Ms Graves, I applause your efforts to dismantle ALEC as it deserves to be. You'd do your country and the Union a great service if you'd expose who and what cabal(s) wrote, pushed & had made the codification of the so-called Patriot Act, Homeland Security Act, FICA, NDAA w/ the indefinite confinement w/o due process provisions. If the people would know this they'd be able to pressure this shadow elite out in the open and take the blame away for the innocent "raghead". This is infinitely more important obviously than the false accusation, "shoot first" and deserves more attention and the light of day. I tell you, you won't or refuse to believe, it is not traditional self defense, the Fla. self defense statute is good law and follows the so-called traditional. This is actually the common law and law of the land. The statute that allowed Mr. Zimmerman from being arrested instead was from another section of the Fla. statutes. The so-called stand your ground law was misapplied by the Fla. civil servants, be it the chief, who has stood down, the local prosecutor either individually or in concert. Public pressure caused the gov. to apply the law as written. Mr. Zimmerman instead of standing his ground was stalking the victim contrary to the essential element in stand your ground and common law. I'm definitely against what Scott Walker stands for (including CCW permits, not for the reasons you stand for but entirely different and lawful). I am against the NRA in awarding Walker any award, but the UGLY award. I criticize the NRA for loosing its way on the core issue of the right to keep and bear. Nugent, whatever he said, still has as you do the right to free speech protected by the very 1st Amend. The LHN is threatening the U.S. citizen w/ indefinite jailing w/o due process and as such violates his solemn oath, fiduciary, domestic law, and the rule of law. I take exception to Color of Change's, Robertson?, slur, "glorification of guns". This right is no less dear and important than his civil rights. Instead, the people should be working to defend against the constant and insistent erosion of individual rights. Infighting only serves to divide our meager resources and play into the hands of the shadow ruling elite. Make no mistake,this is where ALEC springs from.
