Chance to sign a petition requesting the White House to take action on HR 38. 100,000 signatures gets a response from the White House, which I suspect, based on what Trump has said all along, and including a couple of days ago on the issue: "Hells, yes!" Started two days ago: "Needs 95,142 signatures by August 17, 2017 to get a response from the White House".

WE THE PEOPLE ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CALL ON CONGRESS TO ACT ON AN ISSUE:

National Reciprocity for the Nation's 17 Million Concealed Handgun Permit Holders!

As of today (Tuesday morning August 8, 2017) National Reciprocity White House petition (above):

Needs 80,844 signatures by August 17, 2017 to get a response from the White House

It's been up for three weeks, with just over a week to go, and only 19,156 have signed it out of the whole country! Either nobody cares or this is the best kept secret White House petition ever. I wonder why the NRA wouldn't promote this, not even in a separate email or mailing, but alongside whatever they were messaging anyway? Not that it matters, as we all know Trump's position on it, but it would just be another element of publicity and awareness, though I suspect anyone interested in the legal aspects of carry is well aware of the Hudson bill by now...

People need a kick in the pants... maybe this needs to get put up on some of the busier youtube channels like MAC and IV8888. I'm going to send them a message tonight when I get home and see if they can give this some airtime on their channels. Couldn't hurt.

I remember another petition earlier this year, I think it was the mag ban in CA.  But it needed 100K and only got the last 30K in 3 days prior to.

I messaged a few people on IG to get behind this. Knockoutlights, gatman, truxodus, etc...I should send the link to Schatz to sign. =P

I've found that it's very difficult to get people to sign the online petitions even though it's so easy to do.  For a good response rate you have to put in a lot of man hours to talk to people directly or shove it in their face for them to do it.  Otherwise expect a  less than 5% response rate, so you'll need to advertise it out to millions of people to get 100,000.

Update today from GOA re Hudson's HR38. Auto-letter email to submit to your U.S. Rep (mine is Gabbard... and I know she'll never sign on... but what else can I do?).

What happens in the next month will set the tone for the remainder of this Congress.

Let's start with Congressman Richard Hudson's groundbreaking reciprocity bill, H.R. 38. The bill now has 209 cosponsors -- and we have a promise from the Judiciary Committee Chairman to move the bill soon.

Congress is back so GOA is continuing its push to help concealed carry reciprocity move quickly.

Please urge your Representative, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D) [your Rep. will be entered depending on your address], to demand that House Speaker Paul Ryan immediately move Constitutional Carry reciprocity (H.R. 38).

Unfuckingbelievable. Well, I mean totally believable that this is Ryan's position and "strategy" on national reciprocity ("No voting on national reciprocity until the Democrats regain control of both chambers and the presidency"?), but unbelievable that people keep voting these (barely qualifies as a RINO even) people in thinking they are going to do something for "us". Ryan's Republican Primary opponent in 2016 had this to say:

"During an interview with Business Insider last week, Nehlen called Ryan a "soulless globalist," yet expressed skepticism that Trump's praise would lead to his victory. Nehlen also characterized Ryan as "the most open-borders, anti-worker, pro-Wall Street member of Congress on either side."

"Paul Ryan is a soulless globalist, and he would send our jobs overseas in a heartbeat if it meant more money in his campaign coffers," he said.

I guess that's what Ryan's district wanted, as Ryan won the primary 85% to 15%...

GOP Rep: House Majority Leader Republican Paul Ryan Will Not Let Congress Touch Concealed Carry Reciprocity

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/09/08/paul-ryan-will-not-let-congress-touch-concealed-reciprocity/

During the September 7 of Armed American Radio with Mark Walters, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said his concealed carry legislation is stalled because Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) does not want Congress to touch it.

Mark Walters asked Massie about the lack of movement on national reciprocity, and Massie said, “The Speaker told me he didn’t think the timing was right.” An exasperated Massie then added, “But this is the exact time to bring this bill. So it is frustrating for me.”

National reciprocity legislation—H.R. 38—would treat concealed carry permits like driver’s licenses, making a permit from one state valid in the other 49. Massie is the sponsor of H.R. 2909, which covers a blind spot in the national reciprocity legislation by mandating that Washington DC recognize concealed carry permits from all 50 states.

Massie continued, “Listen, I was no fan of [Speaker] John Boehner, but even under John Boehner, I was allowed to offer an amendment to the DC Appropriations Bill to defund all their gun control laws. It passed in the House. … We got all but four Republicans to vote for it and 20 Democrats voted to defund all of Washington DC’s gun control laws.”

This is the perfect time for it.  We got the votes and the president to get it passed, and Trump is in desperate need to get a major bill passed for his supporters.

Our political system allows one person to have too much power.
