ANOTHER BUSH CABINET NOMINEE FACES ATTACK BY GORE SUPPORTERS
Last week, we told you about the attacks by gun-ban extremists on =
President-elect George W. Bush's nominee for Attorney General, former =
U.S. Senator John Ashcroft (R-Mo.). Now, Gale Norton, Bush's nominee for =
Secretary of the Interior, faces similar attacks. Throughout her career =
that includes two terms as Colorado's Attorney General, Norton has =
supported the interests of hunters and law-abiding firearm owners, and =
now is the time to come to her aid. She is under heavy fire by radical =
"environmentalist" groups-which have launched a series of attack ads in =
major media centers and in states where they feel senators are undecided =
on Norton-as well as other groups not known for being involved with =
environmental issues, such as the NAACP and the AFL-CIO. What does unite =
these groups is that most of them did everything they could last year to =
defeat President-elect Bush on November 7. Many look at the campaign to =
oppose Gale Norton's confirmation by the U.S. Senate as nothing more =
than another attack on Bush by supporters of Al Gore. Norton's =
nomination hearing before the Senate began Thursday, and a vote by the =
Senate will come in the near future.=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 Gale Norton as Secretary of the =
Interior. You can find contact information for your U.S. Senators by =
using the "Write Your Reps" tool at www.NRAILA.org, or by calling the =
NRA-ILA Grassroots Division at 800-392-8683.=20

In addition, please keep up the pressure on your U.S. Senators and urge =
them to support and vote for confirmation of John Ashcroft as U.S. =
Attorney General.=20


ANOTHER ANTI-HUNTING "SAAB"-STORY
In 1999, we reported that Saab Cars USA had entered into a relationship =
with the largest anti-hunting extremist organization in America-the =
Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Two years ago, Saab was =
promoting an HSUS anti-fur campaign, and the latest issue of Saab =
Magazine indicates the relationship is still strong, as it includes an =
ad promoting HSUS. But does Saab also support anti-gun extremism? In the =
same issue of the magazine is a story about Carl Frederick =
Reutersw=E4rd, the Swedish artist who designed Saab's new symbol. =
Reutersw=E4rd is probably best known for his sculpture of a revolver =
with its barrel tied into a knot (a photo of the artist with this =
sculpture is included in the magazine), a sculpture that is displayed in =
front of the UN headquarters. If you wish to contact Saab to express =
your objection to its working with anti-hunting extremists (especially =
if you are a hunter who owns a Saab), please write:=20
