CITIZENS OF AMERICA -- SPECIAL ITEMS and UPDATE

March 4, 2000
This our longest update, but we think it will be worth your
time to read it all the way through—especially if your
considering buying a concealed carry holster! Check
SPECIAL ITEMS below.

*
COA is running a national PRO GUN RIGHTS media
campaign— http://www.citizensofamerica.org

NEW—A VIDEOTAPE for cable access is ready to go. The
video contains changing graphics and the content of all
current COA radio ads. If you'd like a copy to run on your
local cable access channel we'll send you one free of charge.
Just email us with your request, your mailing address, and
the state, city, and channel number/name on which you wish
to run the ad.

NEW—We've got a NEW RADIO AD called "Get smart,
sisters!" From the homepage, click the HEAR OUR ADS
button to take you to the correct page.

NEW—We've re-edited the radio ad called "Senator: give up
guns speech" to make it more effective. Listen to it by clicking
the "HEAR our ads" button on our homepage.

NEW—you can now COMBINE FUNDS with other folks to
run any COA ad(s) you select in any locality you select. From
our homepage, click the "COMBINE FUNDS to Run Ads"
button for details, a list of selected target cities, and simple
details on how easy it is to get involved.

NEW—We have phased out the "Welcome to the Land Down
Under" radio ad because it is no longer timely, as it relates to
the period beginning one year after their semi-auto ban was
enacted. Also, the latest figures from Australia indicated that
the surge in violent crime is dropping down to its previous
level. This is no vindication of the anti-gun laws, of course,
as
it indicates that the ban's short term effect was more crime
and the long-term effect is zero.

NEW—If you missed COA president Brian Puckett's interview
on Jeff Rense's nationally syndicated radio show
SIGHTINGS you can get a tape of the program by calling toll
free 1-888-456-4340 and ordering one.

NEW--COA will be signing up with MARATHON LONG
DISTANCE in the near future. Marathon provides long
distance service AND contributes a portion of its profits to pro
firearms-rights organizations. This has the potential to help
Citizens Of America tremendously. Please visit Marathon's
home page at http://www.2ndamendment.com/default.htm
and consider signing up--and designating COA as a
beneficiary. Thank you!

order a shirt, let saveourguns.com know that you are a COA
supporter—and thanks!

A NOTE FROM COA's Board of Directors:

To those who responded so generously to our last appeal for
donations, our deepest thanks. COA is out of immediate
danger but is still short of funds for the full year. However,
due to new funding we will shortly have 3 print ads and two
more radio ads available. Again, COA's goal is to put itself
out of business through SUCCESS. But until that happen we
will obviously require continual funding. Remember, we
distribute our product—pro gun ads—free of charge.

COA wants to be YOUR VOICE in relentlessly attacking
those who want to disarm decent Americans---and COA is
JUST GETTING WARMED UP. COA operates to the
maximum extent ongoing funding allows. Our plan is to grow
in strength and reach until COA is the most powerful and
AGGRESSIVE no-compromise pro-firearm, pro-firearm rights
voice in the country.

Help us make 2000 the year gun owners turned the tide in
the war against us. Whatever you can do to help us is greatly
appreciated. We pledge to spend your funds as efficiently
and effectively as possible.

TWO REMINDERS:

FIRST--If you know anyone in the radio or print
communications businesses who might be interested in
running our ads as Public Service Announcements,
interviewing COA officers, or otherwise getting the message
out about what COA is doing-–please let them know about
us! We've found that it is MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE if those
not directly associated with COA are the ones contacting
these folks. Thanks for any help you can give us.

SECOND--Don't forget that you can download our radio ads,
save them as a file, and email them as an attachment
anywhere in the world. Right click the ad, click SAVE LINK
AS, and save the link in the folder or location of your choice,
and then attach it to your outgoing email.

THIRD--Don't forget that there are COA coordinators who are
currently collecting funds to run ads in the following cities:
Houston TX
Sacramento CA
San Jose CA
Denver CO
Grand Rapids MI
North Platte/Kerney NB
Tulsa OK
Albany/Schenectady NY
Duluth area MN
Superior WI

If you want to hear ads in your city as soon as possible, go to
http://www.citizensofamerica.org/RunOurAds.htm#combine
and scroll down to find out how to contact these coordinators
and contribute to the pool. Or become a coordinator for your
area. It's simple and painless.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO ANYONE YOU
THINK MIGHT BE INTERESTED.

