ALERT FROM JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP

JPFO ALERT: THE _REAL_ DANGER TO JEWISH PEOPLE
(IT MAY BE OTHER JEWS!)

Quick - in 10 seconds, name the top three real dangers to
Jewish people in the world.

Time's up. Chances are you identified one or more of these
true threats to Jews: Palestinian terror bombers, growing
violent anti-Semitism in Europe, and radical segments of
the Arab/Muslim world.

Did you even for a moment consider "American Christians" as
a primary danger to Jews? JPFO would never even imagine
it.

Leave it to Abe Foxman, national director of the Anti-
Defamation League (ADL), to lash out against evangelical
Christians in America. That's right - Foxman is raising
money from his loyal supporters on the pretext that such
Christians pose a serious threat to American Jews.

Unsurprisingly, Foxman and the ADL are strongly anti-
rights, and support the most prohibitive of "gun control"
regimes. The ADL routinely aligns itself with the heavily
statist, socialist, big government forces on the political
Left. It is the political Left that screams to have the
Jewish Ten Commandments removed from every public place in
America. It is the Left that today most vocally attacks
Israel, the only state in the Middle East that is
democratic, and the only state in the world that is openly
Jewish.

Meanwhile, evangelical Christians in America tend to be
pro-rights, pro-Constitution, pro-Ten Commandments, and
pro-self defense. Evangelical Christians overwhelmingly
support Israel's right to exist, and they frequently reach
out to support Jews in America and other nations.

So why does it make sense for the self-described Jewish ADL
to attack the strongly pro-Israel and pro-Jewish group in
America? Why does it make sense for the ADL to align with
the Left that hates Israel while sympathizing with homicide
bombers?

We at JPFO suggest these answers.

Fundamentally, Foxman and the ADL are statist socialists
first and foremost, Americans a distant second, and Jewish
dead last. By contrast, evangelical Christianity tends to
favor Biblical values which include ideas of limited
government, individual freedom, and personal and family
responsibility. Evangelical Christians lean strongly
toward loving American values and traditions.

Morally, Foxman and the ADL are cowardly. If they attack
American Christians, the Christians will respond by writing
letters and speaking out -- at most. If Foxman and the ADL
attack radical Muslims or European anti-Semites, the
responses very likely might be assassinations and bombings
that kill Jews and others. So, Foxman and the ADL shoot at
friendlies instead of real enemies, knowing the friendlies
won't shoot back.

Financially, Foxman and the ADL are raising money from
their usual supporters. They need only to ring out "the
Christians are coming" and their captive sheep send in
thousands of dollars. Compare that despicable hate-
mongering to the fact that mainstream evangelical
Christians never raise money by generating fear of Jews.

Thoughtful Americans, whether Jewish, Christian, or non-
religious, can see Foxman's cynical, cowardly, hateful
jihad for what it is.

Happy Shabbos, Abe.

GOP memo touts new terror attack as way to reverse party's decline

A confidential memo circulating among senior Republican leaders suggests that a new attack by terrorists on U.S. soil could reverse the sagging fortunes of President George W. Bush as well as the GOP and "restore his image as a leader of the American people."

The closely-guarded memo lays out a list of scenarios to bring the Republican party back from the political brink, including a devastating attack by terrorists that could “validate” the President’s war on terror and allow Bush to “unite the country” in a “time of national shock and sorrow.”

The memo says such a reversal in the President's fortunes could keep the party from losing control of Congress in the 2006 midterm elections.

GOP insiders who have seen the memo admit it’s a risky strategy and point out that such scenarios are “blue sky thinking” that often occurs in political planning sessions.

“The President’s popularity was at an all-time high following the 9/11 attacks,” admits one aide. “Americans band together at a time of crisis.”

Other Republicans, however, worry that such a scenario carries high risk, pointing out that an attack might suggest the President has not done enough to protect the country.

“We also have to face the fact that many Americans no longer trust the President,” says a longtime GOP strategist. “That makes it harder for him to become a rallying point.”

The memo outlines other scenarios, including:

--Capture of Osama bin Laden (or proof that he is dead);

--A drastic turnaround in the economy;

--A "successful resolution" of the Iraq war.

GOP memos no longer talk of “victory” in Iraq but use the term “successful resolution.”

“A successful resolution would be us getting out intact and civil war not breaking out until after the midterm elections,” says one insider.

The memo circulates as Tuesday’s disastrous election defeats have left an already dysfunctional White House in chaos, West Wing insiders say, with shouting matches commonplace and the blame game escalating into open warfare.

“This place is like a high-school football locker room after the team lost the big game,” grumbles one Bush administration aide. “Everybody’s pissed and pointing the finger at blame at everybody else.”

Republican gubernatorial losses in Virginia and New Jersey deepened rifts between the Bush administration and Republicans who find the President radioactive. Arguments over whether or not the President should make a last-minute appearance in Virginia to try and help the sagging campaign fortunes of GOP candidate Jerry Kilgore raged until the minute Bush arrived at the rally in Richmond Monday night.

“Cooler heads tried to prevail,” one aide says. “Most knew an appearance by the President would hurt Kilgore rather than help him but (Karl) Rove rammed it through, convincing Bush that he had enough popularity left to make a difference.”

Bush didn’t have any popularity left. Overnight tracking polls showed Kilgore dropped three percentage points after the President’s appearance and Democrat Tim Kaine won on Tuesday.

