SCOPE PAC needs donations Ken Mathison, Treasurer SCOPE PAC

You should all know that SCOPE has a Political Action Committee (PAC) whose sole purpose is to collect money to donate to deserving Second Amendment candidates and incumbents. I have always said that if all gun owners donated one dollar a month to the SCOPE PAC we would have millions of dollars to work with. So, I'm asking all SCOPE members to donate one dollar per month (more if you can) to the SCOPE PAC. You can do that through an auto- matic deduction from your credit card, bank account with your debit card, or through a PayPal account if you have one. All you need to do is visit www.scopepac.com, click on the Donate button, and follow the instructions. Money is the grease of the political machine, if we have significant money we can grease the machine in our favor.
