Don't get me wrong, not oil of them are like this. Senator Phil Onunm,

Harold Volfcmar are all coming to our aid- But too many other* are not.
And without a major show of force by America’s 90 million gun owner*.

It c«n b« something small ond subtle like a regulation expanding the
disqualification criteria for the Brady Law. They're fighting for anything
that make# it harder for you to own a gun.
The gun banners simply don't like you- They don't trust you. They don't ,
want you to own a gun. A«d they'll *top at nothing until they'v* forced you
to turn over your guns to the government,

In Congress, they have a fail-back position in Bill
tha nose aael-gua President in American
In two short years, Bill Clinton launched two
Constitution. Be cigned two gun control bills into law. He has sworn to
veco any repeal of the gemi-auto ban and any restoration of our Coni
rights.
His Interior and Agriculture Departments nave set their sights on closing
hunting lands.
And his Environmental protection Agency is attempting to take
jurisdiction over existing use* of lead. This, of tours*. Includes gun ranges

What's more, gun owner* aren't the only ones Clinton's EPA has sec''ItB ’■'■l
sights on. They're after fishermen, too. They want to bah the us* of Small

tr fishing sinkers are on the Clinton bureaucrat's list, you know
what's next: i»*rf snot, ijad imLlcta, bullet taatiua and reloading Clinton’s State Department is also adding to the attacks on gun owner#
and our Constitutional freedoms. In December, he signed the Summit of th*
Americas agreements which nltwluafl that the U.S. Government will push for
additional oun control.
over in the Justice Department, Clinton’s Attorney General Janet Reno has
signaled her intent to "squash* the states' rights movement and deny states
their Constitutional power.
And worst of all.
FACT #3: President Clinton'• army of asti-gun government

CPS, ABC, NBC, USA TODAY, TIKE, NEWSWEEK and The New York Time* have
launched another round of phony pel la and slanted stories to help the
anti-gunners achieve their 90 *1 *,
Their latest phony poll show* 70% of America support the 'semi-auto*
assault weapon ban.
That's simply not true. When it's explained that 'semi-autos' are used
in less than a fraction of one percent of crimes; that the ban only affects
the law-abiding; and, that the bon Is only one more way to deny Constitutional
right* to the law-abiding, support for the ban drops to 30%,
, But the media still use* this 701 statistic to trumpet the call for gun
control,
what scare* me the most about this 70 % number i* that the media has;
brainwashed 70% of American* into believing that the government -• and not
each individual •- is responsible for their personal protection,
Even worse, this 7U% number mmins that there are e n o u g h cwoole who EflQ

The media, Clinton, the anti’■gunners in Congress... This combination is a
powder keg that could blow at any moment and it's act squarely underneath the
Constitution,
And what thia means ia«
:

TACT t9 • congress must be forced to restore the Constitution,
repeal the gun ban*, investigate abuse by government agent*
and focus the public debate on criminal control, net gun
control...
...Or whet we're seeing now will oaly be a momentary patch
of sunshine on the road to doom for the Second Amendment and
our constitution.

There is hope, though. Deepito the current situation, I'm encouraged by '
you and your fallow NBA member*.

Thee* petition* spell out, in black and white, our agenda; of ooeuI,
SalfUOB’ Investigate and limit government power.

in the first amendment of the liill of Rights, we are guaranteed the
right to "petition our Government tor a redress of grievances."
And that’s exactly what we're g o in g to do: redrew our grievances in the •
biggest and most powerful display of political clout and commitment to the
Constitution.
T want to personally deliver your five petitions, end the petitions of

all 3.? million of your fellow NRA members -- 17,5 million petitions in all -jto Congress.

And I want to show the leadership in Congress, and your Delegate from
the District of Columbia, that th e number one priority in their Contract
with America must be defending and restoring our Constitutional freedoms.
17,5 million Petitions to congress is the largest "redress of grievances'
since the Constitution end the Bill of Rights were written,
So I KNtw Congress will get the message. And I know they'll act on our
agenda of REPEAL., REFORM and INVESTIGATE it only vou aprt T cncalt put.
Your Petitions to Congress also sends another message -- a message not
spelled out on the Petitions themselves,
Bach congressman, on the average, will receive 0,000 Petitions from NRA
members demanding action, 6,000 messages from angry voters sounds an alarm in
every congressman's head.

That'S why it's critical you take a few minutes to sign your Petitions
to Congress and return them to me as soon as possible.
Klhese petitions are w r D-Day,

•,I.
Armed with these petitions and our first Amendment rights, we are going
to storm Congress, knock out anti-gunner strongholds and recapture every bit
of ground we lost since Bill Clinton took office.
And if we're successful, these petitions will be the turning point In the,
history of the Constitution,., A day when our sacred right to keep and bear
arms will be secure for the next generation of law-abiding Americans,

I Know you see it. Th* elbow room you have to hunt, shoot and live life
the way you #e® tit is slowly disappearing.
And the truth is, NRA members have been hardened by legislative battles.
And only NRA members have the courage, the conviction to draw the line in the
sand.
That's why I'm hoping vou can t a k e a few mnmonr.r. rn sign a n d d a t e t h e

today.
Whether you renew your NPA Membership, or you make a special contribu­
tion, I hope you can do it today.
VOU Know, besides going shooting, I lov® to go to football games. And
every time I go, I always hear my fellow fans talk about the impact of 'the
12th Mn>'
The 11 players celling the plays and doing the hitting get a lot of
their motivation from th* 13th man in the stands. x rm talking about the
crowd who cheers wildly when our team is on the offense, and drowns out the
signals of the opposing team when they're on the defense,
1 need you to be that 13th man,
I need you to sign your petitions to Congress and return them to me
,,
today. That simple act will gi^e our allies the political courage to do
what's right, to push ahead with our agenda of REPSAL, reform AND INVESTIGATE,
Likewise, your signed Petitions to Congress will confuse and demoralise
the anti-gun team and their agenda of bans, taxes, intimidation, harassment
and destruction of th® Constitution,
I Know I've said what I'm about to say before. Byt this is a message
that resonates with NRA members across the land. It's something I hope you,
too, will soy whenever you have the occasion to defend our Conetitutional
freedoms.
This, th* battle we’re fighting today,i M k f is a battle to retake
the most precious, most sacred ground on earth. This 1* a battle for
freedom.
Please tell me you're ready to take the next step by returning your
,,
signed Petitions to Congress or»d renewal payment and special gift to me in the
enclosed postage-paid envelope todayThank you, i look forward to hearing from you soon.
