Found this on an Archery forum I'm on so figured I'd share it since we were discussing the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty here.

I just sent e-mails to my two Senators thanking one for signing the letter to the President and Secretary of State in opposition to the treaty, and asking the other one WHY she didn't sign the letter.

yeah I will be emailing the one back that signed and there is no hope for the other one. If the one in your state that didn't sign is like the one in my state that didn't sign she will give you this explanation about how she believes that weapons should be regulated and that this treaty had nothing to do with U.S. civilian weapons. Makes me wanna throw up. But good news is that it didn't pass!!

Good deal. The UN needs to keep out of our business.

We're doing fine without them.

Is there a web site that shows the signatures?

Its good to see that some of the Senators had the intestinal fortitude to sign the letter opposing the UN Arms Trade Treaty. I emailed the senators from TN and thanked the for opposing the treaty and for defending the people's rights.

Here you go Wabi. http://www.nraila.org/media/pdfs/unatttestersigned.pdf

If you go to the link below and "Choose A State", you will get a link for sending a quick and easy e-mail to each of your Senators.
