My Response to Senator Merkley's Campaign Manager

I certainly must admit that these people have unmitigated gall! After removing my letter from his Facebook page and then removing my comment regarding the same, I published both Senator Merkley's email and my reply for the Esteemed Readers of the Fix America blog to peruse. But instead of addressing me, the non-representing Senator and his staff not only ignored me, but had the audacity to send me a solicitation for campaign contributions for his re-election!

Following is that solicitation email and my response. I am sure you agree with my position and encourage you to share these posts and write to your own elected representatives and see where they stand on issues of rights and constitutional legislation.

"Fred, 

As Jeff Merkley's Campaign Manager, it’s my job to help re-elect one of the strongest progressive champions in the U.S. Senate. 

How will I do that?  By building an impressive grassroots campaign that takes Senator Merkley’s progressive message to every community, every neighborhood, and every doorstep in Oregon.  To do that we need you, and supporters just like you, to join our campaign.

Grassroots support matters, and it’s a way to help the causes you care about. We aren’t just working to win an election.  We’re working to raise the minimum wage, stop corporate polluters, hold Wall Street accountable, take on the giant biochemical industry, fight for marriage equality, and restore the American Dream for middle-class families.

So join us.  We’ve set our biggest monthly goal so far – an aggressive $48,000 target.  There are just seven full days left in February, so chip in $7 right now and let’s make it happen!

When we all stand up, everyone from the Koch Brothers to the Tea Party Republicans take notice.  And make no mistake: they’re coming.  They’re making a list and Jeff Merkley’s on it.  As Karl Rove has said, “Oregon might be next.” 

When the attacks come I want to make sure we’re ready.  $7 today makes you a part of this fight. 

Join us!

My reply:

Alex,

The first line says it all! "...one of the strongest progressive champions.." and that is the problem! We the People do not want strong progressives, we want strong statesman who will stand up to those who dare oppose the rights of the People and try to justify passing legislation that erode our rights.

As I posted on the Senator's Facebook page (which was removed along with my comments about that removal) and on my blog, I feel that all gun laws are unconstitutional, therefore we want our representatives to stand with us in fighting these blatant attempts to disarm the People, and not stand with those who want to take our arms and rights away.

I want you also to understand that I am not a member of a political party nor do I support them. As far as I am concerned, party candidates represent the party agenda and not the will of the People. Senator Merkley has on numerous occasions demonstrated his loyalty to his party and not his constituents by his voting record.

If you think the 'Tea Party' is coming to Oregon, I have a revelation for you:   We are already here! 

I wish you good luck in convincing other Oregonians to back more socialist/progressive party politicians. I certainly will not be in your corner.

My Reply to Senator Merkley

I received this letter as a reply to my concern that Senator Merkley was in favor of restrictions on arms/magazine capacities, and demanding that he vote against any such unconstitutional infringements now and in the future. Apparently the Senator does not represent We the People of Oregon, but an ideology that he feels is more justified than the will of those he was elected to represent.

"Dear Fred,

Thank you for contacting me to express your views on legislation to reduce gun violence. As Oregonians, we have experienced more than enough gun violence and this issue hits close to home for many of us. And yet many Oregonians cherish their guns and want to ensure that they continue to have the right to use them safely. I appreciate knowing the thoughts of Oregonians on all sides of this complex issue. 

As you probably know, the Senate recently debated the Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act (S.649), a bill that I have supported as a strong effort to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and reduce gun violence without impinging on the Second Amendment. The bill's main thrust is to close loopholes in the background check system, including the gun-show loophole. Oregon closed the gun-show loophole years ago, so this is consistent with choices we have made. I believe strongly that the most basic protection we can provide is to do a better job keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and people with serious mental illnesses who may pose a threat to themselves and others. The bill also includes provisions strengthening criminal penalties for people who conduct "straw purchases" on behalf of others in order to evade background checks.

During the debate of the bill, the Senate also considered amendments on a number of other provisions. I supported restrictions on large ammunition magazines, which are not needed for hunting or target shooting, but have been used in many mass shootings, and on military-style assault weapons. I also voted in favor of a bipartisan amendment to improve the mental health system and an amendment by Senator Barrasso (R-WY) to stop states from publicly disclosing personal information about people with gun permits.

