    where is a paintball arena in madison wisconsin?
    Question:
    i just started paintballing and i dont really want to drive all the way to poynette and i was wondering if there is a paintball arena in madison wisconsin

    Answer:

    Why four thousand fewer people show up to see Obama in the same arena as did for Sarah Palin in Wisconsin?
    Question:
    “You all know that you hold this election in your hands,” Sen. Russ Feingold, a Democrat who said he worked on ethics legislation with Obama, told a crowd of about 6,000 cheering Obama fans in the arena next to Lambeau Field. “We just barely won this state for Al Gore in 2000 and we just barely won this state for John Kerry in 2004.” The numbers in Wisconsin and Minnesota are getting close enough that the Obama campaign closed its 11 campaign offices in North Dakota and moved the 50 staffers there to these two states. Just a week ago, John McCain and his vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin — who can bring out crowds the way Obama can — appeared in this same stadium, Resch Center, to a crowd of 10,000 fans. There were an uncharacteristic amount of empty orange seats for Obama’s rally. http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/1178184,obama rally092208.article

    Answer:
    Obama is over saturated. People are getting tired of hearing about him and only him about how great he is and how he's the only solution. All this over hype may lose him this election.

    where can i find some cheap saddles? I dont want websites either? i need some good places in wisconsin!?
    Question:
    I am starting a riding arena, i need saddles of all sizes im a younger person but my passion is horses! I dont have alot of money to spend, but i still need to have them! Also i am looking for some cheap horses for sale! Nebody that has some info on ne of the questions i asked it would greatly be appreciated! I definatly need to find a draft saddle!

    Answer:
    draft saddle- get a cordura synthetic if you want a western one- they are cheap (150ish) and can bend to fit almost any horse. They fit our 2 yr old paint and our fat 17.2 hand shire with no problem. As for english draft- the only thing that my mare does not wreck are the thoroughgood/griffith dressage saddles (extra wide). She broke the tree on a wintec, and a generic brand. I just bought a brand new griffith one 3 yrs ago for $600. If you are going for english- fleet farm has cheap saddles, otherwise Libertyville saddleshop in IL (right across the border). They do have a website as well, but they do not have their used or clearance saddles listed. Any local tack shop in Wisconsin is going to have expensive saddles, I can not think of one that carries used saddles (I live in Stevens Point and Appleton). If you are close to Stevens Point, Heartland stables has some used saddles for sale right now sitting outside the cafeteria which are not too badly priced and in good condition. I am sure a lot of large riding arenas may have old saddles they would be willing to sell. Just put up a notice at their barn. Another idea is get a copy of the wisconsin's horseman's news- they have saddles listed all the time. You can also go to horse fairs and 4-H tack swaps. The biggest ones are in Madison during the Midwest horse fair, but I think central WI has a swap coming up sometime soon- it will be listed in the horseman's news. good luck in your search.

    looking for a Intermediate to Beginner horse in Wisconsin!?
    Question:
    I want to buy a horse between the ages of 6 and 18. I prefer a gelding and the horse needs to be calm yet energetic in the arena. If you live near eagle river please contact me if you have a horse for sale. Ill be using the horse for western riding and 4h. Email: quarterhorselover93@yahoo.com Thanks!!

    Answer:
    http://www.centaur.org/horse/barna.html This is the midwest stable directory but if you read the listings they will say if they also do sales. It's a lot to go through but it is a huge list of barns in the midwest!

    How would I find a private investor to lend money to fix and flip properties?
    Question:
    I have bought and sold 8 properties in the last 18 months here in Wisconsin. I have some money to roll over, but I am looking for more in the arena of a private investor willing to go in on some potentially larger deals. I have a team in place and need quick cash to fund projects. Exit strategies are ready and in place. Either the property is flipped or refinanced and held. Does anyone know of an organization that may be able to help or any way I can find an investor or investors on my own? Thanks

    Answer:
    Sounds like you know what you're doing for sure. Approach potential investors on your own. You have a good track record. The key to your pitch is to show the investor what's in it for him/her. Present the projects in a profit sharing perspective. Also tell them why you don't want to use a bank(s). Steal the Home Depot motto: You can do it. They can help.

