Please let me know how I > can get it, give me a plaintext version & I'll see about putting it up. ----- Sorry, I must have made myself unclear. I thought I appended a text "intro" to my previous message. I'll include it below. The flyers are actually .zip files. They contain PCL and PostScript data that can be copied to a printer to produce artwork masters for photocopying. Therefore plain text versions are not suitable for posting. I would like to place the actual .zip files in the pub/chan directory so people can use them in their original format. Here is the intro message... thanks in advance. ----- If you want to DO SOMETHING about preserving your Constitutional Rights, please download your state's version of the Grassroots Flyer and start distributing it in your area TODAY. Most voters oppose the anti-citizen gun control groups, but don't know how to say so or to whom they should say it. The Grassroots Flyer solves these problems by providing a prewritten letter, a list of the state's federal officials, and complete instructions. Voters don't even need an envelope - just a couple of minutes and a few stamps tells their elected officials to preserve their rights. All data is provided in PCL and PostScript for ease of use. Just COPY it directly to almost any laser printer and it's ready for duplication. Everything is public domain; there are no costs and no contributions. Early tests in a city of 300,000 showed rapid disbursement in just one weekend. 100% of contacted commerical establishments wanted copies to hand out - and several guaranteed that no one would leave without one. Comments like "This is exactly what I need" and "THANK YOU for doing this" were very rewarding and were a testimony to the pro-citizen feelings shared by the overwhelming majority of voters. Versions are being prepared for all 50 states. The filename format is ??GRAS.ZIP, where ?? is the postal abbreviation for the state (California is CAGRAS.ZIP, for example). The files are available on the Internet from pub/firearms/politics/incoming (now) and pub/firearms/politics/rkba (soon) at aphrodite.nectar.cs.cmu.edu. They are also available from CompuServe via GO POLITICS, Library 1 (We The People), download ??GRAS.ZIP. They will be uploaded to other locations upon request, and the remaining states will be finished in order of request. ONLINE CITIZENS: This is your opportunity to stop talking and actually do something to preserve our Constitutional Rights. Grassroots movements are inexpensive and carry enormous political power. The vast majority of voters value their rights, but they need help telling their elected officials. Help them, and they can help you - to preserve our rights. Do it today.
