Got Democrat?

As in a Democrat for a Congressman? Then you’ll be needing to get on the stick, Bucky, and put your best Democrat sounding voice to the test.

Countertop sends warning:

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., is challenging Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., for the chairmanship of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee. “I began making calls this morning to members and I informed Chairman Dingell that I am running for chairman,” Waxman told National Journal today. Waxman has long been the second-ranking Democrat on the Energy and Commerce panel, and is currently chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. His bid to topple Dingell, the longest-serving member of the House, marks an unexpected battle between senior Democrats for a powerful post overseeing major pieces of expected legislation on health care, global warming and renewable energy. Dingell chaired the Energy and Commerce Committee from 1980-1994, and regained the chairmanship when the Democrats took back a majority of the House two years ago.(Link)

If Waxman wins, expect the Consumer Products Safety Commission to have jurisdiction over firearms. If Waxman wins, expect a gun show ban.

If Waxman wins, expect a gun control orgy.

Waxman will very likely have the support of SanFranNan to make the push. You need to get your game face on and remind any Democrat who represents your state in the House to oppose this maneuver.
