Welcome to the NSSF 2008 Voter Registration campaign!

This election is critical for gun owners and hunters. There
are major differences in the positions held by the candidates in
the Presidential race.
For example, Senator John McCain stood up against baseless
lawsuits that attempted to blame the shooting sports industry
for the criminal acts of third parties. Senator Obama,
by contrast, voted to let antigun politicians like New York City
Mayor Bloomberg file ridiculous lawsuits against the industry. Those
lawsuits threatened to bankrupt this firearms industry – and
deprive hunters and shooters of our Second Amendment rights.
Here's the sobering truth: So far in this
presidential election, there has been a two-to-one turnout difference
between voters supporting anti-gun candidates, versus voters supporting
pro-gun candidates. Hunters and shooters are on the
wrong side of two-to-one odds.
The threat to our rights hasn't receded. Elections
matter. And it's not just a question of who is sitting in
the Oval Office. There are also 35 U.S. Senate races this
year, and 435 races for the U.S. House of Representatives. Plus
there are thousands of races at the state and local level. The
balance of power is up for grabs across the country.
Why let someone else decide who's going to make the rules? Click
on your state, and fill out the simple form. Print
it out, sign it, fold, tape and stamp it. Then drop it
in the mail. It will take five minutes. Ask your
friends, family and fellow hunters and shooters to do the same.
You can't vote if you aren't registered.
Don't Risk Your Rights. Register

Sincerely,
Steve Sanetti
