The Hearing Protection Act & The SHORT Act - Time to make some calls to a TN Republican

[DHF]

The Hearing Protection Act and the Short Act are making there way through the House Ways and Means Committee.  The TFA and GOA have sent out info on this recently that you may have received.  Well, looks like we have another Tennessee Republican throwing a wrench in the gears, again, Congressman David Kustoff from the 8th District (West Tennessee).  Jared with Guns & Gadgets posted a new video on it this morning with the specifics of what is going on.  

Please give Congressman Kustoff a call at his Washington number at least and if you are in District 8, give one of the local offices a call for good measure.  Jared explains the importance of this better than I could.

•    Washington Office - (202) 225-4714
•    Jackson Office - (731) 423-4848
•    Martin Office - (731) 412-1043
•    Memphis Office - (901) 682-4422

Called his Washington office Friday-reminded him that we are watching this-

I'm in Kustoff's district.
I got the email from GOA.

I must admit that I didn't call.
But I did put the GOA suggested message into an email format and sent it off to him.
I'm skeered to call.
If I did, and someone actually answered the phone, there'd probably be black SUV's in my driveway within 24 hours.

I have little patience for politicians.

What gets me past any apprehension is remebering what I heard a speaker at the GOA convention say (I believe it was Brandon Herrera, and I am paraphrasing. If you're the person who says you'd defend your family and their rights to the end but you won't even vote or contact a politician, you are lying to me and yourself.

Also, they'd have an office in my house, if the black SUV thing was a concern.

I got the e-mail from TFA. I sent a hard e-mail. I also just called his Washington office and raised hell!

I was told by the person answering the phone that Kustoff has changed his mind and WILL be supporting the Hearing Protection Act and The Short Act. Looks like he got the message. Well done Tennessee voters.
