Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
I'm going to stock up on some ammo on the 28th.

Brady Campaign with its Million Mom March Chapters Join in National Day of Protest against Illegal Guns on August 28
"August 28, 1963, was a watershed moment in American history, and one that will be forever linked to social change and social justice. We can't achieve Dr. King's 'dream' of what America can be when we lose 32 people every day to gun murders." ~ Brady Campaign President Paul Helmke
Dear ,
Brady Campaign President Paul Helmke joined Jesse Jackson at a Chicago protest against illegal gun trafficking, organized by the Rainbow PUSH Coalition designed to highlight the role played by corrupt gun dealers.
We know you share our dream of a safer, saner America. We also know this dream must be supported by action.
That is why the Brady Campaign is supporting the Rainbow PUSH Coalition's National Day of Protest - against corrupt gun dealers and the scourge of illegal gun trafficking in our country - on Tuesday, August 28, the anniverary of Martin Luther King's March on Washington. We ask that you support this day in any way you can: by joining us at one of the protests or by giving a gift in honor of the day.
More than 20 events are being organized in communities throughout the nation by the Brady Campaign's Million Mom March Chapters, state gun violence prevention groups, and individual activists.
Among the activities next Tuesday will be: (click on the links for more information about each event)
Newark: a rally at a park near the school where the recent, tragic shootings took place
Washington, D.C./District Heights, Md.: a protest at a gun store in Maryland that is responsible for the most crime guns found in D.C.
Dallas: a march down Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and rally at a local church
Denver: a silence vigil to protest recent shootings
Duluth, Minn.: a bell-ringing for gun violence victims at city hall
Ewing, N.J.: a kick-off BBQ for Operation Ceasefire
Houston: a "freeway blog" over a busy highway
Minneapolis: an anti-violence coalition breakfast and Protest Easy Guns lie-in
Philadelphia: Protest Easy Guns lie-in and community forum
Phoenix: a candlelight vigil at the Arizona state capitol
San Diego: community forum on illegal guns
and Protest Easy Guns Lie-Ins in Seattle, Raleigh, Philadelphia, Portland (Maine), Minneapolis, St. Paul, Richmond/San Pablo (Calif.), and Springfield (Ill.)
In addition, a statewide letter writing campaign is being organized in California to build support for a crime-fighting "microstamping" bill being considered by the State Legislature.
The August 28 rallies will push leaders at all levels of government to crack down on corrupt gun dealers, take action against illegal gun trafficking, and keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals.
If you cannot join us at one of the rallies above, please consider a gift in honor of these events so that we can make our dream of a safe America a reality. Thank you.
