---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 00:45:02 -0400 From: Weldon Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WANT YOUR GUN RIGHTS BACK? READ THIS WANT YOUR GUN RIGHTS BACK? READ THIS Ladies and Gentlemen: We believe it will be worth your time to read all of this message. THE COMPLAINT For decades gun owners complained that we were losing the Second Amendment war because our point of view and our arguments were never heard in the newspapers, on the radio, or on television. They complained that gun owners and gun rights organizations always "preached to the choir", and that their message never got out to the public. THE RESPONSE -- FINALLY But now our message IS getting out to the public. AGGRESSIVELY. You've probably heard of us by now: Citizens Of America, a non-profit organization that is running a NATIONAL PRO-GUN media campaign. That's ALL COA does: no lobbying, no PAC funds, nothing but producing these ads and getting them out to the GENERAL PUBLIC. And until now, you never heard ANYTHING like our hard- hitting, emotion-directed radio and print ads in the mass communications media. If you want to HEAR the radio ads, continue reading and then come back and click here: http://www.citizensofamerica.org/radio.htm If you want to SEE the print ads, click here: http://www.citizensofamerica.org/print.htm NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD COA is only nine months old, but already the radio ads have run in 42 states on over 270 radio stations. At any given moment, thanks to people like you and patriots in the broadcast industry, they are running RIGHT NOW somewhere in the country, on the radio and on cable television. Thanks to patriots in the publishing industry, the print ads have been distributed in the tens of thousands. COA is funded by people like YOU. COA has no income- producing fund to draw on, no memberships that we constantly renew, no wealthy private or corporate backers (yet), no $100-million plus NRA-size budget (yet). COA will exist only as long as citizens like you donate to the campaign. We hope to win this war and put ourselves out of business as soon as possible. But in any case, we will not exist one day longer than we can pay to exist, and right now we need funds to continue. LET COA FIGHT FOR YOU Remember: only COA focuses on getting the gun rights message to the GENERAL PUBLIC. And our messages aim at their guts and hearts. You can help us. For the next year, devote 33 cents a day to continue this one-of-a-kind national campaign. That's ten dollars a month. $120 for the year. If you think we've doing a good job, then give us 33 cents a day next year. If you've already donated something this year, please consider bringing the total up to $120. WE ACT NOW OR SUFFER LATER Does $120 a year seem like a lot? Three or four years from now, when the news media, the federal government and state governments have inundated the public with enough unanswered lies to turn them against you, enough unanswered propaganda to convince them to vote for more bans on guns and the freedom to own and shoot guns, you'll wish you had spent twenty times that amount. If you simply cannot afford $120, then donate what you can. (We do offer incentives: like a free Kydex holster from Springbok, Inc. if you donate at least $75. Come back and read this when you finish the rest of this message: http://www.citizensofamerica.org/programs.htm ) WE USED TO HATE... ...to ask for money. It's not enjoyable. But that changed when we saw how much irritation these ads are causing our enemies. And when we get emails and letters from people who USED to be anti-gun, but changed their minds when they became aware of the issues that COA ads bring up. Now we ask for money because we absolutely believe we can make a difference. OUR CURRENT SITUATION Over the last nine months we've SPENT your past donations- -as efficiently as possible—keeping this ad campaign going. We work out of donated office space, have a minimal staff, and use volunteers or subcontractors for everything else. These ultra-efficient methods have worked so far, and we intend to continue this way. But because our donor base is still in its infancy, with many gun owners and gun-related businesses still unaware of what we're doing, and because this is a CONTINUING campaign, we're nearly out of funds and are in danger of having to cease operations. So if you want to help, NOW is the time. Please -- DO NOT count on someone else to donate for you. You can donate with a credit card by scrolling to the bottom of our homepage at: http://www.citizensofamerica.org Or send a check to Citizens Of America, 2118 Wilshire Blvd. #447, Santa Monica, CA 90403. STILL UNDECIDED? No, COA isn't the ONLY answer to winning this war. GOA, JPFO, KeepAndBearArms.com, 2AnewsTeam and others are performing valuable functions. But COA alone devotes all its resources on an essential but almost totally neglected task: spreading the pro-gun message to the GENERAL PUBLIC, not just to gun owners, gun rights organization members, or those who purposely seek out such information.
