Dear Friend of the Second Amendment,
Gun Owners of America has a tremendous friend in recently-elected Rep. PaulBroun (GA-10), a long-time Life Member of GOA. He has only been in office a few months, having been elected to fill thevacancy in his district when Rep. Charlie Norwood died last year of cancer.The establishment fought tooth and nail to defeat Broun, but he amazed mostpolitical observers with a dramatic come-from-behind victory.
The establishment is not finished with him yet, and they are outspending himin the July 15 primary by nearly nine to one. In the short time Dr. Broun has been in the U.S. House of Representatives,he has taken the leadership on the gun issue as he said he would. Indeed,he has been an activist who lobbied the Georgia legislature for years as a private citizen.
Broun has introduced a measure (H.R. 5646) to lock in the regulations that the Bush administration has finally promulgated (after almost eight years ofstalling) regarding carrying guns in national parks. Broun's bill would make permanent the new policy that says that people can carry guns in national parks according to the laws of the states in which the park islocated. H.R. 5646 would also require the Interior Department to factor in hunting when planning for the use of federal lands.
And at this very moment, Broun is putting the final touches on a billdesigned to rein in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.The Bureau has been on a jihad against firearms dealers and has greatlyreduced the number of dealers. Dealers are forced to defend themselves in BATFE "courts" which almostalways rule against them. Broun would require that license revocations only be done after FIRST going to a federal court.
You know this must be a good idea because the acting director of the Bureau, anti-gunner Michael Sullivan, opposes the idea.
Broun is quite a sportsman in his own right as readers of our newsletter,The Gun Owners, saw in the most recent issue. His congressional office isloaded with some of his mounted trophies.
Broun has shown that contributions from members like you -- as well as fromthe Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund -- have proven to be a great political investment. But we could loose this dynamic leader if we don't help him dig in and establish his incumbency. The business-as-usual Republican establishmenthas led the party to the brink of disaster. They still don't get it.
It is up to you and me to show the Republican establishment that men like Broun are what is needed in Washington, DC. Left-wing politicians are always scheming to infringe on the gun rights and hunting rights of sportsmen and law-abiding citizens. Congressman Broun has promised to zealously guard against every attempt by the liberals to limitour rights, our ability to defend ourselves and families, and our right tohunt.