Brian Puckett
President, Citizens Of America

COA runs a national pro-firearm media campaign--and YOU
can help!

compromisers out by going to

March 4 Neal Knox Update - President Clinton has called a
meeting for Tuesday with Congressional leaders to demand
passage of his package of gun laws.

On Wednesday, he was on the NBC Today show and CBS
Dan Rather declaring that NRA has a stranglehold on
Congress and is opposed to all gun laws.

On Thursday, NRA E.V.P. Wayne LaPierre was on NBC
Today detailing what all new gun proposals NRA supported.
He listed last June's House-approved gun package which
included a requirement that dealers sell trigger locks with
each handgun, requiring NICS checks on pawn shop
redemption's, banning importation of over-10-round
magazines not included in the 1994 ban, prohibiting
"unsupervised" access by juveniles to "assault weapons" and
high-cap magazines, a lifetime ban on gun ownership for
juveniles convicted of violent offenses, and mandatory
background checks on buyers from gun shows table
operators.

While show host Katie Couric wasn't impressed by the list of
gun laws NRA supports, NRA members lit up NRA's phones
and the Internet, insisting that many of those provisions
violated the Second Amendment.

LaPierre informed Couric that it was the House Democrats,
with White House backing, who killed the entire gun package
because it didn't have Sen. Lautenberg's draconian gun show
background check bill -- which could kill gun shows due to its
almost impossible-to-meet requirements on show sponsors.

Sen. Lautenberg, during a press conferences with Sens.
Richard Durbin and Charles Schumer this week, stated that
his intent was to eliminate gun shows entirely. His
amendment would go a long ways toward that goal.

With Clinton declaring that his trigger lock package would
have saved the First Grader killed in Michigan -- which is
patently ludicrous since the murder gun was stolen and found
in a crack house -- most of the focus of Tuesday's meeting is
likely to be directed toward trigger locks.

Virginia Rep. Tom Davis, chairman of the Republican House
reelection effort, sponsored the amendment requiring
handguns to be sold with trigger locks or other security
devices last June. With NRA's blessing, it passed 311-115.

Gov. George Bush said Wednesday that if such a bill came to
his desk he would sign it, but he felt use of such devices
should be up to the homeowner. He asked if advocates of
requiring trigger locks to be kept installed wanted Federal
"trigger lock police" to assure compliance.

The sticking point in Clinton's package is, as it was last
June, the NRA-backed gun show amendment by Rep. John
Dingell, which would impose workable requirements on gun
show promoters and allow an "Instant Check" to take no
more than 24 hours instead of Lautenberg's five business
days.

Clinton is again unlikely to allow the NRA-backed package to
pass unless it has the NRA-opposed Lautenberg's gun show
amendment, for he wants to keep the gun issue alive,
particularly "trigger locks."

However, if the press begins to report the political game-
playing over trigger locks, Clinton and the Republican
leadership, at least Speaker Dennis Hastert and Judiciary
Chairman Henry Hyde -- might yet agree to pass the trigger
lock bill and the other NRA-backed provisions.

The reaction of other House Republicans, led by Majority
Leader Dick Armey and Whip Tom Delay, and the 40 or so
pro-gun Democrats, led by Rep. Dingell, is a bigger question.

Clinton may well figure that he has more than enough other
pending gun law demands to take nine-tenths of a loaf now,
but I don't expect that to happen until he's had a few more
months to wring the maximum crocodile political tears out of
trigger locks.

Isn't it amazing that a reportedly recent Houston sharpened
screwdriver murder of one grade school kid by another has
had no national publicity? And that this week's killing of two
women by three American kids who heaved large rocks off a
highway overpass in Germany, has gone almost unnoticed?

Please use the ballot in your March NRA magazines, and
urge your friends and fellow voting NRA members to double
the power of their ballots, by voting only for these 13
stalwarts:

Sally Brodbeck
Weldon Clark
William Dominguez
David Gross
Fred Gustafson
Michael Kindberg
Joe Olson
Frank Sawberger
Tom Seefeldt
John Trentes
Miles Ugarkovich
Glen Voorhees
Neal Knox

The biographies of our candidates can be seen on:

Our gun rights depend on who is at the helm of NRA.

Yours for the Second Amendment,

NEAL (s)

Neal Knox

P.S. For a copy of LaPierre's Denver speech, or other
corroborating information, send a self-addressed stamped
envelope. And please, if you can, send a few dollars to print
and mail more copies of this letter.
