The following will be sent to Kirsten Gillibrand’s Senate office. It doesn’t look like they have e-mail set up just yet: The Honorable Kirsten Gillibrand 531 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington D.C. 2051 Dear Senator Gillibrand, While I am not a constituent of yours, I am am a pro-Second Amendment activist and volunteer here in … Continue reading “Letter to Kirsten Gillibrand”
From the Albany Times-Union. There is definitely a concerted effort among the New York State media establishment to shame Gillibrand out of her support for gun rights. This puts her in a difficult position. I would encourage everyone in New York, especially Republicans, to send their new Senator a note of support, expressing their appreciation … Continue reading “More Media Heat for Kirsten Gillibrand”
This time from Maureen Dowd: So now we have an N.R.A. handmaiden in Bobby Kennedy’s old seat? Kirsten Gillibrand, a k a Tracy Flick, accepting the honor with her Republican pal Al D’Amato beside her on stage? Gross. This is what passes for opinion these days? Talk about catty. Then the Democrats would have had … Continue reading “More Hating on Kirsten Gillibrand”
Looks like someone is considering running against Kirsten Gillibrand other than Rudy and Elmer. She a reliable vote for the other side at this point, so even if they are running and anti-gun Republican against her, it would at least send a message to Gilly that her flip-flop on the issue wasn’t able to save … Continue reading “Gillibrand Gets Another Challenger”
It appears to be official, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney is going to challenge Kirsten Gillibrand for her Senate seat. Geraghty is right that Maloney is no friend of gun owners. But then again, neither is Kirsten Gillibrand since going to the Senate. Don’t get me wrong, Maloney would be a disaster for gun owners, but I … Continue reading “Gillibrand to Face a Primary”
Carolyn Maloney is looking increasingly likely to primary Kirsten Gillibrand. What’s she thinking about running on? “Character,” Maloney said. The brief comment marked an escalation of the upper East Side congresswoman’s attacks on Gillibrand. Maloney has hit her for “evolving” stances on guns, immigration and the economic crisis since Gov. Paterson plucked Gillibrand from a … Continue reading “What Did It Get You Kirsten?”
JR reports she’s listed as a consponsor on the bill, and adds: Isn’t this the same Kirsten Gillibrand everyone was sending money to because she was such a pro-gun Democrat? I will admit I was thoroughly wrong about Kirsten Gillibrand. But at the time I was her advocate, there was no evidence to doubt Gillibrand’s … Continue reading “Gillibrand Sponsors Lautenberg Bill”
Oh how wrong I turned out to be about Kirsten Gillibrand. The New York Daily News even notes the flip flopping. Gillibrand and Schumer want to keep the NICS records for ninety days again, much like they were under Clinton. This goes to show there are no principles in politics, only interests. The anti-gun folks … Continue reading “Schumer, Gillibrand Want Records”
Dave Kopel has an excellent article in the National Review that’s well worth reading, offering Senator Gillibrand some very smart political reasoning for sticking to her position on gun rights: Thanks to the New York media, if there’s one thing that New York voters know about Kirsten Gillibrand, it’s that she’s pro-gun. For most of … Continue reading “Kopel Urges Gillibrand to Stick to Her Guns”
Kirsten Gillibrand gave an interview with New York News 4 where she seemed to back off the provisions of HR4900 that would make the Tiahrt Amendment a matter of law, rather than a matter of having to repass a spending provision each year refusing ATF funding to release trace data except for law enforcement investigations. … Continue reading “Gillibrand on HR4900”
