Just found out that my brother, Uncle and cousins' printing business is the ones who print all of the anti-gun lobby stuff for the BRADY campaign.They hunt and fish and hate them, but still work for them! They see it as paying the bills, I see it as traitor-ism. I could not work for some-one or thing I hated or did not agree with. That is like making/selling crack pipes but being against drugs!Would you do this kind of work?

    I got home from work today and had an email from www.stopthenra.com . Evidently these people have know idea who I am or that I enjoy my so called ILLEGAL ASSAULT WEAPONS very much. I think we should all take some time and let them know who we are. I copied the e-mail they sent me for you all to read.

    Dear friend,



    We've stopped smiling after our victory defeating the NRA's insane bill that would have given legal immunity to the gun industry.



    We've stopped smiling because there are only 55 legislative days left for Congress to renew the ban on assault weapons. When the ban expires, illegal AK-47s, Uzis and other illegal assault weapons will be legalized and back on our streets. Ten years of progress will be wiped out. President Bush is running around the country telling everyone that we must renew the Patriot Act. But he is silent on the renewal of the assault weapons ban. He is supporting the NRA over our children -- it's that simple. It's special-interest politics at its worst.



    In Illinois just the other day, police arrested a man who had an AK-47 assault rifle, more than 1,300 rounds of ammunition, pipe bomb making components, and a book called Guns, Freedom and Terrorism by National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre. Apparently the man had plans for a killing spree of government officials and politicians. Do we have to wait for another Columbine to come to our senses?



    We must send Bush/Cheney a message. Sign the petition at www.stopthenra.com.



    Do you care? If you do, it's time to help now.



    Momentum is building. Next week Police Chiefs all over the country will be holding press conferences demanding the ban be renewed. The Reverend Jesse Jackson has taken up the cause and is traveling around the country speaking out. The New York Times has editorialized for the renewal, along with many other newspapers around the country. We are being successful -- but we need your help.



    1. Forward this e-mail to everyone you know and ask them to sign the petition. We need one million signatures. We now have over 225,000 but we need one million to send it to Bush. Click here.



    2. Help us advertise. We have begun our print ads but we need $1 million to spread the word. Click here.



    3. Come to Washington, D.C. on Mothers' Day, May 9th, and vote with your presence to stop the NRA and renew the assault weapons ban. Click here.



    An Al Qaeda training manual that was found in Afghanistan said the following:



    "In countries like the United States it's perfectly legal for members of the public to own certain types of firearms. If you live in such a country attain an assault rifle legally, preferably an AK-47 or variations."



    Show Bush/Cheney they don't have a choice. Sign our petition. Forward to a friend.

    Can't you talk them into making a few "mistakes" or something.
    If you run, you'll just die tired!

    Well, I hate unions and I have a big problem with people who "milk the system". Yet, I am employed as a consultant by a firm that has an overabundance of both. As I see it, my family comes first. If I had an opportunity to go somewhere else and earn the same amount, I would. But, since I don't, I'll just keep my mouth shut (while thinking about how much I hate the environment I'm in). You have to be able to make a living in order to support your cause. Your uncle and family wouldn't be any better off by NOT printing that stuff and the Brady people could just use some other printer.

    I catch criticism in my field, too. When asked why I do what I do, my usual reply is "if I didn't have this job, someone else would". I think this applies here. The world is still going to go around and around no matter what our beliefs. Often times, these jobs pay higher than they should be because it's not glamorous. The only difference in my case is I believe fully in the products and principles of my company. Just my opinion.

    Would it be better somehow if a printing company that agreed with the Brady folks made the money? IF this is a moral compromise, it is a very small one. Your idealism here is commendable, but a bit over enthusiastic.
