The vote is coming soon, and it's going to be close.

The vote in question is on John Bolton, whom President Bush nominated

to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. The Senate has twice

put off a vote on his nomination, but Capitol Hill insiders expect

the final vote will come as early as next week.

The anti-gunners in the Senate have tried everything they can to

derail his nomination. Bolton is EXTREMELY pro-gun and has a record

of opposing UN tyrants who wish to impose gun control on our country.

In 2001, Bolton defended American gun owners by stating our country

would oppose any UN effort to regulate non-military firearms or any

effort that would "abrogate the constitutional right to bear arms."

Because of his stand, Bolton is credited with destroying any hope

other nations had of achieving a consensus on gun control.

Bolton also spearheaded U.S. opposition to the International Criminal

Court -- a world court that would have been packed with extreme,

far-left, activist judges.

While President Clinton initially signed the treaty to establish this

anti-gun world court, the Bush administration reversed his decision.

John Bolton was the man who had the pleasure of signing the

paperwork, declaring that the day he signed the letter withdrawing

the U.S. signature on the treaty was "the happiest moment of my

government service."

You would be hard pressed to find an experienced candidate who is

more pro-gun than Bolton or who is more outspoken against UN abuses!

ACTION: Please contact your senators immediately. Urge them to vote

to confirm John Bolton. This vote could occur as soon as Tuesday, so

please ACT NOW!

e-mail message.

-----Pre-written letter-----

Dear Senator:

The United Nations is no friend of the United States or the Second

Amendment. The General Assembly is controlled by thugs and dictators

who would impose gun control on a worldwide basis, including the

United States.

This is why we need a man like John Bolton to represent us at the

United Nations. We need a strong-willed patriot who will oppose this

world body whenever it tries to impose its anti-American agenda upon

us.

Bolton has a long and distinguished service in the State Department.

He has a proven record of supporting America first and for defending

the constitutional rights of every citizen.

Please support the nomination of John Bolton and oppose any effort to

delay such a vote. Thank you.

Sincerely,
