Today, 31 U.S. House members -- all Democrats -- wrote to President Barack
Obama, urging him to end Administration stonewalling on the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' "Project Gunrunner," and the "Fast and
Furious" program under which border state dealers were encouraged to sell
thousands of guns to suspicious buyers.
In the letter, spearheaded by Rep. Jason Altmire, D-Pa., the lawmakers called the
investigative tactics "extremely troubling" and found the Justice Department's
failure to provide information to congressional investigators "equally troubling."
Saying that Americans deserve "prompt and complete answers," the letter
concluded with a call for the administration to help "get to the bottom of this
serious allegation of federal law enforcement misconduct."

—and if your representative signed it, please be sure to thank him for taking this
stand for strong congressional oversight of this disastrous program.
