Dear Friend of the Second Amendment,
Our Second Amendment rights are at stake in the Republican primary in Michigan's 7th congressional district, and the choice is clear: Tim Walberg is a consistent defender of second amendment rights, while Congressman Joe Schwarz is not.
The election is coming up soon, on August 8th, so please read on and act quickly.
Tim Walberg vigorously defended our Second Amendment rights during his 16 years in the Michigan House of Representatives. He is an avid sportsman and understands the Second Amendment is a constitutionally protected individual right. Tim is the type of principled, bold fighter for gun owner rights that we need in Congress.
Tim's opponent, Congressman Joe Schwarz is no friend of gun owners. Schwarz does not believe the Second Amendment is an individual right (Detroit Free Press, 7-5-02). Schwarz opposed Michigan's concealed-carry law and even called it "nuts" (MIRS, 8-31-02). Beyond opposing pro-Second Amendment legislation, Schwarz called gun owners "bubbas" (MIRS, 8-31-02) and described gun owners as "the foaming, salivating concealed weapons crew" (MIRS, 8-31-02).
Joe Schwarz has brought his anti-gun philosophy to Congress. On June 28, Schwarz opposed a pro-gun amendment to repeal a mandatory trigger lock requirement.
Gun Owners of America is dedicated to preserving and defending our Second Amendment rights. Firearms ownership is a freedom issue and Tim Walberg is the only consistent defender of freedom in this race. GOA-PVF proudly endorses Tim Walberg for Congress.
However, one person alone cannot win an election, so please join me in supporting Walberg for Congress. This primary race is highly competitive, and the side that mobilizes best will win.
The election is fast approaching. Your donation of $100, $75, $50, or $35 will go a long way in helping Tim reach out to undecided voters.
Even if you don't live in Michigan, it is important that you help to elect this pro-gun champion.
You can use the enclosed reply form and mail a contribution directly to the campaign at 6769 Teachout Road, Tipton, MI 49287.
Even better since time is short, visit the special webform just for GOA supporters at http://www.walbergforcongress.com/goa/ to make an online contribution.
GOA supporters have come through in the past. With your help, over 15 GOA-backed candidates won in the previous congressional elections.
Now we have an opportunity to improve our numbers even more in this August 8th primary.
By working together we will send Tim Walberg to Congress, where he will be a leader and trusted fighter for the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.
Sincerely,
Tim Macy
Vice-Chairman
P.S. If you live in the 7th Congressional District, please remember to vote in the August 8 Republican primary.
