OFF ALERT 12.22.10
HOLIDAY WARNING.
Merry Christmas from OFF.
We’d like to leave it at that, but we felt it was important to warn you
that an organization that pretends to protect you, while enriching and
endorsing anti-gun politicians, is looking to find its way into your wallet.

A Holiday Warning.
It's the time for giving and once again gun owners across the state are
receiving requests for cash from an organization that claims to support
gun rights, while working overtime for gun control.
Oregonians who have concealed handgun licenses are getting this letter
(http://oregonfirearms.org/pdfs/ogoletter2010.pdf) from "Oregon Gun Owners
Political Action Committee"
In 1999 "Oregon Gun Owners" worked with former legislator, and perennial
candidate, Kevin Mannix, to forge legislation that would outlaw private
transfers of firearms at gun shows. They failed. They then attempted a ballot
measure to do the same thing. They failed again. (Their sister-in-arms,
Ginny Burdick, armed with millions in out-of-state money succeeded.)
Now "Oregon Gun Owners" is asking real Oregon gun owners to send them
cash. What do they do with it? Well in 2010 alone the sent over $8000.00
to anti-gun politicians in Salem. They endorsed Floyd Prozanski and Peter
Courtney, two of the most anti-gun politicians in the state, and they sent
their lobbyist, Paul Phillips to testify in FAVOR of more gun control in the
February "special" session.
Their letter says that the cost of printing their fundraising letter was
paid for "by another gun rights organization." Oddly they don't say who
that was. We think it's most likely that the other "gun rights" organization
was... Oregon Gun Owners.
At this special time of year, when money is tight and scams are
uptrending, we at OFF think it's important to know who you are giving to.
Have a merry and scam-free Christmas.
