From JPFO:

ALERT FROM JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP
America's Aggressive Civil Rights Organization

April 3, 2006

JPFO ALERT: Taxes and Gun Rights

JPFO's latest "Common Sense" column for _Shotgun News_ is now available
at www.jpfo.org/cs200604.pdf (it's in PDF format, so you'll need Acrobat
Reader, available free from www.acrobat.com ).

In this column (the latest contribution to our "Boot the BATFE"
campaign), we point out the direct connection between federal taxation
and the destruction of our gun
rights...and our very way of life. Worse yet, _we ourselves are enabling
this destruction!_

Please take a moment to read this column. Once you've read it, download
it, copy it, and distribute it to everyone you know. Then read our
articles, "Taxing Away Our Rights" at www.jpfo.org/taxrights.htm and
"You'll Be Freer and Richer in a Bill of Rights Culture" at
www.jpfo.org/borculture.htm.

It's only 256 days until Bill of Rights Day. Your rights are being
destroyed and your liberties curtailed. Haven't you had enough?

- The Liberty Crew
