KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES! Please find CRPA’s recommendations for candidates in the upcoming election inside this packet. For more information and updates about the election and candidates visit CRPA’s website at www.crpa.org/election-guide. This election cycle is unlike any we have witnessed in many years. Americans in general, and Californians in particular, are in an epic struggle to preserve our right to keep and bear firearms for ourselves and future generations. This election cycle, our freedoms are under siege from opportunistic and power hungry politicians. These politicians are pushing dozens of bad laws in Sacramento, additionally, we face a new threat from an initiative that is being pushed by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom. Newsom’s initiative would do nothing to stop criminals and will cost law- abiding gun owners more time and money. Read more about this latest assault at www.coalitionforcivilliberties.com. The winning side of any election is the one that is able to most effectively mobilize their supporters to the polls. CRPA is working to get every gun owner registered and out to vote in June and November. To achieve this, we are taking advantage of advancements in communication technology and election strategy. If we are to be successful, CRPA must adopt these new technologies and techniques. To accomplish this, the CRPA needs your help to rebuild and optimize the CRPA campaign machine by donating to CRPA. Succeeding will also require each and every gun owner to rise up, vote, and get involved in reinvigorating the movement to protect the right to keep and bear arms. There are an estimated 18 million gun owners in California. If everyone steps up we could change the face of California. To do this, we need funds to register gun owners and get them to the polls. Another way to help is to volunteer, if you are able, please email [email protected]. Addition- ally, you can spread our message on social media and subscribe to CRPA’s alerts, then share and forward these messages to ALL of your friends. Dedicated individuals like you are the ones who secure and protect our rights for future generations here in California. Please help us continue this ongoing fight to ensure that common sense prevails.
