Second Amendment Foundation Gun Rights Policy Conference September 22-24, 2006

Sep 22 2006 - 2:00pm
Sep 24 2006 - 2:00pm
Body: Dear Fellow Gun Rights Activist,

I would like to personally invite you to our 21st annual Gun Rights Policy
Conference (GRPC), which will be taking place September 22, 23 and 24, 2006
at the Renaissance Charlotte Suites Hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina.
With the new battles over individual rights in the age of terrorism,
attacks on our gun rights from the UN as well as a number of Second Amendment
cases in the courts, the theme of Victory in Sight is most important as we set
the pro-gun rights agenda for the year to come.

This year GRPC will be action-packed. With over 50 speakers hand-picked from
 the leadership of the Gun Rights Movement, the topics to be presented promise
 to have an impact that will help direct the path of our cause for years to come.

Scheduled speakers this year include: myself, Joe Tartaro, Wayne LaPierre,
 Sandy Froman, John Lott, Massad Ayoob, David Kopel, John Snyder, Joe Waldron,
 as well as staff from the Second Amendment Foundation, Citizens Committee for
 the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, National Rifle Association, National Shooting
 Sports Foundation, KeepAndBearArms.com, and Gun Owners of America.
 A number of elected political leaders have been invited as well.

As in the past, the Second Amendment Foundation will not only pick up the tab
 for lunch and snacks, but will also provide more than $125 worth of vital pro-gun
 rights materials to each attendee.

In addition to the luncheon and free materials, you will have the opportunity to chat
 with the speakers at the two evening NSSF and NRA planned receptions.
This event is so important to our cause, that the SAF Board of Trustees has elected
 to help underwrite the entire cost of the event. Your cost to attend this event is absolutely free!

Because of the number of people who travel every year to attend this event,
 I have negotiated a special discount room rate for GRPC attendees.
 Reservations for the special discounted room (suite) rate of $99 per night
 can be made by calling 1-800-HOTELS-1 (1-800-468-3571), and telling them
 you are planning on attending the Gun Rights Policy Conference.

If you have any questions, please call the SAF office at (425) 454-7012 to register.
 You can also register online at our GRPC Registration & Information Page,
or send an e-mail to grpc2006@saf.org, or fax us at 425-451-3959.

Sincerely yours,
Alan M. Gottlieb
Founder, Second Amendment Foundation