    Is anyone really familiar with the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin?
    Question:
    I'm wondering what their security measures are for concerts or in general? I am attending a concert and YES, the ticket says no cameras. However, I will be visiting from out of town and taking a cab to the area (and taking pictures) and I won't have a place to store my camera before the concert. I spoke with the security department there who told me they only visually search purses. I just want to be sure that my camera will be safe in my pocket. Anyone know if this arena will have metal detectors/wands or pat downs? ...OR if they possibly have lockers?

    Answer:
    hi there..information for you.. Still cameras are permitted in the Center for Milwaukee Bucks, Milwaukee Admirals and Marquette Golden Eagles games. In no instance may photography interfere with access ways, seat aisles, or other guests' enjoyment of the event. These policies will vary by league rules and events.

    I NEED to MEET my FAVORITE singer!
    Question:
    Your Open QuestionShow me another » I NEED to MEET my FAVORITE singer!! LOOK EVERYONE, I AM SO MUCH IN LOVE WITH R&B SINGER JOE! I have been waiting 11 years to meet him but there haven't been any success. I missed his live performance by seconds 03/30/2007 while here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Soon as I entered the arena I asked a lady, "DID JOE COME OUT YET?" She said, "YEAHP, HE JUST LEFT!" I'm like WHAT?! Are you serious? I cried right there. I walked into the jam-packed concert seeing another entertainer and I just felt total emptiness. I've been waiting so long to see him. I WAS SO HURT I CRIED ALL NIGHT! It was so hard to know that he was just in the same room where I was standing but there was no sign of him. I've never been to a concert before but he's the only entertainer that I'm interested in/ care about. Joe is my heart ya'll! I love him!! All I have are photos of him and videos. He's even on my Myspace page. I just don't understand WHY the hell can't I meet him. How can I meet him? I even called his manager at least 40 times and have spoken with the manager and not only that I've also sent several letters to his manager's office... but no success. Any advice? P.S. I think I need counseling because this is ridiculous. Now I also wanna say that I am horrified of flying but I am 'purposely' putting my fears aside to get in the air to meet him. Any other reason to fly... UH HELL NO!! WON'T B HAPPENIN. I'm saying that bc when I was 4 years old I fell 14 feet from our home porch and was seriously injured. Therefore, I will alllow my unconditional love for him OVER-RIDE my FEAR of flying. I've also tried contacting a few talk shows. I need help please. I'LL BE 30 on September 4th--- ALL I WANT IS TO MEET HIM!

    Answer:
    You NEED to eat, you NEED to breath, you NEED to sleep. Everything else is not a need it is a want. Your infatuation needs to be evaluated by a professional.

