    We vote them out. I'm a conservative...not republican nor democrat. I have just moved to Washington State. I'm 68, on Medicare (which scares me), I carry a gun because originally I'm from Texas (we carry). I have taken on 3 issues, Second Amendment, Health care, and replacing our Representatives and Senators and President who are not supporting our constitution

    House Bill titled 'HR 45, Blair Holt Licensing and Record Act of 2009'. Not another stabb at the law abiding citizen! Please, be kindly reminded of the Amendment II: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Please be a staunch rejector to this bill and knock this one into space. I vote and watch this very carefully. We need to be going after the criminals and use the laws that are already in effect. Thankyou and remember: If we like our freedom, thank a Vet!

    Anonymous comments are useless. If you are going to make a statement in a public forum, don't be a pathetic wimp, take credit for it.

    I read these comments and I think to myself, we were surprised that Homeland Security released a document titled "Right-Wing Extremists"? You guys are all nuts!

    Dive n diva, I'm wondering if you voiced your concern over the Constitution when Bush was in office? He and Cheney were the biggest shredders of the Constitution ever. Not a peep from the right on that. It was *crickets*.
    How would you like to ditch your scary Medicare and try to get a policy from the private sector? Hah! That would be really scary, you probably couldn't even get one at any price!