I recognize that Oregonians come down in very different places on some of these policy choices. I come from rural Oregon and recognize the importance of hunting, target shooting, and gun collecting in many communities. I am committed to protecting the constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to own guns. As a parent and a policymaker, I also feel a strong responsibility to take meaningful action to reduce the gun deaths and injuries that plague our country and to keep kids safe.   We need to do what we can to prevent the horror of Newtown and Clackamas Town Center and so many other tragedies from happening again. I believe S. 649 meets both of those priorities.

Work on the bill was suspended after it became clear that it lacked the supermajority of 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. If the Senate returns to this topic, I will certainly keep your views in mind. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

All my best,

Jeffrey A. Merkley
United States Senator"

And this is my reply to Senator Merkley:

Dear Jeffrey,

It is interesting how you view the Second Amendment, with hunting, target shooting, and gun collecting as your basis for endorsing legislation that does absolutely nothing to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals, but does much to infringe upon the rights of the People.

Perhaps you need to read the Constitution Jeff. Does this look familiar? "The right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." It says nothing about 'law-abiding citizens'  nor mentions hunting, target shooting, or gun collecting. In fact, it does not make exceptions for 'assault weapons' or 'high capacity' magazines. So where do you get the idea that laws for registration or capacity limits protect the 'constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens'? Is that to the exclusion of constitutional rights for everyone else? In fact what it does say is that you Mr. Senator, have no damn authority to pass ANY laws that prohibit or restrict arms of any type for any reason whatsoever.

Personally, if I could afford to own and maintain heavy artillery, I would do so, and it is NOT the province of government to tell me what I can and cannot own. Do you recall a fracas back in 1776 regarding government getting a bit too intrusive in the lives of the People?

Justify your unconstitutional and treasonous position with somebody who sympathizes with that rhetoric, because liberty loving patriotic Americans certainly don't!

In liberty,

Hook, Line, and Sinker - Part 1

As an afterthought to False Flag Operations being carried out by the Federal Government, it is on-going and shows no signs of stopping or letting up. Following the staged;  Waco Event on February 28, 1993, Oklahoma City Bombing Event on April 19, 1995, and the World Trade Center Event on September 11, 2001, and the Sandy Hook School Massacre Event On December 14, 2012, and the Boston Marathon Bombing Event on April 15, 2013, we can only expect more of the same in order to instill fear, instability, and insecurity in the minds of the people of this country.

Like other False Flag Operations, the Sandy Hook School Massacre Event has yet to be resolved to any degree of certainty regarding exactly what happened. All the available information indicates some type of State and Federal Active Shooter Training Exercise. Hundreds of unanswered important questions have been followed by denied FOIA requests which all point to another False Flag Operation carried out by Federal and State Authorities. This FFO was used as an example of why guns should be made illegal and confiscated. 

What can be stated as fact is straight forward.

A Federal 'Active Shooter Training Event' occurred on the same day at the same time in the local area.

Over 1,200 Law Enforcement Officers responded to the Sandy Hook School Massacre event.

First Responders and Police officers violated State regulations, crime scene protocols and procedures, and dozens of state laws. 

It was reported that an Assault Rifle was the only weapon responsible for the deaths. Then two hand guns were supposedly retrieved from the crime scene, then it was reported that there were four hand guns.

No assault rife was found in the trunk of Mrs. Lanza's vehicle. What was found was an un-fired shotgun.

No blood was seen by anyone, anywhere.

No children were processed through any triage area.

No bodies or body bags were transported anywhere at any time. No bodies were seen.

Miss Emily Parker (one of the supposedly deceased Sandy Hook School students) does not appear in any Sandy Hook School class photograph.

Parents of the supposed victims of gun violence were denied positive identification of alleged dead children.

All burials were closed casket to all persons.

The day after the alleged killing of his daughter, Emily Parker, Mr. Robbie Parker gave a press interview which reveals very bad acting at best.

All Information regarding autopsies, death certificates is not available to anyone because it has been sealed under court order by state law.

Name changes and relocation of families were provided by federal funds (your tax dollars at work). They were also provided with shares of $17 million raised through internet donation sites.

Mr. Robbie Parker was setting up an internet donation site before and during the time of his daughter's alleged murder. He opened the account on the day before the Sandy Hook School Massacre Event.

Miss Emily Parker was photographed sitting on the lap of the person occupying the White House, after her supposed death and closed casket burial.

The Sandy Hook School has been razed and the rubble removed by an unnamed company to an unknown location.

Thousands of unanswered questions are all that remain.
