         DEAR GUN OWNER

Because Barack Obama's campaign promise
not to take away our guns is a lie.

           He's not even in office, yet he's fired the opening salvos in a war
against the future of the Second Amendment, our hunting and shooting traditions, and YOU.

           Obama's FIRST attack on YOU : Appointing Illinois Congressman
Rahm Emanuel to be White House Chief of Staff. In Congress, Emanuel
earned an "F" rating from NRA, and while working in the Clinton Administration,
he was known as the "point man on gun control." He is an avowed enemy of the
Second Amendment and will wield enormous power in the battle for the future of our firearm freedoms.

           Obama's SECOND attack on YOU : If Hillary Clinton is confirmed as Secretary of State,
she'll rip the Second Amendment right out of the Bill of Rights. She'll be our nation's top
diplomat with the power to determine whether the United Nations will pass,
and Obama will sign, a global gun ban treaty that will surrender our Second
Amendment rights and our national sovereignty.

           Obama's THIRD attack on YOU : Nominating ex-Senator and former Majority
Leader Tom Daschle-an avowed enemy of NRA-to be Secretary of Health and
Human Services. NRA was responsible for defeating Daschle when he ran in
South Dakota for re-election to the Senate. If Daschle is confirmed, he could
hold the ultimate power to declare guns a "public health menace" and regulate
away our essential liberties.

           Obama's FOURTH attack on YOU : Nominating Eric Holder to be Attorney
General. As former Assistant Attorney General, Holder was a key architect and
vocal advocate for the Clinton era's sweeping gun ban agenda. He supported
national handgun licensing, mandatory trigger locks, and ending gun shows as we know them.

           Just recently, Holder opposed the District of Columbia's Heller decision
that declared the Second Amendment an individual right. Holder also called for
reviving the Clinton gun bans and, as Attorney General, would fight in court to
prevent the landmark Heller decision from being made applicable to state and local governments.

           Worst of all, if Holder is confirmed as the nation's top law-enforcement
officer, he would control BATFE and wield enormous power to harass gun
owners and sue America's arms makers out of existence.

           Obama's FIFTH attack on YOU : In the job application for the Obama
Administration, he made it clear that gun owners are second-class citizens
and told 80 million gun owners not to even bother applying for a job. In the
"White House Personnel Data Questionnaire" he asked:

           "Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide
           complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever
           lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has
           been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage."

           This chilling notice to gun owners-that they are not welcome to serve in
his Administration-shows the deep hostility for Americans' Second Amendment
Freedoms that Obama and his Administration have in their hearts.

           On its face, that question endorses gun registration-a mandate in only five
states in our nation-and buys into the anti-gun premise that firearms are inherently
dangerous and gun owners are prone to misusing them.

           That's an outrageous mindset, especially for the President-elect whose
sworn duty will be to uphold the U.S. Constitution, including our right to keep and bear arms.

           Obama CLEARLY wants to make gun registration the law of the land.

           First for employees under his control...AND THEN FOR YOU.

           Working with a Congress dominated by gun haters like Nancy Pelosi,
Dianne Feinstein, John Conyers, Henry Waxman, and Charles Schumer!!!

           Rubbing salt in gun owner wounds is the Brady Campaign, which
just issued a completely bogus poll claiming that two-thirds of the Americans-i
ncluding 60% of all gun owners-favor gun registration, licensing of firearm
owners, and other sweeping restrictions on our firearm freedoms!

Add it all up and you have the potential
for a Second Amendment disaster that's unlike
any other NRA members have ever battled.

           That's why we need the strongest possible commitment from EVERY
NRA member, starting today. That's why I'm hoping you'll validate your new
NRA membership card the moment you receive it.

           Because our greatest strength is you.

           Only by working with you can NRA hold the line against these threats
from every quarter. We are the one force that has the strength to keep
Americans free and our rights intact for future generations. With you at our
side, we will fight and we will prevail against all odds.

           Thank you for your loyalty to NRA and the cause of Freedom.

and Urge Them to Join NRA Today!

Dear Friend,

The challenges America faces may appear overwhelming. But you and I both know that if we adhere to the founding principles of individual liberty, federalism, and truly limited government, there is no obstacle the American people cannot overcome.

But the forces driving our country away from those First Principles are strong. They demand an ever-increasing growth in government, higher and higher taxes, and a judiciary that makes law and social policy instead of sticking to the wisdom of the Constitution.

It’s clear that we need men and women in Washington and in the statehouses across America who believe, as we do, in the fundamental principles of limited government restricted by enumerated powers.

That is why I an announcing the formation of Fred PAC, a political action committee dedicated to helping elect candidates who stand for the principles you and I hold dear – principles that are the only sure salvation for America.

Please visit our website at www.FredPAC.com. Learn how you can help.

Your support and assistance has meant a great deal to me and my family as we defended America ’s First Principles. I know that in the days ahead we will continue in the fight for a strong, free, secure America … together.

Thomas Jefferson once wrote, the natural progress of things
is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground, in
debate on the Bill of Rights James Madison wanted the
American people have the right to be armed in order to
prevent the kind of tyranny that dominated the rest of the
world especially Europe. Trust me,one of the reasons in the
past that we never got attacked directly is because of
private gun ownership. Countries that have gun control
still have high crime.

In the last century totalitarian regimes such as Soviet
Union and Nazi Germany successfully confiscated firearms
from their citizens in order to force them to submit more
easily.

The second amendment ensures that Americans have the
ability to secure their rights and defend them from
government suppression if necessary. It is that right that
a government of the people by the people and for the people
must never extinguish.

