Americans For Responsible Solutions Makes offer, Reneges (Giffords,Kelly anti-gun)
Gun Watch ^ | 10 September, 2014 | Dean Weingarten

Americans for Responsible Solutions Pac, the political fundraising group created to turn Gabby Giffords tragedy into a way to raise money and disarm Americans, made what I thought was a very reasonable offer.

I was alerted to the offer by a member of the Arizona Citizen Defense League (AZCDL).   In short, Mark Kelly's group says that they will send you their latest propaganda book for a donation of any amount.


I'll tell you more about the book itself in a second, but here's our offer.

Contribute ANY amount you think is fair to support our work at Americans for Responsible Solutions, and we'll send you a copy of our book before it's even in stores.

(snip)

We know that some people might contribute less than the book costs, and that's OK.

The suggestion from the email author was that a donation of 2 cents be made, as the book probably cost about 50 cents to print and a buck to deliver.

As shown in the screenshot above,  two cents was not accepted.   So much for the truthfulness of the "Any amount you think is fair" statement.  Another AZCDL member said that the lowest he could make it work was one dollar.  That would recoup most of the cost of printing and shipping... but that is not all.

As one of the officers of AZCDL warned:
ANY person who donates to these groups will also be counted as a member or supporter when they tell the media or Congress how much support they have. And, they WILL sell your information to other organizations and vendors.
They more than likely would make more than enough money to cover book printing and shipping by selling your information. In my offer.  I did not give them a telephone number, and the email address was one I could easily monitor for spam.

 I doubt that there is any useful information in this book.  I would not spend more than two cents for it.  I certainly thought that the two cent offer was fair, considering that they want to use the money to undermine my rights and the Constitution.

They seem incapable of an honest offer.

This will pass away unnoticed.
Anyone remember the book Published in 1968 titled THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS by Carl Bakal, released in 1971 paperback as NO RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS?

Same drivel 45 years ago.

I’d revise that to they seem incapable of honesty. It’s regrettable that these two otherwise honorable individuals have become anti-freedom shills.

Ah yes, I remember it well. Some 18 years ago, one library had it for sale for 50 cents as part of their “removed from the library’s collection” shelf. A pro-gun person bought it for (presumed) destruction.

For future reference, in dealing with such scoundrels, it is best to use parts of a computer generated false identity.

I am still getting spam addressed to a dog I had three dogs ago.

Importantly, you should keep a record of what fake identity you used with whatever scoundrel. This will allow you to track back who sold your stuff to spammers.

Personal data brokering is so widespread today that a person’s entire profile sells for less than a thousandth of a penny.

And since many of them require “instant email verification” to avoid such a ruse, there is “10 minute email”, a real on the fly email address that can receive and send email, that exists for only 10 minutes, unless you renew it.

Finally, be sure to delete any cookies they have given you.

Have you EVER encountered a Progressive that wasn’t an out and out flat out without any reservations liar?

So they are selling zero copies right now, right?

It will not matter if the t**d is expensive or cheap, it's still stinks.
