I did a search and didn't find anything about this on the AK board, so here goes:

Some of the folks at The Firing Line have been trying to get money together to run a full page ad in USA today, stating in no uncertain terms how WE (that's YOU and ME) feel about gun control. The primary target is apathetic gun-owning Americans who need to start paying attention to the erosion of our rights.

It's called the Firearm Owners Unification Project, or FOUP (http://www.thefiringline.com/unite/index.html). It's kind of a latter-day Declaration of Independance for gun owners (I wish I had posted this before the holiday weekend, but I thought someone else had already put it here.)

We're in deep on this one and need a strong show of support RIGHT NOW if we're going to keep this thing going. Also, the text of the ad has already been decided, and will not be changed. Just Show Your Support!!!

To check out the ad click the link above.

To learn more about the development of this project, go to www.thefiringline.com (http://www.thefiringline.com) and perform a search for FOUP.

If you care about your rights, this is the least you can do!

We did a simular thing in my area with the local paper.Our full page ad contained our message,quotes from the founding fathers,and was signed by all of the people who contributed to the effort.This included several high ranking law enforcement officials,doctors,and prominent business men.We knew it was effective due to the uproar it caused among the opposition.I will do whatever i can to help.Thanks for your post.
