JPFO Wants to Give You Money
-- Will You Take It??
Do you want to put the gun prohibitionists on the defensive?
Do you want to make the media froth at the mouth?
Do you want the public to reject victim disarmament?
Do you want to do these three things, and have the government to actually
help "pay" for them?
You can do it in YOUR CITY with our new matching funds program. A highly
patriotic JPFO member has made money available to help pay for billboards
featuring eye-catching JPFO artwork. You or your local group can really make a
difference ... at half the cost!
Why Billboards?
Billboards can be the most cost-effective way to win hearts and minds. Why?
Because one picture can say a thousand words in just a few seconds -- and the
image goes directly into the brain -- hundreds and thousands of times per day.
Pictures generate emotional understanding like no other communication tool. He
who wins hearts and minds, wins the battle of ideas!
If the public develops a negative reaction to "gun control"
schemes, then the politicians will notice. Billboards can quickly and
effectively cause people to distrust and eventually ridicule "gun
control" rhetoric -- and that is exactly what we need.
How Matching Funds Double Your Money
Here is the deal:
Committed supporters of freedom raise 50% of the cost of a billboard, and
send that to the JPFO matching funds program. That money counts as a donation
to JPFO, and is tax-deductible for the donors. (JPFO is a 501c(3) tax-exempt
educational organization.)
JPFO will add in the other 50% of the cost, and then commission the
billboard.
Typical billboards are "30-sheet" style about 11 feet by 22 feet.
Depending upon location, they usually cost between $1,100 and $1,500 for one
month display rental. Compare that cost with a full-page advertisement in a
newspaper that can cost thousands of dollars for just one day ... and
forgotten the next day.
Have JPFO Billboards Succeeded Before?
Billboards really work. JPFO has successfully used billboards before to
raise public awareness of the issues. For example, JPFO ran the blockbusting
billboard that shows the monster Adolf Hitler giving the Nazi salute and
saying "All in favor of 'gun control' raise your right hand." The
billboard grabbed attention worldwide because the Associated Press carried a
story about it. Even German and Israeli magazines noticed it.
The "Gun Control is Racist" billboards posted in Milwaukee's
inner city drew a strong media and public reaction -- and might have helped
convince citizens to support a Second Amendment-type provision to be added to
the state constitution. That provision was approved by 73% of voters
statewide.
JPFO urged pro-freedom activists in Missouri to use our approach in the
predominantly African-American section of St. Louis during a referendum on
concealed carry. Unfortunately, those activists rejected our suggestion, and
then spent hundreds of thousands of dollars ... and lost.
By-pass the Media and Save Our Rights
We face the most serious national challenge to the right to keep and bear
arms that has ever appeared. The anti-self defense and victim disarmament
lobby is doing everything possible to destroy our rights, and they have
powerful mainstream media support. You can make a huge impact to fight their
effort if you take advantage of this marvelous opportunity to DOUBLE the
effect of your pro-gun dollars.
The billboard matching fund program is easy, and it's the most powerful way
for you to fight back. Billboards by-pass the mainstream media. Billboards
speak the message all day long, without being interrupted or cut off or
censored by news manipulators. You just can't get a better deal to influence
public opinion.
Matching Fund Program: It's Easy!
Here's all you do. By e-mail or fax, provide JPFO with:
-
Your name and telephone number.
-
The name and size of the city where you want to post the billboard.
-
The location where you want to the billboard to appear. Please provide
either a street address or cross-streets so we can find it on a map.
-
The company name and phone number for the billboard you want to use.
Usually the company name is featured at the bottom of the billboard; the
phone number will probably be listed locally or as an 800 number.
-
How much money you think you can raise -- must be at least 50% of the
billboard rental cost.
-
The name of a local group who might assist in fund raising.
-
The name of a local group or person who can be the contact for local
media.
JPFO will help you choose the best billboard graphic, and then make it
happen!
Limited Time Opportunity -- Call Now!
Please contact me at JPFO today. Even if you have only some of the needed
information, but want to pursue the program, call me with what you have.
The matching funds won't last forever, so it is first come, first served.
To maximize the effect of the billboard campaign and to get the best
advertising value, JPFO reserves the right to make the final decision about
whether to provide the matching funds in any given situation. JPFO will let
you know its decision before you send in the money, of course!
This matching funds opportunity may be here but a short time. Let me hear
from you as soon as possible. There is too much at stake to delay even a day.
Yours in liberty,
Aaron Zelman

P.S.: If you're excited about the program but cannot get all the resources
and information together, you can still help. You can send your private
contribution to the matching funds program -- just note "matching
funds" on the check or when you call with a credit card -- and JPFO will
use that money to post billboards in key cities. You still get the tax
deduction -- and the money is DOUBLED! Now is the time to act, and your help
will really make a difference ... guaranteed!

PLEASE HELP OUT AND GET A BILLBOARD IN YOUR TOWN!
=================================================
It's not about sports, hunting or games. It's not about
parents and children seeking to place blame on every
"thing" and everyone else for shirking their own
personal responsibilities and duties. Nor does it accept blame
for the failure of parents to teach their children right from
wrong.
The purpose of your Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms is
too keep your governments (federal, State and local) honest and
under your control. Your Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms
protects you against tyranny, as a last resort. It's the Right
which protects all of your other God Given Rights and Freedoms.
