Our time is NOW!
If you’ve been reading our emails for the last few weeks you know that Constitutional Carry legislation is SURGING forward in the Minnesota legislature.
No sooner had the 2017 session kicked off when 100% pro-gun Representative Cal Bahr introduced Minnesota Gun Rights’ Constitutional Carry bill, HF309, in the House!
Since then, members of the Minnesota House have been bombarded by phone calls, emails and Facebook message from you and thousands of other gun owners from across the state.
Your message: Stand up for gun owners and co-sponsor HF309, Constitutional Carry!
And because of your activism, over a dozen representatives have signed on as co-sponsors!
And just last week, Senator Paul Utke (R-02) introduced the companion bill in the Senate, SF649!
Site, now is the time for us to ramp up the pressure in St Paul.
No legislation that returns freedom to you and me ever moves easily, that I can tell you.
Anti-gunners like Senator Ron Latz and Dan Schoen are fighting tooth and nail to stop us and the liberal media is losing their minds over these pro-gun bills!
Worse, weak kneed pro-gun legislators are already considering going back on their campaign promises to co-sponsor this vital legislation.
We need to make sure now, more than ever, legislators in St Paul are getting the message: we gave you the majority to pass REAL pro-gun legislation!
But we can’t do it without your help.
As I type this, we’re ramping up a massive, “no holds barred” program to push this issue.
We’re using targeted direct mail, focused social media, mass email deployments, house-to-house mobilization and even radio ads when we can afford them.
You’ve seen just how devastatingly effective this mobilization program was during the 2016 elections.
This is exactly the kind of program we need to run now.
As you can see, Minnesota Gun Rights takes our role in advancing pro-gun legislation extremely seriously.
This program doesn’t just happen, it’s the result of careful planning and preparation that begins well before the legislative session kicks off.
We do it because we love it and because our gun rights deserve to be more than just defended, they deserve to be ADVANCED.
And right NOW is our best chance to do that!
But we need to move quick.
The first committee deadline is less than a month away.
That means either House File 309, Constitutional Carry, or its Senate companion bill, Senate File 649, need to be passed out of their committee of origin to give us the best chance of passage.
That’s why I need your help IMMEDIATELY to fund this massive program.
Direct mail, even in mass quantities with price breaks, adds up fast at approximately $.45 per piece mailed!
Email blasts, when you’re sending them to tens of thousands of gun owners at a time, aren’t free like your personal email.
And mobilizing gun owners with radio ads from all corners of Minnesota adds up in a hurry!
But this is how we get our freedoms back!
This is how we make sure that legislators in St Paul feel the pressure and get the message: we gave you the majority so that you would restore Second Amendment rights lost!
Other groups talk big about passing pro-gun legislation, but have no follow-through whatsoever when the legislature gavels in.
That’s worse than doing nothing, because gun-grabbers and weak-kneed pro-gunners quickly learn that these folks are full of hot air and nothing else.
So help us FIGHT for Constitutional Carry legislation and see our freedoms restored!
For others, I know that $100 to $250, while certainly an amount you’ll feel, is within your means.
But I know that for some, making a donation of $10-$25 means you’ll have to make a cut in your personal budget in another category.
Whatever you can do – now is the time!
Again, I don’t know what you can afford.
What I know is that we can’t afford to let these new majorities falter and go back on their promises to pass REAL and substantive pro-gun legislation.
So please, whatever you can do, please donate immediately to help us fund this critical program!
Thank you, in advance, for standing with us in the fight to advance the 2nd Amendment here in Minnesota!
For Freedom,
Benjamin Dorr
Political Director
Minnesota Gun Rights
P.S. Constitutional Carry has been introduced in both the House (HF309) and the Senate (SF649), and now is our time to push – HARD!
The first committee deadline is less than a month away and we need to get these bills moving.
Minnesota Gun Rights is planning to roll out a massive issue advocacy program, mobilizing tens of THOUSANDS of gun owners across the state to pour pressure into the Capitol, calling on the legislature to PASS Constitutional Carry.
We’re using focused direct mail, targeted social media, mass email deployments (like this one), and even radio ads if we can raise the funds.
But I need your help – and I need it right away!
Gun owners stormed the polls in 2016 giving the boot to the anti-gun majority in the Minnesota Senate, putting a professed pro-second amendment majority in BOTH houses of the Minnesota legislature.
Now is the time for those legislators to make good on their campaign promises and pass REAL pro-gun legislation like Constitutional Carry and Stand-Your-Ground law.
Anti-gunners are trying to stall us, liberal media is in a frenzy attacking gun owners and already weak-kneed pro-gun legislators are being pressured to back out.
We can’t let that happen!
We have the targets, we have the tools, and we have the track record to show that this program is devastatingly effective – but we need the resources to implement it.
