A member on another forum came up with this idea. Every gun owner should send a simple postcard to their state and federal representatives reminding them what the 2nd Amendment really means and who they really work for.

Here is what one member came up with.

Seriously?

WTF is anybody over here doing other than bitching. Feinstien's bill WILL be introduced this month, if not next week....

This shit should be viral with EVERYONE on board.

We all took the original pictures and pasted into a word doc, 4 times per page. one side for front, the other for the back, then printed double-sided... You can see some ideas in the beginning of the thread....

Believe it or not, this works in SC. When some lame legislator introduces anti-gun legislation in the state legislature, there's a call to gun owners to make their presence known... it used to be GrassRoots GunRights South Carolina would send the post cards out to its membership to send to all legislators. Pre addressed, all that the membership needed to do was put stamps on them and mail them.

The legislators sat up and took notice when 25,000 brightly colored post cards arrived in their mail room and in boxes.

Maybe our representatives will take notice when several hundred thousand of these arrive in their inboxes?

Hey everyone, this was not my idea, but the postcard in the initial post was my design. I've since created several more designs, and I'm going to try to post them in a Microsoft word .doc or PDF format so that everyone can download, print, and mail their own. (Am I not allowed to include attachments to a post because I just registered?)  So far, the Colorado AR-15 forum members have printed several thousand postcards. Hundreds of them have been mailed, and hundreds more are just waiting on gun store counters for people to take home, write in the name and address of whomever they wish to send them to, and pay the $.35 to mail them.  

I sincerely hope that more people get on board with this idea. Now is the time, and I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for you.  

If you are in the Colorado Springs area, I will even print them off for you so all you have to do is mail them.

If there is a way I can make this easier, please let me know. With lots of anti-gun legislation about to hit the fan, we need to get maximum participation on things like this.  If you sit idle and watch it happen, it's your own darn fault.

Thanks NewRacer for posting the files. :)

Is the Thomas Jefferson quote real? I've found that around 75% of founding father quotes RE: guns are apocryphal, unfortunately.

I guess you could try uploading them to photbucket or some other image hosting site and link from there.
