Yet another way to Pi$$ off HCI - deplete their funds

**TheBluesMan** · September 24, 1999, 07:36 AM

I received this e-mail today and think it is worth passing on to as many people as possible. Please post it on other gun-boards as well. All it costs you is two stamps.

Subject: HCI Referendum etc.

Several weeks ago I received a fund raising letter from Sarah Brady at Handgun Control, Inc. which included their "1999 Referendum on Guns and Violence." In response I sent them a letter stating that I would like to receive a copy of their latest financial statement and a copy of Federal Form 990 - both of which they are required by law to provide.

Long story short Sarah makes $155,000 ($77,500 of which is funded by the Violence Policy Center) per year working to ban guns and the President of HCI makes $122,891 (figures for 1997). In the same year HCI spent a reported total $7,624,306 to ban guns. All in all I caused them to photocopy 13 pages of information for the cost of a letter and a self-addressed stamped envelope. Not a bad trade, it costs them more than that to reproduce the paperwork plus labor to stuff seal than it cost me for the letter and postage.

Do it now!
Just dash off a quick note requesting the forms mentioned above and enclose a SASE and drop it in the mail. We can help HCI run up their paper and labor costs, and take money out of their war chest. Every little bit helps.

Also an after-thought.....Not bad wages either while working to make felons out of the very people who have and continue to keep this country free.
