You should see the army of high-priced gun control lobbyists marching through the halls of Congress every day now.
These people don't know the difference between a shotgun and a rifle. They don't venture outside their elitist gun-hating circles long enough to talk to real gun owners and find out the truth about what we believe.
| |
Yet with a straight face, they're telling YOUR elected officials that they speak for YOU on every critical issue that affects your Second Amendment freedom.
|
They're waving phony polls in front of your elected officials, claiming that a majority of gun owners like you actually want Congress to pass a so-called "universal background check" scheme and pave the way for mandatory gun registration.
They claim you're opposed to passing laws that would restore and protect your fundamental right to self-defense!
They're even saying that most gun owners like YOU want the U.S. Senate to reject any so-called "extreme" pro-Second Amendment judicial nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court and lower federal courts. Why??? Because they claim that you're willing to compromise on judges so we can help bitter Clinton voters and angry, far-left rioters "find healing" after last year's contentious election fight.
| |
You and I both know these are nothing but bald-faced lies.
But that does NOT matter.
|
Unless NRA-ILA supporters like you speak up NOW and fight back with the dead-honest TRUTH about your values, your guns, and how you expect Congress to FIGHT for your freedom - then every one of these lies will become twisted truths in the minds of our legislators...and you and I could come up painfully short in battle after battle for our Second Amendment rights this year.
| |
That's why you need to answer the 9 critical questions in NRA-ILA's 2017 Truth About Gun Owners (TAG) Poll today.
Only YOU can speak for YOU! And your personal answers to these 9 Poll questions are vitally important to helping NRA-ILA win every big fight for our gun rights in the critical months ahead.
|
The fact is, as an NRA-ILA supporter, your voice carries MORE weight on Capitol Hill right now than perhaps any other time in our history...thanks to YOUR heroic efforts in last year's election campaign.
When you speak, elected officials will take notice.
But ONLY when you speak up for yourself and tell Congress in no uncertain terms that you demand STRONG ACTION - not lip service - when it comes to every big issue and every BIG VOTE that MATTERS to your freedom.
Big issues like CONFIRMING rock-solid, pro-Second Amendment justices to the Supreme Court and lower courts.
Big votes like PASSING National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity so that you aren't forced to surrender your fundamental right to self-defense when you travel across state lines.
Big issues like ELIMINATING so-called "gun free" zones that do nothing but create crowds of helpless victims for violent criminals and murderous terrorists.
| |
I need you to make your voice heard NOW.
You and I have a golden opportunity to right the wrongs of the past eight years and secure our guns and our freedom - but NOTHING will be handed to us. We have to fight for it.
|
We have to FIGHT for it against the biggest national gun control lobby that's ever existed in our country...led by billionaire elitists like Michael Bloomberg and George Soros, who are spending untold millions to buy influence in Congress and whip up public hatred toward NRA members, gun owners, and our freedom.
We have to FIGHT for it against thousands of dishonest, despicable journalists and talking heads in the media who go to work every day with one goal in mind: slander, vilify, and demonize you, me, and our Second Amendment rights.
And we have to FIGHT for it against gun-ban leaders in Congress - like Senator Charles Schumer and Representative Nancy Pelosi - whose number-one goal this year is to deny you and me every pro-gun, pro-freedom reform that we EARNED in last year's elections.
| |
I need your help to take our fight to Capitol Hill right now, and that means I need your completed TAG Poll as soon as possible.
|
And please, when you send me your Poll answers, be sure to include a special and much-needed contribution to NRA-ILA.
Last year's massive national election fight took an enormous toll on our finances. We put more money into more races than ever before, and we stretched every last dollar to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House.
And the truth be told, we should be much further along in rebuilding our resources by this point in the year. But we are NOT even close to where we need to be yet.
With once-in-a-generation sized battles like our fight for the Supreme Court, National Right-to-Carry, and dozens more staring us in the face right now - I need your immediate help to make up critical ground TODAY.
I also need you to know that it costs money to process your TAG Poll.
But please understand that every dollar we spend on this effort is some of the best, most effective money we'll spend this year.
That's because your completed TAG Poll has at least 10 times the impact of any radio, T.V., or online campaign we could run...and at a fraction of the cost.
| |
Because as an NRA-ILA supporter, your voice is one of the most powerful weapons in our arsenal.
|
It isn't enough for me to tell your U.S. Representative and Senators where you stand on every big issue that will affect your gun rights this year.
I absolutely NEED to PROVE it to them.
I must PROVE to both of your U.S. Senators that you want them to confirm every one of President Donald Trump's pro-Second Amendment judicial nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court and lower federal courts...by answering Question #1 on your TAG Poll.
I need to prove to your Representative and Senators that if they vote against National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity and deny you your right to self-defense, then you will hold them personally accountable in the next election (Question #6).
I need to show your elected officials that you want to put an END to the lunacy of so-called "gun free" zones (Question #3)...that you oppose national gun registration (Question #5)...that you want President Trump to reverse Obama's anti-gun executive actions (Question #4)...and that you will never forgive any Senator who votes to ratify the U.N. Gun Ban Treaty (Question #9).
| |
Simply put: This is the most important survey you'll answer this year.
|
There is no other action you can take right now that will have a more powerful impact on every major battle that will affect your gun rights than completing your 2017 TAG Poll.
And there is no other contribution you can make that will do more to defend and advance your freedom in every big legislative brawl this year than the contribution you make to NRA-ILA today. Because no other political organization in America has the capacity to do what we do. NOT ONE.
But our strength - every ounce of it - comes from YOU.
| |
So please complete your 2017 TAG Poll and make a generous contribution to NRA-ILA as soon as you can.
|
Thank you for your continued leadership and your willingness to fight.
I look forward to receiving your TAG Poll answers very soon.
Sincerely,
Chris W. Cox
Executive Director
| |
IMPORTANT: I need to collect at least 2,000 completed TAG Polls from NRA-ILA supporters in YOUR congressional district by March 17.
It only takes a couple of minutes for you to have a lasting and powerful impact on every big fight we're facing for our freedom this year. Thank you.
