#14 To: Rod & Gun Club Presidents and Members State Firearms Organization Directors Rally in Washington? March on the State House? Why bother? Let's let our fingers do the marching! The WORLD'S FIRST electronic protest march will take place on Wednesday 19 April 1989 from 9:00am EST until 4:00pm PST. What are we protesting? We are protesting the erosion of the Bill of Rights and the Second Amendment in particular. Who are we? We are EVERY law-abiding gun owner in the United States of America! How will this work? Our campaign, known as LET FREEDOM RING '89, consists of ringing the phone of every legislator, every chief executive, at all levels, and telling them that we will NO LONGER BE SILENT on the issue of creeping gun control, that we are in favor of punishing criminals who use guns, not households who have guns. In addition we are going to write letters to these same legislators expressing our views. Mail these letters out on 19 April 1989. We are doing this for pro-gun as well as anti-gun legislators because it will let the pro-gun people know we are behind them 100% and it will tell the anti-gun people that they are on the wrong side of the gun control issue. What can YOU do? You can join us. You can galvanize your membership into action to join us. You can ask the leaders of other organizations that are fighting for the same cause to join us, and to ask their members to join us. In numbers there will be strength, and OUR VOICES, raised in unison, WILL BE HEARD! The gun owners of America have been silent for too long as OUR RIGHT to keep and bear arms has been steadily attacked. We have one more chance to have our voices heard before they will be silent forever. Let's GET THE WORD OUT! Your immediate action is needed. You are among the first to hear about this, so your help in spreading the word is needed. This will be a grass roots movement, not one that will be driven from the top down. But we must use the mechanisms in place --- our local rod and gun clubs, our state firearms organizations, and the NRA, CCRKBA, Firearms Coalition, etcetera. Make a copy of this note and mail it to the director/president of any group that you are a member of. Post it up at your club. Get it on the agenda. We must move fast. So let's not pigeonhole it, rathole it, buttonhole it, or leave it for somebody else to do. Let's DO IT... TODAY! =============================================================================
