Multi-State Action Alert: March 13, 1998
"Gun owners helping gun owners across America"
Gratuitous flip-flop insults gun owners across America.
The Headline said: "Why I was wrong on guns."
Al Salvi, Commentary, Chicago Sun Times, 1997
Tell Al Salvi, who has cynically re-invented himself, that
supporting gun control is bad policy and bad politics.  Tell him
that he is NOW wrong on guns.
In 1996 Al Salvi:
*  signed a statement that he would vote to repeal the Brady law.
*  signed a statement that he'd vote to repeal the Clinton
   semi-auto gun ban.
*  said he opposed all tax-payer subsidies to anti-gun lobbyists.
*  actively sought the support of Gun Owners of America  members.
*  actively sought the support Gun Owners of America PVF.
Then he lost his statewide race for the U. S. Senate.  He had to
blame someone, and he couldn't blame his lousy campaign for the
general election.  So now he blames the "extreme" gun owners
whose support he sought to win the 1996 primary.  In spite of his
loss he out-polled Bob Dole statewide.  His defeat can't be
blamed on the gun issue.  Rather it was his own gaffes and the
anti-gunners in the Republican establishment who wouldn't work
for him.
Now in 1998 Al Salvi is in Op-Eds in the Chicago Sun Times and on
television:
*  saying he supports the Brady law.
*  saying he supports Clinton-type semi-auto gun bans.
*  running TO BE a taxpayer subsidized anti-gun lobbyist.
*  saying he opposes concealed carry for personal self-defense.
*  attacking the very gun owners and groups whose support he
   sought in 1996.
Here's what you can do to show Al Salvi you disagree with his
betrayal:
1) Contact his campaign by Fax and phone between now and the
evening of Tuesday, March 17, 1998.
2) Don't give up until you make repeated contact with him or
his staff.  Deliver your message of firm opposition to his
flip-flopping on the issues.
3) Ask for other contact numbers to deliver your concerns.
Keep calling until someone listens and Al Salvi apologizes
publicly.

please let us know by Fax or E-mail.

Guns Save Lives
------------Clip and FAX Message----------------
Dear Al,
I urge to publicly apologize for your cynical and gratuitous
flip-flop on the rights of gun owners.  Politicians like you who
use issues and people to advance career ambitions are turning
off voters and ruining the political process in America.
Our Founding Fathers gave their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor to secure the right to keep and bear arms.  You
have disgraced their fine legacy.   I will continue to be
vigilant and I will let other concerned Americans know what you
are doing.
Sincerely,
                _________________
