The White House Comment Line is (202) 456-1111. NRA Headquarters has indicated that the following Congressmen are considered "swing" votes and should be contacted as soon as possible: CA-10 Gary Condit (Modesto) (209) 527-1914 / (202) 225-6131 CA-22 Mike Huffington (Santa Barbara) (805) 682-6600 / (202) 225-3601 CA-31 Mathew Martinez (Alhambra) (818) 458-4524 / (202) 225-5464 *** STATE (California) NEWS *** AB 1333 (Gotch) will be up for a final vote in the Senate tomorrow. On Monday, it failed by one vote but was granted reconsideration. The vote will be very close, so we need you to call your Senator and ask him/her to vote NO. AB 1333 would prohibit police from selling SEIZED firearms but allow them to sell city or county PURCHASED firearms. The bill is a bad idea and very hypocritical. We need a particular focus on Senators William Craven (Oceanside), Steve Peace (San Diego), Robert Presley (Riverside), Patrick Johnston (Stockton) and Tom Campbell (Stanford). Please call them and urge a NO vote. We also need "thank you" calls to Senators Mike Thompson (Napa Valley) and Dan McCorquodale (Modesto) who supported us on the first vote. We need the calls into their offices NO LATER than 10:00 a.m. Thursday. Senator Craven (916) 445-3731 / (619) 438-3814 Senator Peace (916) 445-6767 / (619) 427-7080 Senator Presley (916) 445-9781 / (909) 782-4111 Senator Johnston (916) 445-2407 / (209) 948-7930 Senator Campbell (916) 445-6747 / (415) 949-5401 Senator McCorquodale (916) 445-3104 / (209) 576-6231 Senator Thompson (916) 445-3375 / (707) 576-2771 SENATOR ROBERTI RECALL SPECIAL ELECTION APRIL 12th There will be a special election on April 12th in the 20th Senate District in the San Fernando Area.

YOU must get involved NOW. NRA ENDORSES DENISE MORENO DUCHENY FOR STATE ASSEMBLY IN DISTRICT 79 Your vote for Denise Moreno Ducheny for State Assembly in District 79 on Tuesday, April 12, 1994, is vital to preserving your gun rights. Denise Moreno Ducheny has been rated B+ based on her responses to the NRA questionnaire. She has vowed to be a staunch supporter of pro-gun legislation if elected to this Assembly seat in District 79. The attacks on your Second Amendment rights by anti-gun forces have been intense recently and are expected to increase in the days ahead. You, and all other law-abiding gun owners in California, need to support strong pro-gun legislators like Denise Moreno Ducheny who will fight to preserve and promote your constitutional rights in the State Assembly. Voter turnout in primary elections is typically low. Make sure you vote and spread the word to family, friends and fellow gun owners that a vote for Denise Moreno Ducheny is a vote to preserve your gun rights in California. ====================================================================== -- ************************************************************ * Ron Phillips crphilli@hound.edaca.ingr.com * * Senior Customer Engineer * * Intergraph Electronics * * 381 East Evelyn Avenue VOICE: (415) 691-6473 * * Mountain View, CA 94041 FAX: (415) 691-0350 * ************************************************************
