   Aaron Zelman, founder and executive director of Jews for the
Preservation of Firearms Ownership, has announced creation of a vital
and unique new resource for advocates of the individual right to own
and carry weapons.

   _2A Today for the USA_ is a free 23-minute video presentation, a
weapon of thought, specifically produced to disrupt and destroy the
evil, inhumane agenda of victim disarmers and gun prohibitionists with
generous applications of legal and historical truth. Because JPFO
encourages the widest possible distribution of this film, it is being
offered on the Internet for free, with numerous options for viewing or
downloading.

   Quite simply put, in these frightening times we're living through
today, you must use this video -- or lose your guns.

   Although many gun rights advocates mistakenly believe that the
recent Heller Supreme Court decision was a victory for our side, in
fact it authorizes all manner of infringements -- in the form of
"reasonable" regulation -- on the individual right to own and carry
weapons. _2A Today for the USA_ sets the legal and historical record
straight.

   In the current national election -- no matter what political
propagandists are saying now -- both sides are sworn and established
enemies of private, individual gun ownership, who either don't
understand the Second Amendment, or willfully misinterpret it. _2A
Today for the USA_ exposes them for what they are: ruthless would-be
dictators who find a well-armed populace an inconvenience to their
plans.

   One thing is certain: whoever wins this election, we will have no
friends in the White House for the next four to eight years. Even if
John McCain wins, and Sarah Palin means what she appers to say on
Second Amendment issues, she won't be the boss, and she won't be able
to dissuade her boss from ravaging our rights as he has always tried
to do.

   We all know the setup: cowardly Republican president wants some
pet bill passed; predatory Democratic congress tacks on an anti-gun
hitchhiker; cowardly Republican folds like a dollar bill and more of
our rights disappear.

   Clearly, you must use this video -- or lose your guns.

   Go to: <http://www.jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/2a-today-download.htm> to
view or download the movie, which was made possible by JPFO's members
and supporters.

   Please send this announcement to your friends and everyone on your
address lists. That should include every gun owner, every gun dealer,
every hunting buddy, and everyone else you know.

   Make sure JPFO's video is seen -- as a warning, if nothing else --
by anyone in a position to help take your guns away. Start modestly,
with just half a dozen city council members, then work your way up to
the mayor, city manager, municipal and county judges, county
commissioners, the governor, state and federal representatives,
senators, and judges.

   What does it cost, how much time does it take, to send an e-mail?
You must use this video -- or lose your guns.

   Be relentless with the media -- with radio stations, newspapers,
and television. Be sure to include any clubs you may belong to: they
all start their meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance, make sure they
know what it really means.

   Don't overlook "friends of the NRA" -- they need to be shown the
truth more than most. Here's something you can do: tell your friends
that when they are approached by various gun groups for money, they
should demand that the group encourage their members to watch _2A
Today for the USA_ on the Internet or there will be no more donations
or memberships for phony "freedom fighters".

   Tell them they must use this video -- or lose their guns.

   Follow whatever viewing or downloading procedure best suits your
preferences, and download/bandwidth options. PC users can right click
and choose "save target as" on links to download the files to your
computer. There are also links to YouTube and Blip.TV. Please email us
if you have any problems.

   Again, <http://www.jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/2a-today-download.htm>

   Remember, you must use this video -- or lose your guns.