    Monday night is going to be the worst RAW EVER!?
    Question:
    Here is the spoilers. I think its f*cking stupid what do you guys make of it? http://nodq.com/wwe/190793998.shtml NoDQ.com > WWE > WWE RAW Taping Results - Spoilers Posted by Steve Carrier on 09/02/2007 at 10:41 PM Source: Amanda Sharp and Steve Gerweck: - It's not a sell out, but a large crowd tonight. - Lilian Garcia came out. Heat: - Val Venis defeated Jay Bradley. - Super Crazy defeated Shawn Spears. - Hacksaw Jim Duggan defeated Chad ? - Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch defeated The Highlanders. RAW: - Raw begins with a video segment of Randy Orton attacking John Cena's father Johnny Fabulous. The crowd is perfect, cheer when they should and boo when they should. - Jeff Hardy defeated Umaga to capture the IC title. - They are showing Triple and Carlito as upcoming tonight, not sure if its a match or the Cabana. They are also advertising "the McMahon family confrontation." - Segment with Vince and Carlito. Vince suggests a handicap match because Umaga is mad about his loss. So it'll be Umaga and Carlito vs. Triple H. - Another segment with Melina talking to William Regal about things she has done with Vince in private meetings. She whispers in Regal's ear and Regal claims its "filthy." - Stephanie McMahon shows up, and then Linda shows with Linda slapping Melina in the face. Melina rubs her face, turns around and sees Ron Simmons who says "damn." - Santino Marella comes out to vent his frustrations about Simmons and the "dump of a City Columbus," and Sandman interrupts. Sandman chases him out of the ring. - Beth Phoenix defeated Maria in about a minute. Beth says she is cashing in her opportunity against Candice Michelle at Unforgiven, and Candice comes running to save Maria. - William Regal comes out to announce he gave Randy Orton the night off because of his actions last week. They are showing Randy via "satellite." Regal announces Orton vs. Cena at Unforgiven for the WWE championship. Cena comes out and kisses his dog tags and attacks Regal. They send out three referees out to try to get Cena off .. Cena walks up the ramp and leaves Regal in a heap on the floor. - Brian Kendrick and Paul London defeated the World's Greatest Tag Team - Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. - They show Regal in an ambulance getting treated and Shane McMahon walks by towards the arena. - They aired a video about CM Punk and his desire to be champion. In the segment he says something like "I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, my high is wrestling." - Vince and Coach have financial advisors and they are talking about Vince's money and how the family can't touch him. He then asks Coach how Regal is doing. Coach says "pretty beat up" and Vince replies with "well Coach, I guess its time for you to step up again." - Cody Rhodes and Mickie James defeated Jillian Hall and Daiviri. - Melina did the kiss cam. - During the Triple H vs. Carlito and Umaga match, the ref rang the bell about 1 minute into the match because they were double teaming Triple H in the corner, I'm guess for a DQ. Carlito brings a steel chair in, Triple H grabs it and starts to beat Umaga. He decided it wasn't doing the job so he climbed out of the ring to grab the sledgehammer busting Umaga wide open and continues his attack. Carlito retreats leaving Umaga in a pool of his own blood with Triple H standing over Umaga holding the sledgehammer. Huge pop for Triple H. - Off air, they carry Umaga out on a stretcher and change the pad on the mat from all of the blood. - Vince comes out and says everything is about the money and out walks Linda. She tells Vince she's the CEO of WWE and has plenty of money, she doesn't need his. But just so he knows based on his cheating and his parade of women. Vince tries to defend himself saying he's loney on the road and Stephanie comes out. She COULD take him to court for everything he's got. Vince tells Stephanie they have had good times together as she grew up and he put a video together of "Daddy's girl." Which is a montage of clips from past times like Vince choking Steph, kicking her, etc. He screams its the wrong video and turns it off. Coach says someone sabotated the video and then cut to Triple H in the back drinking water. Hunter says "Vince, I had nothing to do with that! Hi Steph." Steph says she does love Vince and he obviously doesn't get it and asks him to step down as chairman of the board. Shane's music hits. Vince asks Shane if he agrees and Shane asks which Vince McMahon he's talk to. The fearless leader who he's proud to call his father or the grapefruit swining maniacal conceited (etc.) embarrassment. Vince tells Shane to stop calling his wife names. Boring chants then turn into "asshole" chants. Fans seem really bored .. its hard to hear the mics aren't very loud. Vince says he confesses that he has only cheated on Linda once in his whole life and that was with the woman who gave birth to his bastard child. Kennedy apologizes for interrupting saying everything happens for a reason. There was a reason he came face to face with him the night he found he had a son. Vince is on his knees vowing to be a better father and human. Vince is on his knees when Mr. Kennedy comes out. That his last name is the same as his middle name .. that he demands the bastard child be revealed next week in Green Bay, Wisconsin. And Kennedy says "ya see dad .. i'm your son." Stephanie butts in and says "you might be a bastard, but you aren't my dad's bastard." And tells him to prove it. Kennedy tells Vince he inspired him to become the greatest WWE superstar. Vince stands there with a grin as Mr. Kennedy's says "Mrrr.. Kennedy .. Mr. McMahon." A guy interrupts and says he represents the woman who gave birth to his son, its a male on the roster but the DNA test shows its not Mr. Kennedy. But it won't be revealed until next week. The guy messes up his lines dropes his paper and says the only clue he can give out is "things are looking up." They stumble through that portion because the lawyer totally messed up. Vince sends everyone away except Kennedy and tells him to stop pretending and Vince says we are gonna have a match .. bring out a referee. Kennedy vs. Cena, a man full of rage for all the right reasons, and calls Cena a lunatic. Cena gets in the ring, runs his mouth and beats Kennedy down. The ref rings the bell and the match is on. Cena continues attacking and ripped Kennedy's shirt off and shreds it. Cena wins the FU. - Raw goes off the air. Cena takes time in the ring and leaves shaking hands with fans. - No dark match, Lilian told everyone goodnight. Brooksie: They are only taping this episode b/c they are going over seas.

