[SIZE=-1] Dear Fellow NRA Member,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to join me and NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox for an extraordinary election year event: NRA's Celebration of American Values Banquet on Saturday, May 17th.
Reserve Your Seats Today!
Our keynote speaker for the evening is talk-show host and author
Glenn Beck, whose newest book,
An Inconvenient Book, is at the top of bestseller lists across America at this very moment.
I'm pleased to include Glenn in this honor roll of pro-Second Amendment luminaries because for years, the anti-gun media elite at CNN have attacked the Second Amendment, NRA and the values we cherish. But with Glenn, we have a staunch ally, telling the truth about our guns, our freedoms and us-right on CNN, right at prime time! What he says about you and me is a breath of fresh air amidst the stench of the media's anti-gun propaganda:
"I firmly believe in responsible gun ownership. The founding fathers showed great wisdom and foresight in guaranteeing that "we the people" have the right to arm ourselves. So when I was given a chance to speak at NRA's Celebration of American Values Annual Banquet, I jumped at the chance."
As a banquet attendee, you'll also have a chance to meet
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal who will receive NRA's Harlon B. Carter award for service to the Second Amendment. As a former Congressman, Governor Jindal was the architect of national legislation that prohibits local officials from confiscating guns from law-abiding citizens in times of national emergency.
Seats at our 2008 NRA Celebration of American Values Banquet are selling out quickly, so be sure to
order your tickets today.
With our Second Amendment rights on the line in the 2008 elections, it's critically important that leading NRA members like you be on hand to send a message to politicians in
every corner of the country that we're ready and able to defeat gun-banners in this election.
Your personal presence in Louisville will help send that message loud and clear.
That's why I'm counting on you to join me and other leading NRA members at our
our Celebration of American Values Banquet.
To order your V.I.P. tickets call 1-877-672-7632 or click here. If you can't join us in Louisville for these important events, then please answer freedom's call by
upgrading your NRA membership today.
As a special thank you for upgrading your membership, you'll receive an historic commemorative that celebrates the many generations of NRA heroes who have fought for freedom since the founding of our Association in 1871.
Your limited edition, numbered commemorative features specially minted challenge coins, and an authentic .58 "Minie Ball," used in the era of NRA's founding and retrieved from a Civil War encampment.
I have the first of these special numbered commemoratives here on my office wall. (An unnumbered version will soon be offered in our NRA catalog for $250.)
And I hope that you will also display this magnificent keepsake to honor
your proud place in the long line of NRA patriots who have come before us, and those who must follow in our footsteps if freedom is to survive.
Whether or not you choose to upgrade your membership and help NRA at this critical time, please be sure to
reserve your tickets today for NRA's Celebration of American Values Leadership Forum and Annual Banquet.
Clearly this is the most important election of our lifetime.
This year, you and I have an
awesome responsibility to make our voices heard, shape the debate, reach out to our fellow American gun owners and lead the fight for freedom.
Your participation in the NRA this year at the highest levels-by attending our Celebration of American Values Banquet in Louisville, and by taking this opportunity to upgrade your membership--can help make and change history in the coming months.
Thank you for your friendship and support of NRA. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours in Liberty,
Wayne LaPierre
Executive Vice President, NRA
