    Wow, I received my FIRST pro-Second Amendment advocacy email that actually ASKED a question.

    How will you vote on Second Amendment legislation?
    Will you vote to defend the Second Amendment?
    How will you vote on [specific issue]?

    EFFECTIVE advocacy starts with a question, not all the reasons why an elected should vote Yes or No. The first step in EFFECTIVE advocacy is to find out who is with you, who is undecided, and who is against you.

    Ineffective advocacy starts and ends with all the reasons why you want a Yes or No vote. Ineffective advocacy reinforces the false premise that no one is with you, which isolates you from your friends and empowers your enemies.

    Warning a legislator that you'll hold him/her accountable if he/she votes wrong works against you if that person was/is/will/does vote with you. Find out who your friends are, who is undecided, and who is against you. From there, treat the three groups differently: Thank you, education, and caution.