    Answer:
    It's not going to be that good, but a lot of the show had to be filled up with them having storylines in order to cover up for their suspensions. Nice twist with Kennedy not being the child anymore, although I wonder who it is now. To the guy above, RAW usually live, but it was taped this week because of Labor Day and the fact that WWE is going on an African tour this week.

    Question:
    NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert Vol. 13, No. 14 04/07/06 States with updates this issue: Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, and Texas. RIGHT-TO-CARRY NOW LAW IN NEBRASKA! On April 5, Governor Dave Heineman (R) signed Legislative Bill 454 into law, making Right-to-Carry the law of the land in Nebraska! "It took over a decade to bring Right-to-Carry to the good citizens of Nebraska, but those years of hard work have paid off tremendously," declared NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox. "I want to thank Governor Dave Heineman, and Senator Jeanne Combs (R-32), for their support and their efforts in giving Nebraskans the right to protect themselves and their loved ones. Senator Combs' dedication and persistence was vital in ensuring passage of this measure through the state legislature." LB 454 passed with bi-partisan support, as Nebraska senators voted 33-12 in favor of the measure. The bill allows law-abiding Nebraskans who undergo a background check and apply for a permit to carry a concealed firearm for self-protection. Two weeks ago, legislators in neighboring Kansas overrode Governor Sebelius' (D) veto to bring Right-to-Carry to that state as well. Now, of all the 50 states, only Wisconsin and Illinois flatly refuse to recognize the right of law-abiding citizens to carry concealed firearms for self-protection against criminal attack. "Once again, on behalf of our NRA members in Nebraska, I want to thank all the legislators who voted to bring Right-to-Carry to their state," concluded Cox. "And as always, we appreciate the commitment and participation of our members in Nebraska for their part in making it happen." To view this legislation use the "Bills" feature at the following link http://alisdb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/ACASLogin.asp GOV ERNOR RILEY SIGNS ALABAMA "CASTLE DOCTRINE" INTO LAW! On April 4, Alabama Governor Bob Riley (R) signed NRA-backed "Castle Doctrine" bill SB 283 into law. Senator Larry Means (D-10), and Representative Albert Hall (D-22), sponsored the self-defense bill. With overwhelming support, SB 283 passed the Alabama House by a vote of 82 to 9, and the Alabama State Senate by a vote of 30 to 2. ILA's Chris W. Cox, stated, "We thank Governor Riley for signing this vital legislation into law for the people of Alabama. Law-abiding citizens now have the choice to defend themselves and their families in the face of attack without fear of criminal prosecution and civil litigation." The "Castle Doctrine" bill removes the "duty to retreat" if an individual is attacked in his or her home, vehicle, place of business, or any other place he or she has a legal right to be. This legislation also states that victims may use necessary force to defend themselves against the attacker. "I would like to thank the bill's sponsors, Senator Means and Representative Hall, and the Alabama State Senators and State Representatives who supported this bill. As always, we also thank all the NRA members and lawful gun owners who contacted their representatives and urged them to support this vital self-defense measure," concluded Cox. SUPPORT HR 5092-- "THE BATFE MODERNIZATION AND REFORM ACT OF 2006" On April 5, the leaders of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security--Representatives Howard Coble (R-N.C.), and Bobby Scott (D-Va.)