In 1986 I was a 21 year old University student. I was kidnapped from my home by 3 strangers. After being raped, sodomized and beaten, I was shot in the head and left for dead.

Though all 3 men were convicted and sentenced to 2 concurrent life terms, I must attend parole hearings for EACH man, every 3-5 years.

I have included links to both the latest parole protest petition and my blog which details my story. Thanks for your help. We will all be safer for your efforts. Peace

Gun Control

Dear Fellow Citizen,

On a recent news broadcast, Rep. Dan Ipsa (New Hampshire) mentioned in passing "the Holt bill that's been folded into the stimulus package."

The Holt bill is: H.R. 45: Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-45

This is full-fledged gun control!!!!!!

The spending bill is bad enough - this addition is DANGEROUS!!!!

PLEASE let everyone (congress, news outlets, friends, neighbors) know what the liberals are sneaking into this stimulus bill - this has nothing to do with jobs.

Paste this into your e-mail and forward this to everone you know - this needs to go viral before it gets passed.

John
