BRADY E-ACTION RESPONSE NETWORK ALERT
=====================================

Issue: 17 - 11/8/2001

November 8, 2001

Dear Friends,

Regretfully, I must report to you that in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks on America, we have been forced to make significant cut backs in our programs, threatening our ability to fight for a safer America.

As I'm sure you know, fundraising for just about every non-profit organization in the country has been seriously crippled as donors nationwide have mourned the loss of more than 6,000 precious lives and have rightly focused on helping the victims of the tragedy.

The Brady Campaign and Brady Center have not been exempt from this sharp downturn in contributions from the public. Consequently, our ability to meet the challenges before us has been severely curtailed. We desperately need your help now more than ever. Fortunately for us and for America, your gift can be worth 50 percent more, if given within the next 30 days.

A generous donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has issued a challenge to our members and supporters. For every dollar contributed, up to $200,000 in the next 30 days, a 50 percent match will be made. For example, a gift of $50 will be worth $75 with our donor's gift. Through this matching gift, your donation is worth more than ever. Please help us take advantage of this opportunity at this critical time when so much is at stake for our country.

Go to http://www.bradycampaign.org/donate today and make your gift worth even more!

There is compelling evidence that terrorists are stockpiling high-powered weapons and ammunition obtained from unregulated gun markets in this country, such as gun shows. These weapons can be used against Americans here at home, smuggled abroad and resold at a profit to buy materials for mass destruction.

In fact, the day before terrorist pilots were committing suicide by crashing jetliners into American buildings, Ali Boumelhem was being convicted in a Detroit courtroom of conspiring to illegally ship shotguns, assault weapons, ammunition and other items bought at Michigan gun shows to Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon.

This is why the Brady Campaign is aggressively pushing for new legislation to add three gun safety measures to anti-terrorist efforts being undertaken by Congress and the Justice Department.

Gun Safety Measure #1: Comprehensive criminal background checks for absolutely all gun purchases, whether they are made at licensed gun dealers, gun shows, flea markets or through classified ads.

Gun Safety Measure #2: Permanent retention of all firearm sales records to ensure that law-enforcement officials can track terrorists, trace their weapons, and know what threats they are facing when they attempt to apprehend these criminals.

Gun Safety Measure #3: Increase identity verification by requiring two forms of valid I.D. and proof of residency.

This is our immediate agenda, and I must tell you that that our financial shortfall is seriously jeopardizing our ability to meet this challenge. In fact, as a part of our forced downsizing and restructuring, we have been forced to lay off approximately 20 percent of our staff.

Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association, with its deep pockets, continues to try to exploit the September terrorist attacks as a reason to buy more guns. But, we cannot let the gun lobby win the day.

Please go to http://www.bradycampaign.org/donate now and give the most generous contribution you possibly can.

We cannot let the terrorists intimidate us, nor let the NRA and the gun industry win. We must move forward. And to do that, we are dependent upon you and all of our members and supporters. Thank you for your helping during these difficult times.

Warm Regards,

Sarah Brady
Chair

I bought a Glock 9mm and it had nothing to do with the NRA although I now do consider joining.

Gun Safety Measure #2: Permanent retention of all firearm sales records to ensure that law-enforcement officials can track terrorists, citizens, trace their weapons, and know what threats they are facing when they attempt to apprehend these criminals. This is her REAL goal.

[spycatcher]

Yeah but watch out for the MMMM (Million Man Muslim March)

[from occupied ga]

More lies from the lying Brady hag

[Question_Assumptions]

And when I recently saw Mandy Patimkin in a theater concert, he was trying to raise funds for PAX (the group that has parents call the parents of their children's kids to see if they own guns) and some other anti-gun organization. They just can't get past the mental barrier that guns can help the "good guys" stop the "bad guys" and do so much more often than they hurt good people.

You would do better to spend you membership money on the JPFO or Gun Owners of America

Really? Why haven't the usual suspects, Rather, Jennings and Brokaw reported this? Losers...

[PRND21]

Like you could wrestle a fork away from one of those Rosies!

[johniegrad]

Yeah but watch out for the MMMM (Million Man Muslim March)......Cut very short by the AAAA(Ac130 Aircraft and Artillery Assault)

[labusiness]

Bump to the experts

[monkeyshine]

LOL. How did the NRA get those deep pockets? FROM THE DONORS! HCI is a bad idea and unsupported by the majority of the people, which is why their funding pales in comparison to the NRA.

[Straight Vermonter]

A generous donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has issued a challenge to our members and supporters. For every dollar contributed, up to $200,000 in the next 30 days, a 50 percent match will be made. For example, a gift of $50 will be worth $75 with our donor's gift.

Obviously they are appealling to the more intellectual segment of society.

Oh, the shame. What dastardly people they must be to suggest that protecting yourself is important now that we know there are terrorists in the country.

Actually, I don't think self-defense is any more critical now than 9/10/01 but if the Gun Control Nuts can abuse that date, so can the NRA.

Shalom.

[CdMGuy]

Wow, if there really is compelling evidence that terrorists are securing weapons at gun shows, etc., then it is imperative for all good Americans to purchase guns as well in order to protect ourselves and defeat these terrorists. Isn't that the real message here?

[The KG9 Kid]

I think it probably wouldn't be such a hot idea to be an Arab terrorist looking to purchase firearms at a gun show in a private deal these days.