--joined forces to introduce H.R. 5092, the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) Modernization and Reform Act of 2006." This bipartisan bill is a critical first step toward finally reforming BATFE. First and foremost, H.R. 5092 totally revises the system of administrative penalties for licensed dealers, manufacturers and importers of firearms. Today, for most violations, BATFE can only give an FFL holder a warning, or totally revoke the license. This bill would allow fines or license suspensions for less serious violations, while allowing license revocation for the kind of serious violations that would block an investigation or put guns in the hands of criminals. H.R. 5092 also clarifies the standard for violations-allowing penalties for intentional, purposeful violations of the law, but not for simple paperwork mistakes. Congress thought it had fixed this problem in 1986 when it passed the Firearms Owners' Protection Act, but the government has ignored that law-and has even argued in court that the 1986 changes were "without practical significance." The bill also improves the process by which BATFE imposes these penalties, notably by allowing FFLs to appeal BATFE penalties to a neutral administrative law judge, rather than to an employee of BATFE itself. H.R. 5092 would change BATFE's enforcement operations in several ways, from requiring the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice to review of BATFE gun show enforcement operations, to demanding that the Bureau establish clear investigative guidelines. Finally, the bill would focus BATFE's efforts on violations of firearms, explosives, arson, alcohol and tobacco laws, rather than non-jurisdictional areas. Please be sure to contact your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121, and urge him or her to cosponsor and support H.R. 5092, the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Modernization and Reform Act of 2006!" SENATOR VITTER INTRODUCES S. 2599--THE SENATE VERSION OF THE "DISASTER RECOVERY PERSONAL PROTECTION ACT OF 2006" On April 7, U.S. Senator David Vitter (R-La.) introduced S. 2599--the Senate companion bill to H.R. 5013, the "Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006" introduced on March 28, by U.S. Congressman Bobby Jindal (R-La.). This NRA-supported bill would amend federal emergency statute laws to prohibit local authorities from confiscating lawfully owned firearms during times of disaster. Thirty three states have "emergency powers" laws that give the government permission to suspend or limit gun sales, and to prohibit or restrict citizens from transporting or carrying firearms--something NRA-ILA is working to change. In some states, authorities can seize guns outright from citizens who have committed no crime--and who would then be defenseless against disorder. Please be sure to contact your U.S. Senators and your U.S. Representative, and urge them to cosponsor and support S. 2599, and H.R. 5013, respectively, the "Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006!" You can reach your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and your Representative at (202) 225-3121. SUPPORT H.R. 5005, THE "FIREARMS CORRECTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS ACT" Representative Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) recently introduced H.R. 5005, the "Firearms Corrections and Improvements Act," which would make a variety of technical changes to federal firearm laws. The bill would roll back unnecessary restrictions, correct errors, and codify longstanding congressional policies in the arena of firearms laws. Among its provisions, H.R. 5005 would: permanently ban taxes or "user fees" on background checks by the federal instant check system--fees that Congress has prohibited in annual appropriations riders since 1998; permanently ban creation of a centralized electronic index of dealers' records--a threat to gun owners' privacy that Congress has barred through appropriations riders for a decade; codify limits on disclosure of trace records--which Congress has already limited through a series of appropriations riders over the past few years, out of concern for gun owners' privacy and the confidentiality of law enforcement records; and repeal of obsolete language from the Brady Act's "interim" waiting period provisions, that expired in 1998. Please be sure to contact your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121, and urge him or her to cosponsor and support H.R. 5005, the "Firearms Corrections and Improvements Act!"

