SECOND AMENDMENT CALL TO ACTION: EMERSON CASE
Seniors United Supportinh the Second Amendment ^

Posted on 05/26/2002 8:17:19 AM PDT by SUSSA

Please help. The U.S. Supreme Court will more than likely hear the Emerson Second Amendment case (U.S. v. Emerson). This case has the potential to do for Second Amendment rights what Roe v Wade did for abortion, but we must act to make that happen.

Seniors United Supporting the Second Amendment is trying to raise enough money to file an amicus (friend of the court) brief in this case. However we need your help.

We have made arrangements with an experienced, conservative, constitutional attorney to research and write the brief at very low cost. But we need to raise enough money for the printing and other costs. As you can guess, this is not a cheap undertaking and we are a small group.

I'm asking Freepers to contribute to this effort to save the Second Amendment. We need to raise another $2500.00 for this project. Once the Supremes announce that they will hear the case, we will have less than 90 days to write print and file the brief. That means that we have to have the money in the bank when the Court makes the announcement.

Contributions to SUSSA are tax deductible. SUSSA is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3), charitable, civil rights, organization. We are asking Freepers who support the Second Amendment to please help us in this project. Contributions can be sent to SUSSA, P.O. Box 29132, Dallas, TX 75229. Any help Freepers can give us will be greatly appreciated. This case may well be our best hope for restoring our Second Amendment rights.

PLEASE HELP!! www.sussa.org

The Court made abortion a sacrament that can only be regulated in the smallest most restricted ways. I'd love to see guns as easy to get and carry as abortions are. You can get an abortion without even giving your name and with no government supervision.

I agree 100%. My only point was guns should the right to own and carry should have the protections the Court created for abortion. I'd be very happy with having guns as protected as abortion is.

SUSSA is a friend to FR, and I don't think Jim has any problem with this appeal. If he did, he or one of his moderators would have made their displeasure known.

I support the effort, but as one who has volunteered countless hours for 2nd amendment fights, couldn't they find some volunteer attorneys?

Much of the wqork is being done by volunteers. Some expenses are unavoidable like printing and research. The lead attorny is just getting expenses. Most briefs to the Supreme Court cost many tens of thousands of dollars.
