Dear Friend of the Second Amendment,

Great news for gun owners!

Pro-gun Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) handily beat back his opposition in Tuesday's Republican primary, winning with 62% of the vote.

Rep. DeLay's greatest challenge lies ahead, however, as he faces a former congressman in the November election.

His opponent, Nick Lampson, has already raised nearly $2 million, and you can be sure that anti-gun extremists will pour millions more into the race.

That is why gun owners from across the country must unite behind Tom DeLay, one of the staunchest defenders of the Second Amendment ever to serve in the United States Congress.

Tom has consistently demonstrated his personal commitment to protecting your gun rights.

A lunatic shot his way into DeLay's Majority Whip office in 1998, killing two police officers. Many Congressmen of both parties would have seized this opportunity to demagogue against your right to own firearms. Not Tom DeLay.

After the Columbine school shootings in 1999, Bill Clinton demanded Congress pass more gun control. Not Tom DeLay.

Tom DeLay worked with Gun Owners of America and its members to ensure that no new laws were passed to punish lawful gun owners because of the irresponsible actions of the two Columbine teenagers.

When the Clinton ban on semi-automatic firearms was due to sunset in 2004, the anti-gun lobby fought for its extension, as did the New York Times and the Washington Post. Not Tom DeLay. Rep. DeLay worked tirelessly -- even against other influential members of the House -- to guarantee that the gun ban would expire.

Much of Tom DeLay's critical pro-Second Amendment efforts take place behind the scenes, as he quietly ensures that Congress does not trample upon gun owners' rights.

On issues such as arming commercial airline pilots, protecting the gun industry from frivolous lawsuits, and protecting the First Amendment rights of groups like GOA, Rep. DeLay is tenacious in his support.

The Congressman's critical pro-Second Amendment efforts have made him the number one target of the enemies of the Second Amendment.

As a United States Congressman, he has unfailingly stood up for you and me. Now it is time for us to stand up for Tom DeLay.

I urge you to do all you can to support Tom's candidacy. Your contribution of $25, $50, $100 or the legal maximum of $2,100 will go completely and directly to Tom's reelection effort.

The liberal, anti-gun attack machine knows how effective Tom has been over the years, and will stop at nothing to see him defeated.

We must do all we can to ensure his success, because a victory for Tom DeLay is a victory for us all.

Sincerely,

Tim Macy
Vice-Chairman of the Board
Political Director
