    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!

    Please reject HR 45. Chewing away at Second Amendment is one more step to socialism. Let's not totally destroy the fabric of our country in one administration. "We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt." —Thomas Jefferson

    PLEASE ----- REJECT...........House Bill titled 'HR 45, Blair Holt Licensing and Record Act of 2009'. This is yet another stab at the law abiding citizens of this great country! Please, read and adhere to the 2nd Amendmentof our Constitution: "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 stand up for your contituants and reject this bill soundly!!!! I vote and am watching this as well as all other issues very carefully. We need to be going after the criminals and use the laws that are already in effect. This bill will only hit the "law abiding citizens" while the criminals still hold their AK 47s. Thank you and remember: We the People Surround you and promise you will be voted out if you don't start representing the people that hired you in the first place!

    Her office refused to take action on fraudulent Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) posted on corporate websites. Sen. Murray is ranking member on Dept of Labor oversight committee thus is best placed to oversea OSHA. Her aide initially was excited in this method of improving worker safety and information gathering when he thought it might have started under President Bush, but when he found out tha the problem started under the Clinton Administration he dropped their support and wouldn't return calls. Issue: OSHA admits it does not have jurisdiction over MSDSs posted on corporate websites - nobody does. Thus some companies are falsifying MSDSs to claim their products are "nonhazardous" when in fact they may be VERY hazardous (per OSHA 1910.1200 (c) definition. This is a serious issue that has contributed to the death of workers.
