COACHELLA - Senator John J. Benoit (R-Bermuda Dunes) will be the keynote speaker at the Friends of the National Rifle Association Annual Dinner Banquet to be held Saturday at 7 PM in the Medjool Room at Spotlight 29 Casino, 46-200 Harrison Place in Coachella. Senator Benoit will deliver remarks about his career in public safety and current legislation affecting the rights of gun-owners.
"The constitutional right to keep and bear arms provides law-abiding citizens with one of the most important tools to protect their homes and families from violent criminals," said Senator Benoit. "As Vice Chairman of the Senate Public Safety Committee, I will add my voice and 31 years of law enforcement experience to fight against any and all efforts to chip away at this essential right of a free society. I look forward to sharing developments in Sacramento on this issue at Saturday's dinner."
Senator Benoit has established a strong record of defending the right to own firearms by voting against all attempts to undermine the Second Amendment during his tenure in the Assembly.
Last year, he introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 46, a measure to encourage the Supreme Court of the United States to support the Second Amendment in an historic case that struck down the Washington D.C. Gun Ban. For his efforts, Benoit was honored in 2007 by the California Rifle and Pistol Association as Legislator of the Year.

I received this e-mail. Is anything possible?
SOCIAL SECURITY:
(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)
Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.
Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.
You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable forpersons of their rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.
In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan..
For all practical purposes their plan works like this:
When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.
Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments...
For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7, 800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275, 000..00 during the last years of their lives.
This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.
Younger Dignitarieswho retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.
Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA!!! ZILCH!!!
This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;
"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!
>From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer), We can expect to get an average of
$1,000 per month after retirement.
Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's benefits!
Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.
That change would be to
Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen.. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us
Then sit back.....
And see how fast they would fix it!
