Shoot first coming to Kansas?
In October, Florida became a very dangerous place, and if the National Rifle Association (NRA) gets its way, Kansas will be next.

On October 1, the Shoot First Law went into effect in Florida, giving the people of Florida permission to use deadly force as a first resort, even in a public place. The law grants sweeping criminal and civil immunity to anyone who pulls the trigger when they feel 'threatened' -- and specifically denies legal recourse to innocent bystanders killed or wounded in the crossfire, even if the shooter acted negligently.

Click here to tell Governor Sebelius that "Shoot First" is a horrible policy idea for Kansas.

But the Shoot First doctrine isn't just staying in Florida -- the NRA has made no bones about the fact that it plans to export Shoot First legislation to all 50 states in 2006. This is about to become a national disgrace, and will take us back to the days of the Wild West -- unless you get involved.

Our partners at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence have put together an easy way for you to tell your Governor to "Keep Shoot First out of our state" -- and we encourage you to click the link below to get this important message to Governor Sebelius.

Click here to take action with the Brady Campaign and keep "Shoot First" from becoming law in Kansas.

Thanks in advance for taking a proactive stand to stop the spread of this dangerous legislation. Together, we can make sure this law doesn't come to Kansas next.

Please forward this newsletter to your friends, email lists, and bloggers you know to help spread the word about this important campaign!

Thank you for working to build a better world.

1. Hi Proud2Blib!!!
I Love WALD. I've been a WALD user for about 20 years. I always tell the other phone companies who call why I'm not leaving WALD.

Peace is Possible.
Stop the Killing.
Hare Krsna!

3. Yes, thank you, your cutout of *Sneak made me think of others I've seen.
It would be fun to make one for street theater of *Sneak.
