Small Arms Treaty

Will the highly touted and successful slogan, “Pro-choice” (which was so effective in the losing battle over the Right to Life, itself) prevail in the controversy over legal gun ownership?

Currently, owning a gun is the surface issue being debated at state and national levels in the United States of America. However, beneath that surface, the issue has been lurking on the international agenda beginning in the mid 1990s. Since then the United Nations has undertaken every opportunity to ram into law the “Small Arms Treaty.” It is designed to ban trade, sale, ownership and the eventual confiscation of firearms. Because it is a U.N. project, it is automatically a global or a “One World” project.

This very month, March 2013, the U.N. is meeting and making its move, once again, to ram the “Small Arms Treaty” down our throats, and our guns and our rights into obliteration.

For the love of Sovereignty, please tell our Senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, what your convictions are concerning the “Small Arms Treaty” being pushed by the United Nations for a United States’ signature! It’s your “choice”.....

Prides of Whitman County

Congratulations Colton girls and Pullman boys, both state champs, and Colfax boys, state runner-up! I look forward to stories and photos in the Whitman County Gazette covering the games these ‘Prides of Whitman County’ played in the Spokane (Colton and Colfax) and Yakima (Pullman) basketball tourneys.
