To All, CNN is trying to do a job on gun owners. They are doing a quick poll asking if the assault weapons ban should be lifted or extended. Since mostly liberals support CNN, the poll is showing a huge loss to our position. So, get this out to everyone you know ASAP to impact the poll. It takes about 30 seconds to link over and vote. Do it right away. The poll wont stay up long. And distribute right away to your friends.
We really need some help on this poll. So far we are losing almost 3 to 1. I think everyone is aware how much mileage the folks at CNN are going to try and get out of this if in fact the results show the majority of people want the AWB extended. Please take a minute to go to the site by clicking the link below and cast your vote.

Having to protect my rights in this way, by voting at CNN, for whom I have only slightly more respect than Cannes, is bad enuf. Closing the ad for videos of Sex in the City and Monster was even more discouraging.

P.S. maybe I'll vote again, if I can stomache it.

I couldn't get this link to work. I searched the CNN site with no luck. Let me know where it is and I will gladly vote.

This link doesn't work at this end. All we get is an " error 404" message.

Strange. Seems like the site is up and down. I couldn't vote an hour ago, but I just voted with Mozilla and Netscape 7.0. Vote early and often.
Bye

Woo hoo we're in the lead...lets keep it this way! Spread the word!
This poll is already mentioned in the General forum at the beginning of the board.

Just voted, it shows 'lifted' to "banned" 54% to 46%. We're in the lead, keep pouring the votes in. Course if 'lift' actually wins , the whole poll will just be dumped with no furthur mention.
I've found postings on this same poll in two other forums - how many times is it going to be posted on the board?

I just voted, it's still 54% to 46% in our favor; total for lifting the ban is now 176003.
FYI: I had difficulty when I used the entire URL, so I ended the address after gun.control.ap and found it. When I tried to copy and paste the whole URL that Rigby275 listed above, CNN just gave me an error message saying that the item I was looking for may have been removed.
I wonder if they will publicize it if they loose the poll?
Woohoo! It worked and I did my part.

Finally got it to work! Still has 54% for lifting and 46% for extending.

As of 0300 Friday 052804 it's still up, KEEP VOTING! Let's show Ted and Jane what REAL Americans think! Maybe if we win by a wide margin, Ted will give the NRA a Billion bucks, like he did the U. N. :D
Who the heck am I kidding? He's an idiot! :rolleyes:

Tried to vote but it would not accept my vote. Wrote CNN and told them what I thought of their trying to get a vote their way only.

Just logged in to check. 5/28/04. 56% in favor of NOT renewing, 44% FOR renewing. When I voted a couple of days ago, it was better in our favor. It has gone down some. After PRO GUN got the alert, ANTI's must have also movolized. So get in and vote!

I was just at CNN's web site and voted (more than once) and their current tally shows 59% for lifting the ban, and 41% for extending it on assault weapons. Thats if I was reading the correct voting poll results. If I'm wrong please correct me.
