      NRA-ILA FAX ALERT
      Vol. 8, No. 2 1/12/01=20
      YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION IS NEEDED TODAY!
      President-elect George W. Bush has nominated former U.S. Senator =
John Ashcroft for U.S. Attorney General. John Ashcroft is a strong =
supporter of the entire Constitution, including your Second Amendment =
rights. Anti-gun organizations have launched a national smear campaign =
to sabotage the Ashcroft nomination, that must be confirmed by the full =
U.S. Senate. It was once said that "You shall judge a man by his foes as =
well as by his friends," and this is certainly the case with Senator =
John Ashcroft. Handgun Control Inc., the "Million" Mom March, Violence =
Policy Center, and other radical anti-gun groups are actively targeting =
John Ashcroft for defeat because of his support for your constitutional =
freedoms.=20

      HCI President Mike Barnes went so far recently as to compare John =
Ashcroft's views on the Second Amendment to those of Oklahoma City =
terrorist Timothy McVeigh-a despicable slander of all law-abiding =
citizens who believe in the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. The shrillness =
of the anti-gun extremists is deafening, and is going to get worse-they =
will stop at nothing to defeat this nomination.=20

      The fact is that John Ashcroft is the most qualified candidate for =
Attorney General in America's history. In addition to his service in the =
U.S. Senate as chairman of the Constitution Subcommittee, John Ashcroft =
was a two-term Governor and a two-term Attorney General in Missouri. He =
is experienced, competent, honest, and principled-all of which will =
serve America well as the next U.S. Attorney General.=20

      During his service as Governor of Missouri, his fellow governors =
elected John Ashcroft to be their Chairman of the bipartisan National =
Governors Association. While serving as Attorney General in Missouri, =
his colleagues elected John Ashcroft to be their Chairman of the =
bipartisan National Association of Attorneys General. For more =
information about John Ashcroft, click on www.rnc.org/ashcroft.htm, or =
call NRA-ILA Grassroots at 800-392-8683. And throughout his career in =
public service, John Ashcroft has been a strong supporter of the U.S. =
Constitution, including your Second Amendment rights. Just as =
importantly, he has consistently fought to toughen penalties and enforce =
the law against violent criminals and drug dealers who misuse firearms.=20

      However, since anti-gun groups vehemently oppose John Ashcroft's =
positions on public policy issues, and desperately do not want him to =
serve as Attorney General, they will do whatever is necessary to stop =
his confirmation by the U.S. Senate. Americans will witness the raw =
"politics of personal destruction" against John Ashcroft every day until =
the Senate votes on his confirmation.=20

      It is critical that you call, write, fax, and e-mail your U.S. =
Senators today both in their D.C. and closest local offices and urge =
them to support and vote for confirmation of John Ashcroft as Attorney =
General. You can call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121. For those on =
the Internet, you can find additional contact information for your U.S. =
Senators by using the "Write Your Reps" tool at www.NRAILA.org. After =
the past eight years of an aggressive anti-gun administration, there is =
finally an opportunity to protect and restore your Second Amendment =
rights. President-elect Bush and Senator Ashcroft need your help today. =
PLEASE ACT NOW! The gun ban extremists will stop at nothing to destroy =
John Ashcroft's nomination for the critical post of U.S. Attorney =
General. The vote cast by your Senators may determine whether the =
nomination of John Ashcroft is confirmed by the U.S. Senate within the =
week. Please call your Senators today in support of the Ashcroft =
nomination!=20
