(Bostson) Action Alert

[dischord]

Gun Industry Watch is targeting Vantage Deluxe World Travel (in much the same way that they targeted H&R Block) for having a business association with the NRA.

It is imperitive that Vantage know that it is in their best financial interest to ignore the GIW kids.

Please contact Vantage and lend it a word of support (be polite and nice but firm).

ACTION ALERT

Protest Vantage Travel’s Support of the NRA!

Please join Gun Industry Watch and Million Mom March for a protest on May 30, 2002 in front of Vantage Deluxe World Travel in Boston to decry Vantage’s marketing contribution to the National Rifle Association (NRA).

The Vantage ad on the NRA website reads, “Support the NRA by planning a trip with Vantage Deluxe World Travel.” A Vantage booking agent informed Gun Industry Watch that Vantage does not offer travel discounts to NRA members, but instead, donates a portion of the trip proceeds directly to the NRA. In making direct contributions to the NRA, Vantage Travel helpsto support NRA programs and policies that are out of step with mainstream America.

We want to tell Vantage that their support of the NRA helps to
encourage efforts to keep military-style assault weapons on our streets, to fund the country’s leading opponent of mandatory trigger locks, as well as to promote programs that allow convicted and violent felons to own guns.

We hope that you will join us for this protest. Gun Industry Watch will provide signs and other materials for participants. Please meet in front of Vantage’s offices at 10:15 a.m. on May 30th. If you have any questions, please contact the rally organizers at 202-822-6070.

Date of Protest: May 30, 2002

WHERE: Vantage Deluxe World Travel
90 Canal Street, Boston, Mass.

WHEN: Protest will begin at 10:30 a.m. (Please arrive by 10:15 a.m.)

We hope that you will join us for this protest. Gun Industry Watch will provide signs and other materials for participants.

"I accidentally dropped my sign in the mud and then accidentally doused it in kerosene and set it afire. Can I have another one?"
