A WASTE OF TIME — or ESSENTIAL?

If you think getting Citizens Of America’s PRO-SELF

DEFENSE, PRO-FIREARM RADIO and PRINT ads

out to the national public is a WASTE OF TIME, then

you disagree with every product manufacturer, every

service company, every political party, and every

non-profit organization in the world.

In other words you are WRONG — because advertising

WORKS, whether its toothpaste or fundamental

philosophical issues.

And you’re wrong at a critical time — with ELECTIONS

coming up.

OUR GOAL — OUR METHODS

COA intends to radically change the public perception

of guns and gun control laws. How? The same way our

enemies have changed this nation, politically speaking,

from pro-gun to anti-gun — by utilizing the MASS

COMMUNICATIONS MEDIA.

On the surface, COA ads are about the right to own

and carry guns, but their underliying message is about

our natural right to self-defense, the impossibility of

24-hour government crime protection, the empowerment

of criminals by disarming citizens, and about politicians

elevating themselves above the people they were

elected to serve. These issues get under EVERYONE’S

skin.

For a more detailed explanation of our purpose, finish

reading and then go to: “WHAT GOOD ARE COA ADS?”

YOU WANTED IT, AND HERE IT IS

Heard this from a gun owner before? “We have all the

facts, the Constitution, and all the statistics on our side

but the public never hears them! If only the NRA would

stop preaching to the choir and get a pro-gun message

out to the public, the political debate would change.”

We heard it — and said it — too. So a group of

dedicated activists founded Citizens Of America for

this very purpose.

THE ADS

COA created strong, emotional, and factual radio and

print ads that hit the gut and tell the TRUTH about how

gun control endangers the public, especially women.

About how politicians hypocritically expect you to

disarm while they are protected 24 hours a day. About

how criminals LOVE gun control.

We think the ads are VERY effective. OTHERS AGREE:

pro-gun, pro-self-defense radio station managers run

them for free in many places. Volunteers across the

country are raising funds and running them locally.

COA officers have been interviewed dozens of times

on talk shows about the organization and our ads

To LISTEN to the radio ads, go to:

WHAT WE THOUGHT

Here’s what COA founders thought: There are an
estimated 80 million gun owners in America. If every one

of them contributed just $1 a year we’d have least $80

million to run these ads across the country. In fact, if only

one in a HUNDRED gun owners contributed a single dollar

a year, we would have $800,000 to get the ads out.

But we’ve had to make do with less than a TENTH of that

so far. Why? Because most gun owners who donate to

the pro-Second Amendment cause send $35 to the NRA

and figure they’re done for the year.

Consider this comparison: the executive vice president

of the NRA — ALONE — is paid more money IN FOUR

MONTHS than COA has raised — and put to work, HARD

– in nearly a year.

WHAT WE’VE DONE, WHAT WE CAN DO

In the ten months since we formed COA, this money has

been used to produce and run our ads in 42 states on

over 300 radio stations, and tens of thousands of our

print ads have been distributed.

We don’t waste it begging politicians to uphold the

Constitution, we don’t give it to politicians who have

voted against our rights because they’re the lesser of

two definite evils, and we don’t waste it sending out

hundreds of tons of fundraising mail which asks for

more money to send out a hundred more tons of

fundraising mail.

Visit our website and see what we’ve done with a tight

budget. Then imagine what COA could do if it were

PROPERLY FINANCED.