A LOOK AT THE STATES (***For all of the action items below, you can find contact information for your legislators by using the "Write Your Representatives" tool at www.NRAILA.org. As always, thank you for your support.***) States with updates this issue: Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, and Texas. ARIZONA The Arizona Department of Game and Fish is hosting an area meeting to discuss locations for a new shooting range in Northern Arizona. Your presence is needed to help show support this new local shooting range. This meeting will be held Saturday, April 15, from 10:00 a.m., to 2:00 p.m., at the Northern Arizona University du Bois Center located at 306 E. Pine Knoll Drive, Flagstaff, 86011. Please mark you calendar for this date! For more information please contact: Mark Meyer at (480) 967-1343 or via e-mail at mmeyer@lsdaz.com. More meetings will be scheduled in the future, so please keep checking the NRA-ILA website for updates. After working closely with NRA leadership in Arizona, State Representative Pamela Gorman (R-6) has withdrawn her amendment, regarding state operated shooting ranges, from SB 1291. We here at NRA realize we have a strong ally in Representative Gorman, who will work to protect Arizona ranges and your Second Amendment rights. Please take a moment to send Representative Gorman a note thanking her for working with the NRA to resolve this issue and encourage her to continue to work with us to protect Arizona's gun owners and sportsmen. State Representative Gorman's e-mail address is pgorman@azleg.gov. CONNECTICUT As we have been reporting, the anti-gun crowd has redoubled their efforts to pass last year's proposal to make it a crime to fail to report the loss or theft of a firearm within 72 hours from when you "knew or should have known" of the theft. This year's version is outrageous! H.B. 5818, now includes language that would subject gun owners to criminal investigation and jeopardy of prosecution even if they report the theft because a court will now be given the ability to decide whether the firearm was stored in such a manner that provided "substantial and unjustifiable risk" that it would be stolen. Even worse, if the police recover the firearm before the gun owner has discovered it missing and made the report, it will be considered automatic evidence of guilt of violation of this proposed law, as well as guilt of an illegal transfer. Conviction of the "illegal transfer," which is a felony, would permanently end your right to own a firearm! In response to the large number of phone calls that are coming in from legitimate gun owners, Connecticut Against Gun Violence has put out desperate pleas to the anti-gun crowd asking them to write, e-mail and call lawmakers in an effort to drown out your voice! If you have not contacted your legislators yet, we urge you to do so today! The Public Safety and Security Committee could consider HB 5818 as early as next week. The Public Safety and Security Committee can be reached at (860) 240-0570. For more information on the Public Safety and Security Committee please visit www.cga.ct.gov/ps/. DELAWARE The Delaware House of Representatives may be voting as early as Tuesday on H.B. 359, sponsored by Representative Deborah Hudson (R-12), the NRA-backed "shall-issue" Right-to-Carry bill. This bill would allow law-abiding citizens that fulfilled the requirements for a concealed weapons permit to be granted a permit without discrimination. Your State Representative needs to hear from you! Please take the time to call or e-mail your State Representative TODAY and respectfully urge him or her to support HB 359 when it comes before them for consideration. The future of Right-to-Carry in Delaware depends on it! IDAHO Thanks to the efforts of NRA members across the State of Idaho who sent thousands of e-mails and made countless phone calls to State lawmakers, four important bills have become law in the state and a fifth is on the way. Senator Gerry Sweet (R-20) and Representative Bill Sali (R-21) co-sponsored three NRA-supported bills: House Bill 686 will protect non-profit shooting ranges and gun clubs from having taxes imposed on their range fees and membership dues; Senate Bill 1401, "Emergency Powers" legislation, will prevent government officials from imposing restrictions on the lawful possession, transfer, sale, transport, storage, display or use of firearms and ammunition during a disaster emergency; and Senate Bill 1428, "Right-to-Carry" reform legislation, that extends the concealed weapon license from four to five years and, like driver's licenses, requires renewal notices be sent out prior to license expiration. This bill also provides an exemption from the concealed weapon license requirement for a person who possesses a concealed weapon while on property he or she owns or leases. Senator Skip Brandt (R-8) proposed House Bill 608, legislation that creates an NRA motor vehicle license plate. This bill has also become law, so look to sign up for a special NRA license plate in the near future. The fifth bill, Senate Bill 1441, is "Castle Doctrine" legislation that would provide immunity from civil action for anyone who has used lawful force in self-defense. Under SB 1441, if a criminal attacks a victim and the victim successfully defends him or herself and, in the process, injures or kills the criminal, then neither the criminal nor the criminal's family can obtain a judgment against the victim for damages. This bill, carried by Senators Mel Richardson (R-32) and Joyce Broadsword (R-2), has passed both the Senate and House and is headed to the Governor's desk. ILLINOIS Thanks to the efforts of those who contacted their State Representative, H.B. 4853 passed the House with an NRA-supported amendment that excludes ammunition. The House concurred on this legislation with the Senate offered and NRA-supported amendment overwhelmingly by voting 115 to 1. Without this important amendment, H.B. 