All,<\/p>\n

Here’s Rick Nolan, your representative from CD8.<\/p>\n

\"Banana<\/a>

Banana Republicans (from L): Keith Ellison, Betty McCollum, and Rick Nolan.<\/p><\/div>\n

It was taken this past Wednesday, as he participated in a “sit-in” on the floor of the House, in favor of a bill that would have gutted due process by allowing the government to bar firearms from anyone on a “terrorism watch list” that government can put people on with no due process, no accountability, and no recourse.<\/p>\n

All government has to do is put your\u00a0entire group<\/em> – pro-lifers, hunting rights groups, even union activists – on the “watch list”, and boom; no guns for you. \u00a0 And there’s nothing you can do about it.<\/p>\n

Remember this in November.<\/p>\n