Conservative Pennsylvania Republican Senator Rick Santorum told radio talk show host Don Imus Wednesday that he does not want the President's help and will stay away from a Bush rally in his state on Friday.

The losses in Virginia and New Jersey, coupled with a resounding defeat of ballot initiatives backed by GOP governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in California have set off alarm klaxons throughout the demoralized Republican party. Pollsters privately tell GOP leaders that unless they stop the slide they could easily lose control of the House in the 2006 midterm elections and may lose the Senate as well.

“In 30 years of sampling public opinion, I’ve never seen such a freefall in public support,” admits one GOP pollster.

Democratic pollster Geoffrey Garin says the usual tricks tried by Republicans no longer work.

"None of their old tricks worked," he says.

Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) admits the GOP is a party mired in its rural base in a country that's becoming less and less rural.

"You play to your rural base, you pay a price," he says. "Our issues blew up in our face."

As Republican political strategists scramble to find a message – any message – that will ring true with voters, GOP leaders in Congress admit privately that control of their party by right-wing extremists makes their recovery all but impossible.

“We’ve made our bed with these people,” admits an aide to House Speaker Denny Hastert. “Now it’s the morning after and the hangover hurts like hell.”

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

October 28, 2005


GUN OWNERS, 1 - ATF, 0
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS

We're proud to announce a major breakthrough in the long
battle to curb the abuses of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

The Congressional Research Service (CRS), an arm of the U.S.
Congress, has issued a memo telling the world what we've
always said (http://www.jpfo.org/batfearticles.htm): that
ATF "experts" use arbitrary, made-up standards when they
bring charges against gun owners and testify against us in
court.

You can read the CRS report here:
http://www.jpfo.org/ATFguntests.pdf

Read it carefully. Notice something important. Although the
CRS did an investigation of its own, it relied heavily on
information that came straight from gun-maker Len Savage and
JPFO.

THIS REPORT ALMOST GOT BURIED!

Although JPFO does not lobby Congress or urge anyone else
to, JPFO's work and Len's was instrumental in bringing this
report into the world. We're proud of that fact.

But YOUR work was instrumental, too, if you were one of the
many Americans who asked their representatives to get a copy
of the ATF's testing procedures manual.

No such ATF manual exists. One after one, at gun owners'
urging, congressmen asked the CRS to get the manual. The CRS
asked the ATF to produce the manual. And they hit a wall.

Then something ominous happened. For several weeks, the CRS,
urged on by a frantic Justice Department, planned to bury
this information.

Why? Because these revelations could potentially overturn
hundreds, even thousands, of criminal prosecutions of
innocent gun owners, going back decades.

But YOU kept pushing. And you did it on your own.

Finally the CRS had no choice but to reveal the truth: the
ATF simply "makes it up as they go along."

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

The CRS memo changes nothing by itself. It has no legal
force. But it is the first light Congress has shone on the
ATF in 23 years. It is a _beginning_. It is a tool concerned
gun owners -- and defense attorneys -- can use.

It's also a demonstration of the truth of two well-known
quotations about the power of the grassroots.

"When I feel the heat, I see the light." -- Sen. Everett Dirksen

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can
change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that can." --
Margaret Mead

Now, what the future holds is, in part, up to you. Take action!

1) READ the CRS report.

2) SHARE IT. Circulate the link to it on email lists. Post
the link on your blog. Let the world know. Think of two
dozen -- or a hundred -- friends who need to see the report
and share it with them.

3) ASK QUESTIONS. "How can I get more gun-rights groups
involved in this?" "When is Congress going to curb the ATF?"
"What can I do about it?" "What should ALL gun owners do
about it?" "What can defense lawyers do with this report?"
"Do I know any lawyers or abused gun owners who should get a
copy of this?"

4) BUILD FORCES to demand that this report be acted upon and
not ignored.

The CRS report isn't dramatic. The language is calm and
legalistic. It has no force in law. The drama comes when
this report inspires OUTRAGE and ACTION.

Thanks to Len Savage, JPFO, and a few hundred gun owners,
you now have proof that backs what abused gun owners have
been shouting all these years.

Now ... run with it.

If American gun owners take this memo and demand action upon
it, this little report will be bigger than the recent
pro-gun vote in Brazil, bigger than forcing FEMA to allow
firearms into refugee settlements. This has the potential to
lead to the dismantling of one of the worst agencies of the
federal government.

Even if it doesn't lead to the end of the ATF, it could
still stop the ruin of thousands of gun owners' lives and
the abuse of millions of gun owners' rights.

In a corollary to Everett Dirksen's famous remark, we always
say "Attack their pension to get their attention." ATF
agents are just working men and women who want to make a
living and retire comfortably. Threatening their security is
the best way to force them to behave.

And make no mistake. Despite the polite language, the
revelations in this report are a major threat to ATF power.

Now ... our next step is to make sure the nobody tolerates
ATF abuses. We must keep the light shining on the CRS report
until every defense lawyer, judge, and leader in the land is
aware of it.

Then we must absolutely refuse to tolerate anyone who
tolerates ATF abuses.

Finally, after decades, WE, the American gun owners, are in
a position to take initiative and control.

Will you stand with JPFO and Len Savage? Or will you let the
ATF get away with its abuses when the power to stop them has
finally been placed in your hands? Your freedom is up to you.