4853 as originally passed by the House could have been used to target ammunition manufacturers, distributors, users, and owners of property where firearms are lawfully discharged. This legislation will now head to the Governor's desk. LOUISIANA On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary C Committee reported out S.B. 93, by Senator Joe McPherson (D-29), NRA-backed legislation amending the state's emergency powers act to prohibit the seizure and confiscation of legally possessed firearms in the unfortunate event of another natural disaster in the State of Louisiana. The full Senate could vote the bill on as early as Monday afternoon. Please e-mail and call your State Senators on Monday morning and urge them to support SB 93. Although an official agenda had not been posted as when this Alert went to print, it is expected the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee may hold hearings on the House versions of measures to end New Orleans-style gun confiscations during a state of emergency: H.B. 36 by Representative Pete Schneider (R-90), H.B. 136 by Representative Troy Hebert (D-49), H.B. 172 by Representative Danny Martiny (R-79), and HB 760 by Representative Steve Scalise (R-82). Please email and call the members of the committee and urge them to support these measures. The committee normally meets on Wednesday and Thursday mornings in Room 6 of the State Capitol. To contact your state lawmakers, check the committee's schedule, and agenda, or for a list of committee members, please call the PULS line at (225) 342-2456 (from the Baton Rouge area) or (800) 256-3793 (outside the Baton Rouge area) or visit http://senate.legis.state.la.us/Senators, http://house.louisiana.gov, and http://www.legis.state.la.us MAINE Representative Josh Tardy (R-Newport) is offering an important amendment that adds two important provisions to L.D.1938, "An Act To Protect Victims of Domestic Violence." The "Tardy Amendment" would do the following: (1) Allow the court to order a person seeking a "protection from abuse" order--who is proven to be in "bad faith"--to pay damages and reasonable attorney's fees to the defendant and; (2) Makes law enforcement officials responsible for damage to firearms resulting from a lack of reasonable care, which are seized, surrendered or relinquished. Presently, the possibility of "bad faith" orders within the court system create a "shadow of doubt"--hurting the true victims of domestic violence. This measure would help eliminate "bad faith" orders from occurring, thus furthering validity for all legitimate "protection from abuse" proceedings. Furthermore, relinquished firearms are often damaged and sometimes never returned to the owner after a "protection from abuse" order is terminated. This amendment would correct that problem. Similar language recently passed the Pennsylvania Legislature and was supported by all stakeholders, including gun owners as well as domestic violence organizations. This measure passed overwhelmingly with bipartisan support. Please call your State Legislator today and respectfully ask him or her to support the "Tardy Amendment!" Your State Legislator can be contacted in Augusta at (800) 423-2900. MICHIGAN Governor Jennifer Granholm (D) signed two pro-gun bills, both sponsored by Representative Rick Jones (R-71). H.B. 4643 addresses a problem with concealed pistol licenses (CPL) being renewed in a timely fashion. Apparently, the Detroit area was taking 9 to 10 months to renew concealed pistol licenses! HB 4643 corrects the renewal process by requiring a proper renewal to be completed within 60 days or the license is extended for 180 days or until the permit is renewed. H.B. 4642 allows a licensed spouse to carry or transport another licensed spouse's inspected pistol. A thank you goes out to Governor Granholm for signing these two important Right-to-Carry reform bills into law. NEW YORK On April 9, members of the Assembly Health Committee are set to consider A. 6608A, sponsored by Assemblywoman Ginny Fields (D-5), an NRA-supported bill that would protect existing shooting ranges from new noise ordinances and nuisance lawsuits aimed at shutting them down. A. 6608A provides that facilities must comply with noise ordinances in place at the time of construction of the range. The Senate companion bill to A 6608A, S. 3353A, is sponsored by Senator Dale Volker (R-59) and could be voted on by the full Senate at any time. Please contact your lawmakers today and urge them to support A. 6606A and S. 3353A. The general phone number to the Senate is (518) 455-2800. The general phone number for the Assembly is (518) 455-4100. SOUTH CAROLINA Thanks to phone calls from NRA members H. 4681, introduced by Representative Mike Pitts (R-14), unanimously passed the House Judiciary Committee's Constitutional Laws Subcommittee with an added amendment that further strengthens the bill. H 4681 will now come before the full Judiciary Committee. This legislation would remove the ability of local governments to restrict the use, sale, or transportation of firearms during a state of emergency, and would also prohibit South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) from releasing the personal information of Right-to-Carry (RTC) permit holders unless the request for the information is part of an investigation by law enforcement. Please contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee and urge them to support H 4681. A list of the members of the Judiciary Committee can be found by going to www.scstatehouse.net/html-pages/housecommlst.html#jud TEXAS P rimary runoff elections will be held on Tuesday, April 11. Please check www.nrapvf.org to see whether a runoff election is being held in your area and to see how the candidates measure up on issues of importance to gun owners and sportsmen. Spread the word to your family, friends, and co-workers about the primary runoff elections, because every vote counts!

