READ THIS LEGISLATIVE ALERT! Arm Our Pilots!
April 5th, 2002 | Ignatius Piazza, Front Sight Founder and Director

Posted on 04/07/2002 6:06:38 PM PDT by 2nd_Amendment_Defender

Dear Front Sight Friends and Students:

Please assist the Airline Pilots Security Alliance by making the telephone calls and sending the e-mails requested below. It will only take you a second to do so, and your efforts will make a big difference.

Front Sight is doing its part as well. We continue to fund a Washington DC lobbyist that is working directly with numerous organizations and legislators to continue the positive push to arm our pilots.

ACTION ALERT!

Immediate Action Required! Pass This Alert Along To Everyone You Know!

The April 5, 2002 edition of USA Today reports that President Bush is opposed to arming pilots sighting an anonymous White House official as their source. We suspect, based upon White House people willing to go "on the record" that this report might be false, but just the same the White House needs to hear from us RIGHT NOW! We need to tell them that we hope the President is in favor of arming pilots and we need to urge him to move quickly on this before we face another terrorist attack on our airliners!

THIS IS A MATTER OF HIGHEST URGENCY. DON'T LEAVE THEM WITH THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT WE DON'T CARE! RIGHT NOW, TODAY, CALL THE WHITE HOUSE OPINION LINE AND TELL PRESIDENT BUSH YOU WANT AIRLINE PILOTS ARMED WITH FIREARMS, AND THAT ALL PILOTS AT ALL AIRLINES MUST BE ELIGIBLE TO VOLUNTEER TO BE ARMED AND DEPUTIZED.

WHITE HOUSE PHONE LINE: 202-456-1111

THEN FOLLOW THAT PHONE CALL UP WITH AN EMAIL AND/OR FAX.

WHITE HOUSE EMAIL: president@whitehouse.gov

WHITE HOUSE FAX: 202/456-2461

The White House has been hearing from us, let's make sure that they continue to do so. Pass this APSA Alert along to everybody in your address book and make the call/send the note to our President.

We are making a difference; thank you for your relentless support!

This is the letter I wrote to President Bush:

President George Bush:

I writing to you to voice my opinion about arming our pilots. I fully support putting pilots in the cockpit that are trained to use handguns effectively. Arming our pilots will enable them to defend the cockpit against enemies and terrorists of United States Citizens. Let the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms be used to defend our nation.

Please use your executive power to make the United States safer from Terrorist attacks.

...and as my buddy just said, lurking over my shoulder, just what do you assume pilots are carrying in the cockpit now?
Seen any hijackings lately?
