January 5th, 1999

Dear Friend of the Second Amendment:

Like you, I was delighted when Newt Gingrich announced his resignation, both as Speaker of the House and as Representative for Georgia's Sixth Congressional District.

Newt did a lot of damage to your gun rights:

1) Newt sank the pro-gun Smith amendment

2) Newt passed the Lautenberg gun ban

3) Newt passed the anti-gun "Terror" bill

4) and the list goes on and on.

Now you and I have a chance to elect a true pro-gun member of Congress in Newt's place.

Dr. Christina Jeffrey (a professor at Kennesaw State University in Georgia) has recently announced her candidacy for this seat.

CHRISTINA JEFFREY IS MORE THAN JUST A PRO-GUN LADY -- SHE'S A GUN RIGHTS ACTIVIST LIKE YOU AND ME.

THE OTHER CONTENDER IS A PROVEN ANTI-GUNNER AND A PROVEN LOSER: former Georgia State Senator Johnny Isakson (R-Marietta). He's already lost twice in two attempts to step up to higher office.

The bottom line is Christina Jeffrey's campaign needs to raise $150,000 immediately.

The election will most likely be held sometime in February -- just 6 weeks away. The election will be over before you know it.

So please, send the most generous contribution you can: $1,000, $500, $250, $100 or whatever you can afford to:

"CHRISTINA JEFFREY FOR CONGRESS"

Christina Jeffrey's opponent is a multi-millionaire with a long anti-gun history.

As State Senator, Johnny Isakson co-authored the Handgun Control, Inc. version of the so-called Georgia "Brady Registration" bill. In 1993, Mr. Isakson got it passed through the Georgia Senate. But gun rights activists in Georgia managed to kill it later in the Georgia House of Representatives. Unfortunately in 1995, the so-called "Brady Registration" passed into law in Georgia.

Johnny Isakson also pushed to let cities and counties all over the state impose 3-day waiting periods. When that didn't fly, he voted to let local governments impose gun control on their own citizens or people driving through.

Fortunately, local gun control didn't pass either.

The bottom line is: As bad as things are now, if Johnny Isakson had his way, they'd be much worse. Now, Johnny Isakson wants to move up to the U.S. Congress.

As you know, anti-gunners got a big boost in the 1998 elections -- thanks largely to Newt Gingrich's contempt for pro-gun voters who had put Republicans in control of Congress back in 1994.

That's why it's vital that you join me to help stop anti-gun Johnny Isakson from being elected to Congress. Mr. Isakson must be stopped now, or he may forever be a knife in our back.

You see, Georgia's Sixth Congressional District is overwhelmingly Republican. The Democrats have never been able to win there. That's why this time the Democrats are running their man as a Republican.

Johnny Isakson has been endorsed by the Georgia Democrats' party leader: Governor Zell Miller, a close friend of Bill Clinton. Other bosses are lining up behind the Governor. And liberal fat cats are pouring money into Mr. Isakson's war chest in an attempt to buy the election.

But they've got one big problem: they don't know who they're up against.

I know Christina Jeffrey, and let me tell you: she's a rare breed.

Christina was born in 1947 at Fort Bliss, Texas, the daughter of a career United States Army officer. Eldest of eight children, she excelled at everything she did, from her classwork to being a champion swimmer.

Christina won numerous scholarships, married in college, yet still managed to achieve the near impossible feat of getting her Ph.D. while working and raising four children.

Christina began her academic career as Assistant Professor at Troy State University and she's been moving up ever since. She's been twice elected President of the American Society of Public Administration Georgia Chapter.

Christina's one of the top experts in her field -- which is management of government.

CHRISTINA CAN MAKE BUREAUCRATS SWEAT BULLETS.

The liberals in Washington are nervous at the very thought of seeing the full power of the Office of a Congressman in the hands of somebody like Dr. Jeffrey.

I've met with her on a number of occasions recently. She radiates graciousness and charm.

One thing that's consistently surprised me about Christina Jeffrey is how tough she is: No matter what's put in her way, she jumps the hurdle and keeps on fighting.

I think the word that best describes Christina Jeffrey is "formidable."

IN SHORT, MY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN WASHINGTON HAVE CONVINCED ME THAT WHAT WE HAVE IN CHRISTINA JEFFREY IS THE ANTI-GUNNERS' WORST NIGHTMARE: A HARDLINE FEMALE PRO-GUN CHAMPION.

You and I've got a rare opportunity to take a wide-open Congressional seat in a conservative district. And we're facing a hack politician: a Democrat in Republican drag.

Meanwhile, wherever she goes in the district, Christina is surrounded by excited voters who sense something is happening. Women and young people love her; the only thing I know to compare it with is the Jesse Ventura phenomenon that swept Minnesota this fall.

This race is ours to win.

That's why I've helped Christina retain two of the best professionals in the field to organize her campaign and manage the scores of enthusiastic volunteers who are turning out to work for her. Her team has prepared a winning plan to defeat Johnny Isakson: a grass-roots program that takes the message straight to the people.

We can't be stopped, no matter how much money Mr. Isakson squanders on TV.

But unlike in Minnesota, where the state had to pay $300,000 in public funding to Jesse Ventura's campaign, this time the government won't be giving her a dime. And you know Christina's teacher's salary won't be enough to do the job.

HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP:

As I said, this is a rare opportunity to capture a great prize: an open congressional seat. You and I can help win it if we raise money for the Christina Jeffrey campaign.

The Christina Jeffrey campaign needs to raise $150,000 immediately.

That's why I'm asking you to make a rare gift, more than you'd ordinarily give. This is because of the great benefits you and I will reap when Dr. Jeffrey defeats anti-gun Johnny Isakson and goes to Washington as a constitutional leader and a champion for gun owners.

Please send the most generous contribution you can: $100, $250, $500, or whatever you can afford.

Remember the maximum legal limit for direct campaign donations is $1,000 per person. For example a husband and wife can give $1,000 each for a total of $2,000.

Please make your check or money order payable to: "CHRISTINA JEFFREY FOR CONGRESS"

Mail your check or money order right away to:

CHRISTINA JEFFREY FOR CONGRESS
P.O. BOX 1445
KENNESAW, GA 30144

Please write somewhere on your check or money order the word "GOA" so Christina will know exactly where her support is coming from.

Also, if you give $200 or more, please write in the memo area of your check your occupation and employer. As you know, for disclosure purposes, election laws require campaigns to report that information.

I hope you will give as much as you can. I also hope you will mail your contribution today.

The election will most likely be held sometime in February -- just 6 weeks away. Newt has said he'll resign effective January 3rd, and the election is expected 30+ days after that.

Christina needs to hear from you right away so she can plan effectively. Please respond, there is no time to lose.

Yours for the Second Amendment,

Larry Pratt
