Concealed Carry Alert!

Concealed Carry Alert!

Our Friend Needs Us!

Senator Dave Zien, the Author and Spirit behind Wisconsin's Concealed Carry Movement, is
under attack for standing up for us. It is time we stand up for Dave!

Because of the massive grassroots, citizen effort Dave started, the right of law-abiding
citizens to defend themselves and their families will be a major issue in the coming
elections. Across the State, anti-gun, anti-self
defense legislators are being unmasked and held accountable by a motivated citizenry.

We have identified the enemies of our rights because Dave Zien refused to be silenced. He
refused to sit back and allow Majority Leader Chuck Chvala and Senate Democrats to end
the legislative session without acting on the Personal Protection Act.

But that isn't all Dave did for us. He exposed a secret attempt by the chosen candidate for
Governor of the liberal, Democratic elite to ban most guns and ammunition under the guise
of "Anti-Terrorism Legislation." He sounded the alarm on a provision buried in a 56-page bill
and single-handedly defeated Attorney General Jim Doyle's main priority.

Dave Zien has made some powerful enemies.

Now, they are targeting Dave for defeat.

Personal attacks have already been made on Dave by ultra-liberal opponents.

More attacks will come because Dave refuses to be silenced.

Dave stepped up when we needed him. Now, it's time for us to stand shoulder to shoulder
with Dave Zien.

We can't let Dave down.

I for one, refuse to let Dave down. I am sending a personal contribution to make sure Dave
Zien is around after these elections to finish the work he began.

How much of a commitment should we make to Dave? Well, since Dave stopped Jim Doyle's
secret gun ban, how about sending him the amount you spent on your last firearm? The
price of one firearm to defend your right to own the rest.

I looked into the law and any individual American can send Dave up to $1000. Not
everyone can afford that much, but every single dollar counts.

Dave Zien has been the force behind every gain citizens have made for self-defense and
Constitutional Rights in Wisconsin over the last decade.

Dave:

Wrote the Wisconsin Personal Protection Act in 1995 and has been the
main author and led the fight for passage ever since.
Wrote and passed Wisconsin's Right to Keep and Bear Arms Constitutional
Amendment. The first civil right added to Wisconsin's Constitution in
150-years says, "The people have the right to keep and bear arms for
security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose."
Led the fight for Wisconsin's Firearms Preemption Law that outlaws
local gun and ammunition bans and any other restriction stronger than that
of the state.
Authored Wisconsin's Range Protection Law that ensures firearms
opponents can't shut down shooting ranges.

Dave doesn't know I'm sending this around, so don't tell him. Let's surprise him with
contributions and thank you notes. I have sent this to everyone I know who wants to be
part of the fight for our rights. Please, send it on to friends who share your belief in the
rights of law-abiding citizens. We are all part of this.

I don't care what state you live in. We are all part of this struggle. A gain in any state helps
us all. And the loss of one of freedom's great defenders is a loss to us all.

They will try to make an example of Dave to put more timid legislators back into line. But
we can make an example of Dave by rallying around him and overcoming their powerful
interest groups with the dedication and
self-sacrifice of true Patriots.

We fight for the Right to Carry so we don't have to stand aside, helpless as crimes are
committed against the innocent. We are all armed with the dollars that will allow Dave to
get the word out and defend himself in the
coming campaign. Let's not stand aside while the anti-gunners commit a crime against
Dave.

Let's send Dave what we can afford, now. For the price of one gun, you can give Dave the
defense he needs.

I checked with the state Elections Board to find out how you can give money to Dave's
campaign. The rules are below.

-- Make checks payable to "Friends of Dave Zien" (corporate checks cannot be
accepted under WI State law)
-- Mail to Friends of Dave Zien, P.O. Box 114, Cadott, WI 54727"
-- Include your NAME, ADDRESS & PHONE NUMBER
-- For contributions over $100, state law requires you provide your
EMPLOYER, EMPLOYER ADDRESS, WORK PHONE, and OCCUPATION

The attacks have started and will only get worse. If we are going to pass the Personal
Protection Act in January, we need to help Dave win in this election. Let's keep Dave Zien
working for us.

Thanks,
Dick Baker
Treasurer, Wisconsin Concealed Carry Association
I found this on another board and thought it was a worthy cause..IMHO
