	      NRA ENDORSES RICH WILLIAMSON FOR U.S. SENATE
	
Dear Illinois NRA Member:				October, 1992

	As a gun enthusiast, you know that lawful gun ownership is
being attacked more and more frequently, and with greater and greater
intensity, in the halls of the U.S. Congress. That's why 1992 may prove
to be the most important milestone ever in our efforts to ensure that
law-abiding citizens and their children are able to enjoy the shooting
sports and firearms into the 21st century and beyond. To meet that
challenge, gun owners everywhere must work to elect pro-gun candidates
that will form a solid foundation from which to defend the right to
keep and bear arms on Capitol Hill.

	In the General Election on November 3rd, the sportsmen and
women of Illinois can meet that challenge by electing Rich Williamson
as the next U.S. Senator from the State of Illinois.

	Rich Williamson realises that law-abiding gun owners are not
the problem with crime in America. To address the real crime problem,
Rich Williamson has pledged to support stiffer penalties for criminals
who use a firearm in the commission of a crime. His opponent's crime
package includes legalizing drug use and repealing the death penalty.

	Rich Williamson's opponent in this race is ultra-liberal Carol
Moseley Braun. She supports BANS on semi-automatic firearms, as well
as "waiting periods" and registration of gun owners. Her position on
gun ownership will make her best friends with anti-gun Senators Ted
Kennedy, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Paul Wellstone and Howard Metzenbaum
-- and you know what that would mean for your gun rights!

	Braun's ethics are also questionable after she accepted 
government contracts earning her hundreds of thousands of taxpayers
dollars in fees, hired double-dipping employeess, and allegedly evaded
taxes on royalty payments and assisted with Medicare fraud. Members of
Congress are being sent packing by their constituents for these
kinds of questionable, unethical, activities. But Carol Moseley wants
you to elect her to represent you and Illinois in Washington, D.C.

	By voting for Rich Williamson you can help protect your Second
Amendment rights in the U.S. Congress. Between now and election day
you need to do three things to help Rich Williamson:

	(1) VOTE for Rich Williamson on November 3rd. Make sure to take
	as many other voters as you can to the polls with you to vote
	for Rich Williamson.
	
	(2) TELL your family, friends and fellow sportsmen about the
	NRA's endorsement of Rich Williamson. Urgge them to vote for
	Rich Williamson on November 3rd.
	
	(3) GO out right now and put the enclosed bumpersticker on your
	automobile to show Rich Williamson your support for his 
	campaign, Then call the Williamson campaign at 312-641-1992 and
	volunteer to help. A knowledge of campaigns or politics is not
	necessary, only a willingness to elect pro-gun candidates!
	
	The choice for Illinois gun owners and sportsmen and women is
clear. Rich Williamson will restore your voice on Second Amendment and
hunting issues in the U.S. Senate. Please make sure you vote to send
Rich Williamson to Washington, D.C. for 103rd Congress. Your right
to keep and bear arms hangs in the balance.

					David W. Gibbons, Director
