Below is a copy of an open invitation I received in the mail:
Dear New York NRA Member:
On Sunday, September 28, from 1:00pm to 4:30pm, the Sportsman's Association for Firearms Education Inc (SAFE) will be presenting the 2014 Firearm Civil Rights Conference. ALL Candidates from both major Parties are invited. This is an opportunity for all currently elected officials as well as those seeking public office to come to a meeting and learn why individual firearms ownership is such an important issue. It is said that all elections are local and this will be the only opportunity you will get to mingle with almost 1000 law-abiding firearm owners and voters on Long Island at one time. You will have a chance to listen to special guest speakers including: NRA President James W. Porter II, President/Founder of SAFE as well as NRA and NYSRPA Board Member John L. Cushman, and Candidate for Governor of New York Rob Astorino, as well as many other voices from the Second Amendment Community.

I wish I could attend, but I will be working. Please pass this information along to anyone you feel may be interested. Thank you.
..It looks like this could be potentially a very important event for Long Islanders / New Yorkers. Muster, assemble, congregate, gather, represent, the time is now. Be seen, be heard. Spread the word..
..Thanks Barbie, JW....