    Is this a sure sign of Hillary being passe?
    Question:
    Clinton was seven minutes into her speech Tuesday night, shortly after being projected to lose the Wisconsin primary, when Obama bounded onto a stage and all the cable news networks -- after a brief split-screen moment -- cut away from her to him. "Take it now!" Fox News anchor Brit Hume was heard saying. The freshman senator proceeded to speechify in a Houston arena for 46 minutes, hijacking the television spotlight and -- in a move he seems to have perfected -- upstaging his Democratic rival. As Obama went into overtime -- while the rest of Sen. Clinton's speech in Youngstown, Ohio, went unheard by the country -- her aides were stewing over what they see as media favoritism toward the Illinois senator. And political analysts marveled at Obama's ease in capturing a sizable chunk of prime time on one Tuesday night after another. Could it also be smart television? Could Obama, an accomplished orator who has generated plenty of excitement while wresting the front-runner's mantle from a former first lady, be good for ratings? After all, cable outlets routinely dump out of long speeches by politicians so their pundits can pontificate. "I don't think it was much of a decision," said Phil Griffin, the NBC News senior vice president who runs MSNBC. "Obama won. You of course go to the winner. I'm sure the Clintons are disappointed, and we would have preferred to stay on her throughout her speech. But he's the story." Asked if Obama's speechmaking skills made it easier to stick with him for three-quarters of an hour, Griffin said: "Doesn't hurt."

    Answer:
    Hillary I guess is becoming passe on CNN there debate panel said she keeps repeating that same tired line about her having more experience and she can handle THE REPUBLICAN'S. She needs a fresh approach.

    Answer:
    Because more qualified candidates applied. Because a University of Phoenix degree isn't very valuable to the academic world. A university of Purdue's caliber would want to hire someone with adequate education. Because he included an honorary doctorate as though it's relevant to anything. (Hint: An honorary doctorate does not imply anything about a person's abilities.)
