Brady Center Thanksgiving Message and Money Plea
Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence ^ | November 21, 2001 | Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence

November 20, 2001

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the Brady Campaign and Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence United with the Million Mom March, I would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope that your Thanksgiving brings you a great deal of joy and happiness!

Our staff is extremely grateful to you for the swiftness with which you responded to Sarah Brady's financial needs request a couple of weeks ago.

As Sarah mentioned in her letter, a generous donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has issued a challenge to our members and supporters. For every dollar contributed, up to $200,000 in the next 30 days, a 50 percent match will be made. Thanks to our extremely kind donors, we have already raised more than $16,500 through our Web site in November alone!

But, our financial shortfall is still seriously jeopardizing our ability to reduce the threat of weapons being used against Americans here at home, smuggled abroad and resold at a profit to buy materials for mass destruction.

We cannot let the terrorists intimidate us, nor let the NRA and the gun industry win. If you have not yet made a recent contribution to the Brady Campaign, please consider making the most generous contribution possible.

Please click here right away and make your gift worth 50 percent more!

Without you, we would not have the resources and staff to create an America free from gun violence, where all are safe at home, at school, at work and in our communities. Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Michael D. Barnes
President

The Brady Center can't send out Thanksgiving wishes without begging for money and spreading lies about guns.

Thanks to our extremely kind donors, we have already raised more than $16,500 through our Web site in November alone!

The support for these gun grabbers is dwindling fast.

Dear Brady Center,

It is my fondest hope your financial shortfall will equal your brain shortfall.

Sincerely yours,

Someone must have drafted this in haste. They forgot to mention that the NRA is responsible for oppression of women in Afghanistan.

"Oh-fer-crying-out-loud, don't you know that 'BLOW' is just a figure-of-speech?"....FRegards

........and just exactly what did the Pilgrims use to bag turkey and other game for the feast? A rubber band and some heavy caliber paperclips?

Don't tell me you bought into that turkey nonsense. That whole "turkey thing" is a pre-urban legend. The pilgrims were really vegetarians. (Just ask someone from PETA.)

Send them a check for 50 cents. It will cost them a few dollars just to process it, thus using up some of that big 16K.

$16,500

16,500 in a month. That's 198,000 a year.

The NRA works with MILLIONS a year.

Osarah Brady Ladin is screwed.

She isn't screwed until we can force these anti-Gun PSAs off their air through freeper pressure or, at the very least, get the networks to run pro-Gun PSAs. These PSAs are seen far more often than pro-gun ads.

After Osara takes her salary there's not much left to operate with. Sad, pathetic. . . how nice!

Don't count them out just yet. Even with smaller numbers and dollars, the gun control groups still make lots of noise. (Thanks mostly to the liberal media and politicians in my opinion) Even with the Million Mom March being nothing more than a bastard child of the Brady Campaign, don't stop until they are gone. Kick them when they are down, and then kick them again! Write to your Senators, Reps., Governor, and President, etc. when an issue comes up and state you views on it.
