QUOTATION: People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing. - Walter H. Judd

2004-09-07 - 2:46 p.m. Stop the NRA My second blog of the day because I received this opportunity to sign onto Tom's petition to support continuing the ban on assault weapons. I hope you'll check out the map and sign on, too. StopTheNRA supports Tom Mauser's petition to renew the Assault Weapons Ban and hopes you will too. Time is of the essence. The ban expires this summer, so please act now. Read Tom's letter below: Dear Friend: Five years ago my 15-year-old son Daniel Mauser was one of 13 people killed at Columbine High School by two students. One of them used an illegal assault weapon. This summer, AK-47s, UZIs, and TEC-DC9s, will be legal again unless we do something about it. In this day and age, nothing could be more insane.
