Please protest the UN's proposed Global Gun Ban plan

mehulkamdar · Post by **mehulkamdar** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 10:09 pm

Friends,

Kofi Annan's band of bandits has decided to hold a UN Global Gun Ban Convention on July the 4th specifically to insult the USA because it is Independence Day here. The details can be accessed online at http://www.stopungunban.org/

The NRA of the USA has a campaign on to protest this and while we send letters from here, it would be nice if shooters from other countries would send their protest messages by e-mail through the United Nations website http://www.un.org/ where they have feedback links.

My personal thanks to all who send messages protesting this.

Mack The Knife,

Please send your mail to [email protected] with a CC to [email protected]

No need to send snail mail from India.

Thanks buddy, and I hope more people send the ultimate bureaucracy their protest e-mails.

No need to thank me but thanks for bringing this to my attention. That bunch at United Nutters have been getting on my tits for some time now.

Thanks, Mack The Knife, the last link is a contact form that could be used by those who wish to e-mail the UN-honourable bureaucrats.

Thanks again,

I'll send them e-mails as well as the postcards.

WHAT! FOR FREE?

Will write it in the evening. At the moment the brain is in zombie mode due to lack of sleep.

Good on you for speaking up.

Could we have a show of hands of how many have done the needful.

Mehul, could you use your Moderator's facilities to send a link to this thread to all IFG members via e-mail, with a request to do the needful? It may be too late before all 200 odd members read this thread.

Copy and paste each of the three letters to e-mail and send it to [email protected]

That is, one e-mail per letter.

Hope that helps.

Sent the three mails ( modified to indicate that they are from India) with results similar to that of Mack The Knife.

The auto response give me a feeling that these won't be read as all mails
to that ID might be treated as enquiries only.

Mehul,

Any other IDs ? I would like to write the NRA also but could not locate
their mail IDs.

Thanks for sending the mails, Sujay. The NRA website is www.nra.org You might be happy to know that one of their spokespeople is Andrew Arulanandam, an Indian.

That said, they are a fine group and I had a great time at the convention. Their website is www.nra.org and you should be able to mail them through the site.

Which reminds me that I haven't yet typed in the price lists for you yet. I'll do that over the weekend - sorry about the delay.

Thanks again and I hope that mroe members send the protest mail.

Cheers,

Mehul

Mehul,

The price list is not that urgent and necessary. I have a fair idea of the
prevailing prices.

Even though I am not directly affected by the agenda of Kofi Annan at present ,his actions are really giving me creeps

How on earth the UN has dared to hold the convention on 4th of July

Can't Bush who regularly tramples this body prevent this ???? If you
run into Shashi Tharoor, do carry out your agenda
