...help win our final, STAND AND FIGHT
decisive battle against the
Obama-Biden-Bloomberg
gun-ban machine!
January 10, 2014
Dear Patriot,
...asked
for your personal help in winning the last, most important battle we'll ever
face against President
Barack Obama and his lifelong gun-ban agenda...
The
moment
Obama won reelection in 2012, he and his allies laid siege to the
Second Amendment – just as you and I had predicted he would.
His
attack dogs in the U.S. House and Senate introduced more than 50 bills aimed
directly at the heart of our freedoms. Mayor Michael Bloomberg opened up his
$31 billion bank account and began pumping staggering sums of money into
Obama national gun-ban crusade.
Obama's Secretary of State, John Kerry,
signed the U.N. gun ban Treaty with no hesitation, and no input from the U.S.
Senate as the Constitution requires.
Only
your NRA support and your fighting spirit have kept our freedoms alive. You've
stood like a brick wall between
Obama and our cherished rights, and I'm proud
beyond words for all your sacrifice and hard work.
But
now, we face one final and decisive battle against
Obama and his ambition to
disarm the American people before he leaves the White House. It's a battle we
can't afford to lose, and one that can't be won without your help.
That battle will take place on November
4, Election Day, 2014. And on that one single day – as much as any day in
American history – the future of our guns and our freedoms will be decided once
and for all.
If
Obama gains just a bare handful of U.S. House and Senate seats in this
election, the door will be wide open for him to achieve his lifelong dream of
dismantling the Second Amendment during his last two years in office.
But if you and I can hold the line one
more time – and stop
Obama from gaining a rubber-stamp
anti-gun majority in
Congress – then freedom's survival through the end of
Obama's presidency will
be in sight and within our reach...
No
other organization – and no other group of people – has a greater role to play
in stopping the
Obama-Biden-Bloomberg
gun-ban machine from grabbing control of
Congress on November 4th, and setting the stage for European-style disarmament
of law-abiding citizens.
Every
day of the year, NRA fights for what's good and right about our country. We
tell the truth. We stand on principle. We fight for the Constitution. We never
submit or surrender.
And
this time, it's not just our gun rights at stake. It's our freedom, our
heritage, our traditions, and our way of life.
Already,
Barack Obama is well down the road toward reshaping America into a nation that you and I won't even recognize a
few years from now.
He's twisted the IRS into a political
weapon against those who stand in the way of his political goals. He's using
tracking technologies to build profiles on law-abiding Americans – based on
phone and email records, internet use, and social media contact lists.
And
last October, through his use of raw federal power during the "government
shutdown,"
Obama revealed his true contempt for the American people like
no other political official in U.S. history.
Obama built barricades and posted armed
guards around our World War II and Vietnam Veterans
memorials in order to keep veterans out...
He closed down the grocery stores at
Andrews Air Force Base but kept the base golf course open for his own enjoyment...
He cut off cancer treatments for children at the National Institutes of Health,
while sending $445 million to PBS for government-funded broadcasting including
anti-gun propaganda.
At
his core,
Obama is an elitist who is fundamentally opposed to our nation's
founding principles... Who sees you and me as subjects, not citizens... And who would use the power of his office to take our
guns and shred our Constitutional rights the minute he got the chance.
But
two things still stand in his way: The NRA, and you.
More
than any other organization in the U.S.A., NRA represents the values of self-reliance,
individualism, loyalty, and courage – because those are your values and you are
the NRA.
We're
not connected to Washington, but instead, we're connected to every city and town
in America. Our roots aren't in politics, but in homes like
yours. Our values aren't decided by day-to-day polls, but by your unshakeable
belief in freedom.
And
no other organization in America has the same fighting chance to stop the
Obama-Biden-Bloomberg
gun-ban machine in the next election – and end
Obama's
lifelong ambition to destroy our Second Amendment rights.
But
we need your help to do it.
And
that's why, if you haven't done so already, I hope you'll recommit yourself to
the NRA and freedom's fight today, by taking advantage of the special
membership offers...
Every
new member... is one more American who will stand up for freedom in our final
and pivotal battle to preserve our firearm rights until
Obama leaves office.
The more patriots we have on our side lending their voices and votes to our
cause, the stronger our fortress becomes in this final election battle against
the Obama-Biden-Bloomberg
gun-ban machine...
Every battle we've ever won has hinged
on you. Your willingness to pay freedom's price. Your commitment to fight alongside NRA. And now more than
ever before, freedom's destiny depends on your personal resolve to stop
Obama's
gun-ban ambitions, save the country we love, and preserve our right to own and
use firearms...
All
our lives, you and I have lived in a nation where the bottom-line guarantee of
freedom is based on the right of the people to Keep and Bear Arms.
But
there's nothing in our Constitution, or our laws, or our system of government
that guarantees freedom's future survival. Only you and I can do that, and only
by standing shoulder to shoulder with millions of our fellow NRA members in
neighborhoods like yours in every city and county and state across the country.
If
we want our grandchildren to have the freedom to speak their minds without fear
of the government, then we need to defend the Second Amendment from
Obama
today.
If
we want our grandchildren to be able to criticize politicians and government
officials – in public or in private – then we need to defend the Second Amendment from
Obama today.
And
if we want our grandchildren to be able to practice their religious values and
ideals, to be secure in their homes, and to have the right to own and use
firearms to protect the people they love – then you and I need to defend the
Second Amendment from
Barack Obama today.
This
is our once-in-a-generation moment to put our own mark on history, in the
spirit of those who won our freedom more than 200 years ago and who have
defended it ever since.
Please
stand with me today – against
Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg and
the army of gun-ban extremists who are now marshaling for this final, decisive
battle – by extending your membership, signing up your family members, or even
becoming a Life Member of the NRA...
Sincerely,
Wayne
LaPierre
Executive
Vice President
P.S. Every battle we've ever fought together, and
every victory we've ever won, now hinges
on whether
Barack Obama can gain control of Congress on November 4, 2014,
and gain the votes he needs to destroy our rights during his final two years in
office. This is the last election battle we'll ever fight against
Obama. If he
wins, freedom loses. And the outcome depends on the decision that NRA members
like you make right now.
That's
why I'm asking you to recommit yourself to freedom's sacred cause today, by
extending your NRA membership, signing up friends and family members, or even
becoming an NRA Life Member, all at extraordinary discount rates. Thank you
again (NRA, P.O. Box 420765, Palm
