Ladies and Gentlemen:

Many of you have supported COA financially, and we hope you continue to do so--it takes continual funding for
COA to function, and we cannot let up UNTIL WE WIN. Our position at COA is that we intend to win, we
intend to get ALL our rights back--whatever it takes.

In addition to contributing, there is another way to help us in this fight--by spreading the word about us. We're
still new on the scene and there are many who don't know about us.

So we would appreciate your taking a moment to send the email below to everyone you think might be interested
in supporting our pro-firearm media campaign.

Simply cut and paste the message below, and add a personal note at the top if you wish.
Thank you.

Brian Puckett
President, Citizens Of America www.citizensofamerica.org

COA is running a national PRO-FIREARM
media campaign. We need your support!



********MESSAGE**********

We've been inundated the last few years by a flood of ANTI-FIREARM PROPAGANDA issuing from the news
media and from our own government. The news media are extremely biased against firearms owners. Need
evidence? Then go to this site when you're through reading this message: http://www.keepandbeararms.org/media_bias.htm .

This propaganda has been extremely effective in turning the public against firearms and firearm owners.
But there is a way to fight this flood of lies, distortions, and hysteria--by fighting "fire" with a "fire exinguisher"--the
TRUTH.

Citizens Of America's sole purpose is to turn the public AGAINST illegal, immoral gun control. How? By using
the same tool our enemies use against us--the mass communications media. COA is using the radio, print, and
television medai to get out pro-firearm messages that strike the public's EMOTIONS and appeal to people's
SELF-INTEREST.

What do we mean by that? Go to our homepage at www.citizensofamerica.org and click the HEAR RADIO
ADS button, or click the PRINT ADS button.

Where have the radio ads been heard? Click the "STATIONS Where Ads Have Run" button. These ads
are airing across the country right now, working for us all.

What can you do to help? You can contribute to COA of course, and you can get involved in collecting funds to
run the ads in the city of your choice. Click the "YOU CAN Run COA Ads in Your Area" button.

And finally, you can FORWARD THIS MESSAGE to everyone who might find it of interest.
Simply cut and paste the message above (including this last paragraph), add a personal note at the top if you
wish, and send it on.

Thank you for your support--

Citizens Of America
 
I think COA has a great idea, but - and it's only my opinion - I found their ads to be a little cheesy.

I did like the 911 ad and the "sisters" ad, and the senator ad was O.K., but the others didn't really inspire me. I would like to hear more facts in the ads, and possibly some stabs at the skewed anti-gun statistics that I keep hearing. Maybe a little about the higher crime rates in cities and countries that have strict gun control.

I do support them. Maybe I'll submit a few scripts with my next check and see if they approve.
