Help us Continue the Fight Next Year!

There is no doubt that your faxes and e-mails are having an impact on legislation. One letter by itself might go unnoticed in a Congressional office. But when that one fax or e-mail is joined by hundreds of other communications, legislators have to take notice.

Over the years, making politicians “feel the heat” has become the foundation upon which Gun Owners of America has built its successful lobbying organization. Making politicians “feel the heat” has allowed GOA to bring about positive legislative changes and still maintain a “no compromise” defense of the Second Amendment.

We want to rally as many gun owners as we can next year around good bills like the Citizen’s Self-Defense Act (H.R. 27); the full Lautenberg repeal (H.R. 1009); getting the U.S. out of the anti-gun U.N. (H.R. 1146); the Brady and Semi-auto ban repeal (H.R. 2721); and the good National Reciprocity bill (H.R. 2722) introduced by Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX).

In 1998, with your help, we will use these pro-gun bills to hammer away at the anti-gun lobby and to expose those Representatives who claim to be pro-gun but are just posturing to get the pro-gun vote. At the same time, we want to keep pounding away at horrible bills like S. 10 (Sen. Hatch’s anti-gun crime bill) and the “Incumbent Protection Bills” that would prevent GOA from making politicians “feel the heat.”

If You’re not yet a GOA Member, is it Time You Became One?

The ability of GOA to continue putting pressure on politicians depends on loyal activists like yourself. But there are other reasons to consider joining GOA if you have not done so already. From time to time, some folks wonder why we don’t talk about particular news items in our fax and e-mails. The answer is, we do talk about newsworthy items, but we do so in our newsletter. If you’re not getting The Gun Owners newsletter, then you’re not getting all the news.

GOA’s fax and e-mail service is dedicated (except in very rare circumstances) to giving you ONLY those items that are action oriented. There may be stories out there that are very interesting, and chances are, you can read about it in our newsletter. But in our 1996 End of the Year “GOA Survey,” our grassroots activists (like you) said that you wanted us to continue the same Fax/Email format, and resist using the fax and e-mail as a newsletter.

Thus, GOA will remain committed in 1998 to providing you ACTION news on a timely basis.

BUT, if you would like to keep up on other issues; if you would like to get our special Fact Sheets which are only provided to GOA members; if you would like to receive our very informative newsletter and get pre-printed postcards that enable you to easily lobby your own Congressmen — even to the point of becoming an “arm chair lobbyist” while watching T.V. commercials — then please become a member of GOA today!
