1. All is Not Hopeless!
    The record gun and ammo sales statistics since the election and the
chatter on the various internet forums I monitor tell me that people are
worried and want to take some action, but there doesn't appear to be
much that they can do except prepare for the worst.  Even though the
political landscape has shifted dramatically and the politicians are
making stupid moves which are going to do more long-term harm to our
economy and do threaten our future, the good news is that the worst is
yet to come.  If we can see ti coming, we can take action to prevent
it.  There are things that you can be doing right now to ensure a
brighter future.  Preparing for the worst is prudent, but it is not
prudent to sit in the boat waiting for the flood when you could be busy
reinforcing the levy to avoid the flood altogether.
    The Brady Bunch and their pals are doing their best to convince the
politicians and the public that "the gun lobby is dead."  The most
important thing we can do right now is let the politicians and the rest
of the nation know that the news of our demise has been greatly
exaggerated.  Just because there was no candidate for President that
GunVoters could rally to doesn't mean that Americans no longer care
about our rights.  We need to let Washington know that in no uncertain
terms.  How do we do that?  Read on.

2. Oppose Confirmation of Eric Holder to Attorney General!
    The best way to prove we're not dead is to take on a fight in
Congress and win - or at least make a good showing.  The fight that is
currently available - and it is a fight worth fighting - is the
nomination of Eric Holder to the position of Attorney General.  Holder
is a radical opponent of the Second Amendment and should be rejected for
the incredibly powerful office of the AG. 
    The Firearms Coalition is calling on all supporters of the Second
Amendment to declare teir opposition to, and actively oppose Holder's
confirmation.  Clubs and grassroots organizations are being invited to
sign on to a letter of opposition to Holder as a first step. 
    Learn more about Holder and efforts to block his confirmation at
www.FirearmsCoalition.org.

3. Celebrate Bill of Rights Day - Support the Second Amendment Book Bomb!
    Gun buyers have been sending a message with the record purchases of
guns and ammunition since the election, now we have the opportunity to
expand on that message by pushing Steve Halbrook's new book, "*/The
Founders’ Second Amendment: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms"/* to the
top of the best sellers lists.  It is important that activists be well
versed in the fundamentals of the Second Amendment and Steve's new book
is a great way to establish a firm foundation. 
    The concept of a "Book Bomb" is to spread the word among supporters
who are likely to want to purchase the book to all make their purchases
at about the same time.  This sales spike pushes the book to the tops of
the charts where it is seen by a wider audience perpetuating more sales
and maintaining the book high on the best seller lists.
    To learn more about this effort, go to
http://www.secondamendmentbook.com and be sure to read about the related
special offer from The Firearms Coalition below.

4. Help the Firearms Coalition by Educating Yourself and Others.
    Since "Knowledge is Power," The Firearms Coalition wants to help all
of our friends become as knowledgeable and powerful as possible.  That's
why we are offering two great books and one great video DVD as premiums
for donations to our efforts.  We are doing our part to support the
"Book Bomb" program described above by purchasing a number of copies of
Steve Halbrook's book, */"The Founders’ Second Amendment: Origins of the
Right to Bear Arms" /*and offering them to our supporters.  We are also
offering copies of David Hardy's excellent documentary film, */“In
Search of the Second Amendment”/* and the comprehensive book, /*"The
Heller Case; Gun Rights Affirmed"*/ by Alan Korwin and Dave Kopel.
    Contributors of $50 or more may select any one of these great titles
and for a contribution of $100 or more, we'll send you all three.  And
as an added bonus, if you are not a current subscriber to our bi-monthly
newsletter, we'll throw in a year's subscription for free.
    Of course you can acquire these great resources for less money
elsewhere, but by getting them from The Firearms Coalition you are also
helping to support our efforts to protect your rights.

more to:
