Title: Fighting Mama Bears and Annie Oakley
Topic: Second Amendment
Discussed by Anna Rittgers
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)

Part 1 of 2

Five bullets fired from a .38 revolver weren’t enough for a Georgia mother of two to stop one intruder in a home invasion. What if there had been more attackers?

The mother and her children would be dead; a man would be without his wife and children. Anne Rittgers, a Senior Fellow at CWFA and mother of 2, says: “Any executive action by President Obama to restrict guns will drastically limit women’s capability to fight back against attackers and protect herself and her family”.

Topic: Second Amendment
Discussed by Anna Rittgers

Guns are used every day by men, women, seniors - even teens - all across the country in self-defense.

Disarming Chicago citizens has not stopped murders, rapes, robberies, and other crimes; disarming the citizens in Chicago has only made crime worse!

This is true for other parts of the country and the world that have banned certain types of guns or banned them all together.

In addition, crimes are committed every day by criminals armed with weapons other than guns. Are we going to ban all those “weapons” too?

Why do you think it is important for the congress to pass a law, send it to the president to sign, to allow a pistol packing momma to carry her concealed weapon across state lines?

Why is it important that all states have reciprocity and allow residents from other states to carry concealed weapons within their borders?

Title: Grocery Cart Economics
Topic: Ethanol
Discussed by Anna Rittgers
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)

What has caused the reduction in corn supply for food stuffs? About 40% of the nation’s corn harvest goes to ethanol production. That means that the supply of corn available for food was already relatively small even before this year’s bad weather.

Anna also discusses the decreased gas mileage with the usage of ethanol as a gasoline additive. Since ethanol wasn’t going to make it in a free market, Congress decided to interfere and directly encourage domestic ethanol production way back in 1978. The U.S. Senate recently voted to allow the ethanol blender credit and import tariff to expire at the end of this year. Congress should take serious action and end ethanol subsidies.
