| Confirmation Vote as Early as TODAY! |
As you have heard, Obama has nominated the rabidly anti-gun doctor Vivek Murthy to be Surgeon General of the United States. The lame duck Senate is attempting to rush a vote on his confirmation while Democrat Harry Reid remains in control. In response, our friends at Gun Owners of America have released the following alert:
Like most of Obama's nominees, Murthy's primary "credential" is his fervent support of Barack Obama during the last presidential election. As such, the office of Surgeon General - once an honor given to physicians who have distinguished themselves in their field - has now become nothing more than electoral "payback" to a political hack.
And make no mistake about it: Murthy gives the term "hack" a bad name.
Head of Doctors for Obama, Murthy dutifully changed the name to "Doctors for America" just as other Obama house organs were making similar changes. After the shooting in Newtown, Murthy’s group authored an open letter to Obama that urged restrictions on gun rights in the name of the medical profession, stating:
“It’s time for common sense gun rules like background checks and banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, as well as a comprehensive plan to address gun violence including ensuring funding for research and data-collection on gun violence and ensuring that health care providers can ask patients about gun ownership in order to counsel them appropriately about safety measures.”
This would put Murthy to the Left of Obama's public position on gun control.
Murthy's internet communications reflect a similar hatred for the Second Amendment. The Twitter feed of @vivek_murthy reads, in part:
1. Vivek Murthy @vivek_murthy Apr 21
Signs of progress-we got 20 votes in the senate in favor of gun violence legislation that we wouldn’t have had 1 year ago. Have faith #dr4a
2. Vivek Murthy @vivek_murthy Apr 21
Docs fired up to keep fighting for gun safety laws @Drsforamerica natl conference with @haroldpollack Brina Milikowsky, Eric Fleegler #dr4a
3. Vivek Murthy @vivek_murthy 21 Dec 2012
NRA press conference disappointing but predictable - blame everything in the world except guns for the Newtown tragedy. #wakeup
If Murthy, as a mere Obama lapdog, was bent on threatening the Second Amendment, imagine what he would do with his hands in control of federal "health" research funds. We already know that President Obama would like to unleash taxpayer dollars in order to produce junk science supporting gun control.
The fight to defeat Murthy's nomination is made harder by the fact that anti-gun Senators like Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Kay Hagan (D-NC), Mark Warner (D-VA), Mark Udall (D-CO), Mark Begich (D-AK) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) have voted to change the Senate rules so that Murthy can be confirmed by 50, rather than 60 votes.
But we are not going to allow the confirmation of this anti-gun crazy without a fight. And Gun Owners of America will score a vote in favor of Murthy as an anti-gun vote.

Suggested Subject: "Vote NO on Murthy for Surgeon General!"
Dear Senator:
Vivek Murthy's only qualification for the position of Surgeon General is prior political support for President Obama.
His hostility toward the Second Amendment rights of Americans demonstrates that he is unfit for this important position.
As my Senator I insist that you vote against his confirmation.
Sincerely,
