Don't know status of these bills, but they have not gone for vote again. The Senate bill was co-sponsered by Max Baucus!
This bill is also the bill that would require "black boxes" in your vehicles as well as this other stuff. Got this in another email & have condensed it. Again, I am not sure of thiese Bills?
Sorry if this is just garbage & doesn't mean anything.



See that Sen Max Baucus is a co-sponser of this bill!

Obama's mentor, Saul Alinsky, must be SO PROUD. Congress is trying to SNEAK this new IRS power through... by sticking it in a HUGE bill that is supposed to be "to reauthorize Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs, and for other purposes."

WHAT THE HECK DOES A HIGHWAY BILL HAVE TO DO WITH GIVING THE IRS THE POWER TO TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS?

Officially called the "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act," or "MAP-21," this bill goes WAY BEYOND anything to do with highway safety. If it passes, it could give the IRS the power to:


Accuse Americans of delinquency of tax payment without due process
Revoke their passports and travel rights
Place the accused in a centralize database
Authorize the removal of their right to own a firearm

As former Congressman Tom Tancredo notes, "No formal charges are required. Simply the accusation from the IRS is sufficed to strip American citizens of their Constitutional rights."

YOU READ THAT RIGHT: Without ANY right to due process, all that the IRS has to do is simply CLAIM that a citizen owes $50,000 or more in taxes. This accusation ALONE will give the IRS the authority to REVOKE any American's travel rights -- and then remove the right to own a firearm.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! CONGRESS IS READY TO PASS THIS BILL GIVING THE IRS THE POWER TO VIOLATE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!
THE IRS COULD THEN HAVE THE AUTHORIZATION TO STOP YOU FROM BUYING A GUN IN AMERICA!

Don't believe it? Barack Obama's former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel infamously bragged to the Brady Center that the "no-fly" list would be used to bar citizens from rightfully purchasing firearms, putting travelers who've received no due process or been charged with any crime on a binding "no-buy" gun list.

So no, you're not going to find any specific passage in this nearly 2,000-page monstrosity of a bill that says, "the government can take away your Second Amendment rights." As one reporter writes:


"... the key to understanding the eventual consequences of the powers the IRS is given in the new law is what is implied in the bill, not what is specified.

For example, in order for the IRS to carry out its mandate to revoke the passports of citizens who owe at least $50,000 in back taxes, the agency would have to enter such persons in a national database so that any time a 'prohibited person' applies for a passport, that individual would be flagged for a denial.

And this is the thing that has citizens' rights groups up in arms. The government already has 'no fly' lists that prohibit certain persons from air travel. Critics say that the government could easily use such lists to deny Second Amendment rights to those who find themselves on the lists."

So, here's the round-about way that Barack Obama is working to take away our Second Amendment rights: those who are placed on the "no-fly list" are also added to another list, as potential domestic terrorists. Once on that list, those individuals are no longer allowed to have any guns
Being placed on an international "no-fly" list, giving the government the authority to infringe on our Second Amendment rights, is BAD enough... but THERE'S MORE.

As noted in the Examiner, another part of the bill that has gun rights activists worried is on pages 1320-1324:


"This subsection is entitled, 'Firearms.' While the wording is in obscure legalese, it seems to be saying that the person designated as 'the Secretary' is given broad powers over permits and the revocation of permits. And this power is described under the section that specifically deals with firearms.

Lawyers may debate whether or not the wording of the bill gives the IRS the power to suspend gun rights. But government watchdogs have become alarmed over the tendency of legislation to be written in such a manner as to create broad leeway for interpretation, meaning that nebulous wording often leads to an interpretation of the law that confirms the suspicions of many citizens that the federal government is relentlessly engaged in power grabs aimed at limiting the Constitutional rights of Americans.

And given that Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid are two of the most virulent anti gun activists in the Senate, gun rights activists say there is plenty of reason to be alarmed about the provisions of the bill that the two made sure were included."

SO... not only would this bill allow Barack Obama's IRS to put American citizens, who are simply ACCUSED of being delinquent on their taxes, onto a "no-fly" list, which could then give the government the authorization to take away their right to bear arms; this bill could directly affect the rest of us and OUR right to bear arms, too!

If, as this bill implies, Obama's Secretary of Transportation has the power to revoke permits to transport guns and ammunition on the nation's highways and railways, and in other realms of transportation such as air and waterways, then it would directly impact the right to keep and bear arms, given that transportation is the means by which manufacturers deliver their goods to the businesses that sell them.


Congress is ready to SNEAK THIS BILL THROUGH! The Senate version of this bill (S. 1813) passed on March 14th. The House version of this bill (H.R. 4348) passed on April 18th. But the two Houses of Congress passed different versions -- which means they have to pass a NEW bill with the SAME wording.

That NEW bill is now in a Joint Committee -- which means WE MUST ACT QUICKLY to STOP IT!

If we can FLOOD the offices of all of these Congressmen, demanding that they REJECT the "MAP-21" bill, we CAN put a stop to this attempt to TAKE AWAY our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. But we need YOUR help. Send your Blast Faxes to every single U.S. Congressman and Senator NOW!

Sincerely,

William Greene, President

P.S. We want to reiterate, this ridiculously long bill does not come right out and say that the government can revoke our Second Amendment rights -- but it doesn't have to! It DOES lay the groundwork for taking away the right to keep and bear arms, by granting powers to the Dept. of Transportation to stop the transport of firearms (in spite of wording on page 1320 to the contrary -- since an "emergency" would override that wording); and by granting the IRS the power to put people on a "no-fly" list -- which the government has already made clear, would revoke your right to own a gun!

YOU AND I need to FORCE Congress to REJECT this sneak attack by Barack Hussein Obama on our Constitutional rights! TAKE ACTION NOW!