When someone stands on a stage, in a stadium, surrounded by
people giving a speech and he's the only one on this stage,
does that remind you of someone in 1930s Germany doing the
same thing with the cheering crowd. Is this the part of the
new world order that the Democrats are moving towards….

I used to like the Democratic Party, they were the party of
the people but now they are leaning towards things they
shouldn't, they are becoming socialistic, just as the
party's did in early Europe, before those countries were
taken over.We fought wars against socialism, it is not the
American way.

Someone once said Congress is brain-dead, well they have
been brain-dead for years, they're supposed to represent
the American people, but they only represent themselves in
their own self-interest while the American people are
losing their jobs, they vote themselves raises, give
themselves early retirement after one term, this is not why
we elected them to office.

They've known from me years they need to do something about
greenhouse gases, the environment, alternative energy, but
in the past have only paid lip service to these issues...
so here we sit 20 years later and nothing has been done.
But they attack items like the 2nd amendment and try to
change it,(this take our mind off of the things that are
really important) that they can`t do anything about,like
jobs,homes,food,etc…………….

It takes more than a new president to get issues corrected,
without Congress who are always in power, and still nothing
is ever done about the important issues,year after year.

Maybe we should vote them out and start over.

While I don't always agree with the Republican choice, it
is far better to vote for them, than to vote for Democrats
and socialism and the changes it will bring, let me get
this straight, race has nothing to do with it, it is what
that party believes in, they think they know better than
the people what's good for them, and they want to tell us
how to run our lives.

To get my vote back, they need to become the party of the
people again, and leave things like gun ownership alone and
get on with the really important issues.

ANTI-GUNNERS DON CAMO FOR ELECTIONS 2008
ANTI-GUNNERS DON CAMO FOR ELECTIONS  2008

Seeking to pick up the baton dropped by the ham-fisted Americans for Gun
Safety, the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA) has arrived
on the scene to become the latest front group for the anti-gun movement
in America.

Our tireless efforts and resulting victories at the ballot box have made
it clear that openly campaigning against the Second Amendment is a
political loser.

The anti-gun groups have undertaken a concerted effort to mask their
long-term agenda, but only as a mark of pure, calculating political expedience.
It surprised no one when Handgun Control, Inc., decided to change its
name to the decidedly vague "Brady Campaign."

 But the effort to paint the anti-gun agenda with the comfortable warmth
of "gun safety" rhetoric moved from tactical to strategic with the
formation of Americans for Gun Safety (AGS) in July 2000.

 Funded solely by New York City dot-com billionaire Andrew McKelvey—
previously a member of the Handgun Control, Inc., board.....
the democratic and republican canidates must be made to answer one
question "do they support the 2nd amendment? and the right to bear Arms"
everyone thinks courting the younger generation vote is the way to go
but they forget how strong our vote is.

Which ever one says yes to the 2nd amendment in no uncertain terms can
probably garner more than 40 million votes, but so far all canidates are
being extrmely quite on this issue,makes you wonder what their hidden agenda is?
Candidates who championed gun control in contested races were nearly
non-existent. but this was to be expected,if they don`t talk about
it-you won`t know they are against you.................

Even while we are busy defending our Second
Amendment rights against efforts to enhance the
Brady Law, there is a movement afoot to restrict
our First Amendment rights as well... a movement
that can make the defense of our liberties that
much harder.
You may have heard of this effort as the "Hush
Rush" bill or, just simply, as the Fairness
Doctrine. No matter how you look at it, however,
there is nothing fair about it.

You must ASK the canidates how they feel about the
2nd amendment,
they are being quiet on this for a reason
so ask or loose your rights again

Who does congress think they are?
the certainly don`t ask us before they
 try to enact this stuff..they do what they want
no matter how we feel on a subject

Better termed the UnFairness Doctrine, it would radically limit the type of information you hear in the media and would greatly restrict access by Gun Owners of America to the airwaves.

Access to talk radio has been crucial for GOA. If we had to depend on network news alone, one would think that crime is out of control. Talk radio has given Second Amendment supporters the opportunity to present the data that more guns in the hands of the public has actually lowered crime.

On June 28, the House of Representatives voted 309 to 115 for an amendment -- offered by pro-gun Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) -- to defund enforcement of the unFairness Doctrine. This was a great victory. But even though the amendment -- which was added to a Federal Communication Commission appropriation (HR 2829) -- was a victory for supporters of the First Amendment, it does not give lasting comfort to supporters of free speech.

The vote on the appropriations amendment applies only to FCC actions in 2008. Since no one thinks that the Commission would move to reimpose the unFairness Doctrine until after 2008, what is needed is enactment of S. 1748, the Broadcaster Freedom Act which was introduced by Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN).

The so-called Fairness Doctrine is openly touted as a way to squelch conservative's market-driven dominance of talk radio. For example, Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma reports overhearing a conversation between Senators Hilary Clinton (NY) and Barbara Boxer (CA). The two Senators were complaining about conservatives' success in the free market of ideas on radio and said "We've got to have a balance. There's got to be a legislative fix for this."

The UnFairness Doctrine is on its face an attack on free speech. Were folks like Senators Clinton and Boxer truly interested in balance, they would want to extend their unFairness Doctrine to the Public Broadcasting System and the network news programs, almost all of which tilt to the left.

The anti-free speech forces in Congress may want to gag talk radio because Air America has staggered into bankruptcy. Air America, which was the left's failed attempt to compete with conservative talk radio, has almost no audience. It got its clock cleaned and has only itself to blame. It should not be allowed to hide behind a phony "Fairness Doctrine.

Remember, the First Amendment protects free speech, not fairness. Free speech is a constitutional doctrine; using the power of government to mandate political "fairness" is a socialist doctrine.
