Seasons Greetings

At this time of year, the staff at the Fifty Caliber Institute would like to send to you all a hearty Seasons Greetings.

We also want to particularly thank each of you for your support this past year, either financially or by contacting your legislators when the need was there. It’s only with this kind of support that we can continue our work of protecting your RIGHT to own the rifle caliber of YOUR choice.

As we look forward to 2008, we are expecting a spirited election process for Congress (most of the Senate and all of the House of Representatives), as well as President and more state and local positions than you can count. We urge you all to focus on the 2nd amendment beliefs of these candidates in making your choice at the ballot box. While you are watching the election process, ask them not how they stand on gun-owner’s rights, but instead, ask them what they’ve DONE to protect those rights.

For this election cycle, unlike previous ones, many of the candidates that have sworn to take your personal property, have been advised to avoid that topic, to look moderate and non-threatening. So how these candidates have performed will be the litmus test, not what they say, on this issue.

Don’t accept platitudes. Accept actions.
