Dear gun rights supporter,
I'm writing you, personally, on an important and urgent matter.
A REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL SEAT NEAR GOA'S NATIONAL OFFICES HAS
SUDDENLY COME OPEN AND ONE OF MY TOP AIDES IS RUNNING TO FILL THE
SEAT.
I'm writing you this personal note to ask you to do what I rarely
ask of you. Please dig deep and give generously to Mike Rothfeld, a
pro-gun champion running for Congress.
Many of you already know Mike Rothfeld as GOA's chief strategist for
State Legislation -- and have heard his lectures around the country
on the Real Nature of Politics and Politicians.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS: MIKE ROTHFELD IS WELL POSITIONED TO WIN THIS
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY AND THEREFORE THIS SAFE REPUBLICAN SEAT *IF* YOU
AND I STAND BY HIM.
I've personally sent Mike a substantial contribution and Gun Owners
of America Political Victory Fund will go all out for Mike too.
I HOPE YOU, TOO, WILL MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTION TO MIKE
ROTHFELD FOR CONGRESS; the legal limit is $1000 per person ($2000
per couple). Whether you can afford this much -- or if for you a
gift of $100, $500 or even $25 or $50 is a sacrifice -- please send
Mike Rothfeld what you can right away.
You and I and millions of law-abiding gun owners face a frontal
assault from Washington, D.C. on our Constitutional Right to Keep
and Bear Arms.
Rather than wait passively for the gun grabbers next assault on our
rights, I hope you agree it's time to go on the offensive!
I say it's time to teach the politicians a lesson.
Then you and I can start to roll back the anti-gun laws that have
inflicted so much damage to the Second Amendment -- and our
individual liberty.
That's why the news about Mike running for Congress is so great!
Mike Rothfeld is just the type of cure the gutless Republican
Congressional leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives need.
In fact, if Mike Rothfeld wins his election, mushy moderates will
probably start looking for cover. Mike is a new breed of Gun Rights
Activist -- he's smart and tough as nails.
I've known Mike Rothfeld for a decade and I can tell you he will go
to Washington to fight to defend our Second Amendment rights and
pressure politicians to do what they don't want to do -- vote
pro-gun every time.
And I know Mike will stand in the breach on behalf of law abiding
citizens who yearn for a government that respects our God-given
right to defend our homes and families.
AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, MIKE HAS THE SCARS FROM POLITICAL BATTLES
OTHERS WERE TO TIMID TO FIGHT.
Many of you have seen Mike Rothfeld's successful strategy unfold in
state fight after state fight -- where we were able to stave off
attacks from gun grabbers all over the country.
I hope you agree with me that it's critical to elect leaders like
Mike Rothfeld who will stand up strongly for our gun rights.
If you and I join together today to help Mike Rothfeld, I promise
you that he'll be a Congressman you and I can be proud of... and
he'll be a pro-gun leader in Washington.
And that is why I am asking you to help Mike Rothfeld today.
Mike is running for the Republican nomination in Virginia's 1st
District Congressional seat being vacated by retiring Republican
Congressman Herb Bateman.
Already, four Republicans have announced their candidacy for the
June 13th primary.
THE DISTRICT IS OVERWHELMINGLY REPUBLICAN. THE DEMOCRATS HAVEN'T
BEEN ABLE TO WIN THERE IN OVER TWO DECADES.
So whoever wins the GOP nomination will be the next Congressman.
One of Mike's opponents is a liberal, multi-millionaire who has
already boasted that he'll spend over $500,000 out of his own
pocket. In fact, he's already running radio ads and will be up with
TV ads any day now. However, this guy just moved to the district a
year ago and even the moderate Republicans don't like him.
The race is WIDE OPEN and the June 13th primary is near. Now is the
time to act.
Mike has already raised nearly $50,000, but that's not enough. The
bottom line is Mike Rothfeld's campaign plan calls for him to raise
another $50,000 in the next 10-14 days.
Mike Rothfeld is not a wealthy man. Mike supports his wife and four
children while dedicating his life to defending the conservative
constitutional rights you and I hold dear.
That's why I hope you will join me on Mike Rothfeld's team today.
And that you'll agree to send Mike your most generous contribution
of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50, $25 or whatever you can afford to:
"Mike Rothfeld for Congress"
P.O. Box 5421
Fredericksburg, VA 22403
For the years that I've known Mike, he's been someone with
unwavering principle... and he's used his God-given talents to help
advance your 2nd Amendment Rights.
Mike Rothfeld has been working for Gun Owners of America since 1994.
This is our chance to elect a friend of the pro-gun movement to
Congress who will not only stand up and defend our Second Amendment
rights but protect ALL our freedoms under the Constitution.
PLEASE JOIN ME ON MIKE ROTHFELD'S TEAM BY AGREEING TO TAKE THE
FOLLOWING 2 ACTIONS TODAY.
First, help Mike raise $50,000 in the next 10-14 days by giving as
much as you can to his campaign.
If you can, please contribute the maximum amount of $1000 per
person. (A husband and wife can give $1000 each for a total of
$2,000.)
If you can't contribute the full $1000 (and I realize that's a real
stretch for most folks), please mail your most generous contribution
of $500, $250, $100, $50, $25 or whatever you can afford to:
Mike Rothfeld for Congress
P.O. Box 5421
Fredericksburg, VA 22403
(Sorry federal law says that your freedom of speech cannot be
financed with a company check, so please send a personal check.)
Second, please PRINT AND FILL OUT the attached Reply Form and mail
it -- along with your check -- to Mike's campaign.
We must let him know that gun rights supporters are fully behind
him. Printing and filling out the attached Reply Form lets him
know.
If you can't print out the Reply Form then please, write somewhere
on your check or money order the word "GOA" so Mike will know
exactly where his support is coming from.
(And if you give $200 or more, election laws require campaigns to
ask for your occupation and employer, so please also write that in
the memo area of your check.)
I hope you will contribute as much as you can to Mike's campaign.
And I hope you'll mail your check today.
PLEASE DON'T DELAY IN SENDING YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO "MIKE ROTHFELD
FOR CONGRESS".
Yours for the Second Amendment,
Larry Pratt
