Sisters Oppose Anti-Rights Fundraiser at French Embassy
LAKEWAY, TX -- It's billed as a birthday celebration for famed columnist
Art Buchwald, but this party's main purpose is to raise funds for an
organization determined to deprive Americans of their basic human right
of self-defense - with the French Embassy providing the venue for the
occasion.
"This isn't about having a fundraiser. Everyone has them," said Deb
Altrath, Co-Founder and President of Second Amendment Sisters. "This is
about the French Embassy hosting a fundraiser for a group that will use
those funds to deprive American citizens of their constitutional
rights."
"If this were for AIDS research or cancer research, that would be
different. But it's not. The French Embassy is aiding and abetting the
destruction of the United States Constitution by hosting this event for
the Brady Campaign," added Mari Thompson, another of SAS's Co-Founders.
The Sisters have drafted a letter of protest to the French Ambassador,
and are urging others to do the same. The letter is available for
viewing at SAS's website, www.2asisters.org.
Second Amendment Sisters is a women's advocacy group dedicated to
preserving the basic human right of self-defense.

http://www.2asisters.org/press/051207_french embassy letter.htm
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Send or fax your own letter to the French Embassy. Let them know you’re

rights! Here’s the address and fax number:
Ambassador Jean-David Levitte
Embassy of France
4101 Reservoir Road NW
Washington, DC 20007
FAX # 202-944-6047
And here’s a sample letter you can send. Please, make the effort to send
a hard-copy letter or fax; it will make a much bigger impact than email!
THANKS!

Mr. Ambassador:
I am a supporter of the nearly 100 million gun owners in the United
States who oppose your collaboration with the Brady Campaign and its
efforts to undermine the rights of American citizens.
The Brady Campaign uses its funds to lobby for legislation that places
severe restrictions on gun ownership in the United States. Studies have
shown that gun control only serves to increase the rates of violent
crime because criminals will not obey these laws; the restrictions that
the Brady Campaign calls for only effect those who choose to obey them.
Law-abiding citizens such as myself will therefore be at the mercy of
those to whom laws means nothing.
I hereby ask that you withdraw your support for the Brady Campaign’s
fundraising effort.
Sincerely,
(add your name here)
