[GOA News] Is the ATF Spying on Gun Owners?

You may have heard that intelligence agencies have spied on members of Congress, political protestors, and even congressional campaign donors—all without a warrant. Imagine what these rogue bureaucrats are doing to gun owners! You and I both know what an anti-gun tyrant could do with that information. Well, now you and I have a chance to stop them.

I used to play the same numbers for every Powerball, 2 drawings a week, $1 per draw, so $2/week. I knew it was a sucker game but I did it anyway.  They kept increasing the amount of numbers (lessening the already poor odds) and went to 3 drawings a week at $2 each.
Now, the big prize is in the billion dollar area.  What in the hell would a person do with that amount of money?  I used to dream of buying a small ranch, maybe a couple sections, but I'm getting too old for that. Even that wouldn't put a dent in the checking account. 
Assuming an after tax payout of 360 million (current prize), giving 20 million to 2af and goa, there would still be more left than a normal person could ever use, even if they were young.

I need you to take immediate action to help Gun Owners of America win a major victory in Congress. I am asking you to please add your name to our prewritten letter urging your congressman to vote for H.R. 705, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act.
