Ambassador Jean-David Levitte
Embassy of France
4101 Reservoir Road NW
Washington, DC 20007

Mr. Ambassador:

          It is our understanding that the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence is holding a combination birthday celebration and fundraiser at your embassy in Washington DC on September 28th of this year. The intent of our letter is to voice our objection to your embassy hosting this event.

          The goal of the Brady Campaign is to deprive American citizens of their right to privately own firearms for any purpose, with the assistance of the politicians and celebrities listed on the event's committees. The fact that you have chosen to give this destructive cause a venue tells us that you support their efforts to disarm American citizens.

          Our organization, Second Amendment Sisters, is dedicated to preserving the basic human right of self-defense, and the right of the American people to keep and bear arms as stated in the Second Amendment of our Constitution is essential to being able to protect life and liberty.

          France does not enjoy popularity among Americans at this time because of its weak stance on world terrorism. We cannot see that your aiding and abetting the destruction of the United States Constitution in partnership with the Brady Campaign will improve matters.

          If you support the Brady Campaign and their mission, please know that you find yourselves in direct opposition to nearly 100 million Americans who are gun owners.

          On behalf of those nearly 100 million gun owners, we ask that you reconsider hosting the Brady Campaign's event.

 

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors of Second Amendment Sisters, Inc.

Deb Altrath, President
Mari Thompson, Treasurer
Nancy Errea, Secretary
Lee Ann Tarducci, Director
Lynne Roberts, Director
