YOUR SUPPORT AND HELP IS NEEDED TO FIGHT THE ANTI'S WHO LIE OVER AND OVER

When you first joined the NRA, you took an important step to ensure our unique American freedoms survive today, tomorrow, and for years to come. And I'm grateful for your strong membership commitment. But today, I'm personally asking you to take your commitment to the next level - and stand with me on the front lines of the biggest and most dangerous mid-term election battle we've ever faced. Make no mistake. This is the campaign fight of our lives. Seventeen months ago, when we won a historic election battle and defeated Hillary Clinton, we kicked over a hornet's nest. Our anti-gun opponents are now filled with an unbridled hatred of everything we stand for. Not only our guns. They hate our freedom. They hate our patriotism. They even hate our flag. And right now, their out-of-control hatred is being harnessed by an anti-gun campaign machine unlike anything we've seen in our lifetime. Become a 2018 NRA-ILA Sustaining Member Today! In the time since Hillary Clinton's defeat, the gun-ban lobby has transformed itself into a massive, national political operation that now has the ability to single-handedly tip the scales in nearly every election. They have an army of anti-gun strategists sifting through daily poll numbers and scheming the best way to push their gun-ban propaganda on the American people. They're producing slick TV ads in Hollywood studios and recruiting high-profile celebrities to make their case. They're building political profiles of millions of swing voters in preparation for a massive Get-Out-The-Vote drive that could overwhelm us at the polls on Election Day. And they've got a nearly unlimited supply of money from elitist billionaires like Michael Bloomberg and George Soros - who can write million dollar checks just as easily as you or I can buy a cup of coffee. Become a 2018 NRA-ILA Sustaining Member Today! This is no longer a fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants operation - it's a professional political machine that's as big and powerful as any modern presidential campaign. And they've already proved their strategy can work. Last November, in Virginia's off-year elections, the gun-banners put their new campaign machine to the test. The result: They not only installed anti-gun politicians in the governorship, the lieutenant governorship, and the attorney general's office, but they also defeated scores of pro-gun state legislators that just a couple of years ago were considered unbeatable. Now they're planning to roll out this same strategy in campaigns all across America. You and I have won big elections against long odds before. But we won't win in 2018 without your personal commitment as a NRA-ILA Sustaining Member. That's why I'm urging you to become a 2018 NRA-ILA Sustaining Member and help me lead the fight in this make-or-break election battle. And it's also why I'm asking you to make your NRA-ILA Sustaining Member contribution of $25, $37, $50 or more today so NRA-ILA will have the resources we need to win this fight. In my more than 20 years fighting with NRA-ILA to defend the Second Amendment, I can tell you we've never faced a more dangerous mid-term election battle than the one we face today. If our anti-gun opponents install gun-ban majorities in the U.S. House and Senate this year, they will put themselves in prime position to seize the White House in 2020 and rip the Second Amendment out of the Constitution forever. That's what I mean when I say EVERYTHING you and I believe in is on the line this November. By choosing to become a NRA-ILA Sustaining Member today, you will help change the course of this critical mid-term election and change the course of American history. You and I have been fighting in the trenches together for years. We've fought side-by-side in massive legislative brawls, in freedom-defining court battles, and in election fights that no one thought we could win. Inch by inch, yard by yard, we've gained precious ground for freedom. Week after week, year after year, we've never let up. I'm sending you this email today because I know you truly understand what's at stake right now…and how dangerously close we are to losing the freedoms and country we love. Become a 2018 NRA-ILA Sustaining Member Today! The outcome of this year's mid-term election is going to shape the future of our gun rights for years and decades to come. There's never been a more important time for you to be a NRA-ILA Sustaining Member. So please, let me hear from you right now. On behalf of everyone here at NRA-ILA, thank you in advance for your leadership at this most critical time in our nation's history. Sincerely, Chris W. Cox Executive Director
