   Hattaway,

     Gore lost his home state of Tennessee--along with the rest of the
     South and the Intermountain West...because of the gun issue.

   Further Montana Democratic Chairman Bob Ream has said, that people
   think we want to take their guns away. (Answer Please: It was San
   Francisco that voted for the nation's toughest ban on handguns.)

   Why, the Democratic Party of Oregon (DPO) last year passed
   [3]Resolution 2005-008. It states in part:

     Section 1. To recognize and support the right to keep and bear arms
     in Article 1 Section 27 of the Oregon State Constitution and the
     Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of
     America as an individual right not granted by the government, but
     rather guaranteed by the government.

     Section 2. In recognition of the tremendous personal responsibility
     engendered by the right to keep and bear arms, the Democratic Party
     of Oregon further advocates severe penalties and their enforcement
     for criminal use or misuse of the right.

   Bottom line the DPO thinks because they passed Resolution 2005-008,
   you will identify the Democratic Party as the party that will protect
   your 2nd Amendment rights and the party that supports the
   Constitution--as it is written.

   Are you laughing as hard as I am?
