Dear gun rights supporter,
I’m writing this letter today because I
desperately need your help.
In the last decade our gun rights have taken a
beating.
I’ve done my
part, leading Colorado's only real statewide pro-gun group, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, to defeat gun
control and
defend our rights in the Colorado Legislature.
Now, I’m asking you to do your part.
For the first time in Colorado history, anti-gun groups are making
headway in Colorado, and particularly in the Republican
Party.
You
can bet they will do their part to stack the caucuses
with anti-gun liberals,
all in an effort to destroy the pro-gun faction within the Republican
Party.
I aim to stop them.
If you’re the
type of gun rights supporter who is afraid to speak,
afraid to let people know
how you feel, this letter isn’t for you.
But if you boldly believe that all citizens
are endowed with rights from God, and recognized by
the U.S. Constitution, you
can’t afford to miss this battle.
In just a few days, on Tuesday, March 16th,
precinct caucuses will be held in living
rooms, churches and schools across our
state.
And if gun owners and gun rights supporters
show up in large
numbers, we can send a real message to politicians
and candidates: keep
your hands off our gun rights.
After the Columbine tragedy, we all saw the
State Capitol do a 180-degree turn on gun rights, even though public opinion
polls had not changed.
That trend hasn’t
changed.
They got caught up in the hysteria created
by the liberal media, and they didn’t stop to think if it was the right thing
to do – only if it was expedient.
There are a few of us who have not
wavered in our support of the Second Amendment, and
won’t waver, regardless of
the pressure.
Don’t you think it is time to put the
pressure back where it belongs: in favor of our Constitutional rights, not
against them?
We can do that
by forcing the Republican Party – and any political party, for that matter – to
stand firmly in favor of our Constitutional gun rights.
Precinct caucuses are the best way for a
citizen to get involved in setting public policy, at
the grassroots level.
And this year, where every indicator shows that citizens
dedicated to the Constitution -- like Tea Party and liberty activists -- are going to turn out in record numbers, it is the
perfect time to swell our numbers by turning out every
gun owner we can.
Because so very few people normally get involved in
the precinct caucuses, just a few citizens have an enormous sway over the
political process.
What kind of effect can the precinct
caucuses have?
If gun owners get elected
as delegates to their county conventions, Congressional
Assemblies or the State
Republican convention, we can make a huge difference.
To have the most impact you show up to your
precinct caucus on Tuesday, March 16th at 7 pm with a few friends – they’re your
built-in votes.
And there may be other
gun rights supporters there.
The key is to pass the enclosed resolution,
and to get elected as a delegate to higher conventions.
In other words, stuff these conventions with
gun rights supporters.
Now, party bosses can ignore the
resolution, but not if hundreds of
caucuses around the state have passed them.
The nice part is that party bosses and
members will be forced to choose -– pro-freedom, or anti-gun –- and will find
it difficult to straddle the fence.
Right away, elected officials will feel the heat and see the light.
There is nothing like a legislator’s core
constituency, energized by an issue and armed with
the truth, to lobby them or
even throw them out of office.
This project is
not easy: it takes at least a few dedicated voters to start
the ball
rolling.
And it takes the enormous
effort of a savvy group like Rocky Mountain Gun Owners
to organize it.
But once it gets rolling, it will be
difficult for the anti-gunners to stop.
However, the ball only starts rolling if you
push it.
And you can’t push it if you
don’t show up on March 16th.
That’s
D-Day for gun owners.
And RMGO is the landing craft to get us on the beach.
Here at RMGO, we don't wait for things to happen, we make things happen.
And stuffing the caucuses with pro-gun voters is the kind of thing that really makes a
difference.
I am committed to winning this battle for
our gun rights: are you?
I need you to do
these two things right away, before you forget or
get too busy:
-- Indicate
whether you plan to attend your March 16th Precinct Caucus to sponsor
the enclosed Pro-Gun Resolution (a pdf version at this link or use the below version at the end of this e-mail).
If we
get enough voters running this resolution, the Republican party will be
forced to deal with our issue at their state convention.
-- Send
your most generous contribution possible
to Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, to be used to get more
citizens involved in
defending our gun rights.

Please
send $100, $75, $50, $25, or whatever you can afford for this fight for
freedom.

This
program could be the single most effective program
to put pressure on lawmakers
at every level.
It is also expensive, and I, for one, am
proud to be a part of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, which
is the only pro-gun group in this state that has the guts to
do it.
But
we need your help to do it.
Your
donation of $25, $50, $75 or even $100 is desperately needed to push this
battle from the precinct caucus level all the way to
the State Convention
process.
You can donate by clicking here
A contribution of just $25 allows us to
activate another 75 voters – enough to pass pro-gun resolutions in more than 10
precincts.
And a contribution of $100 is
even more efficient, allowing us to win in 60 precincts.
It’s the kind of program that scares
anti-gun liberals because they know we have the numbers,
and we don’t have to
use the media to get out our message.
We
can do it at the lowest level – the precinct caucuses – and it simply can’t be
ignored by political activists.
Time is short.
I hope and pray you will answer this call to
battle.
Best regards,

Dudley Brown
Executive Director
P.S. You can strike an enormous blow for gun rights
if you will
attend your March 16th precinct caucus and sponsor the
enclosed Pro-Gun Resolution.
And, if you can, donate to Rocky Mountain Gun Owners
with a contribution of $25, $50, $75 or even $100 to aid this crucial program by clicking here.

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners
“Keep the GOP
Pro-Gun"
A
Resolution
Whereas, our founding fathers recognized our God-given right
to keep and bear arms in the Bill of Rights; and,
Whereas, the Colorado Constitution also recognizes
that
right; and,
Whereas, any gun controls which infringe on the ability
of
law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms have no place
in a free society;
therefore,
Be it resolved, that this precinct hereby urges all
Republican candidates and elected officials to oppose
all forms of gun control
and support the right to keep and bear arms, and further
urges the Republican
Party to only support candidates who stand firmly for our 2nd
Amendment freedoms.
Sponsored by _________________________________________on March 16th, 2010.
Passed by a vote of ______________ .
Signed _____________________________,
Precinct Chairman
