Minnesota carry permit holders, gun owners and freedom lovers:

Representative Larry Howes sponsored the MCPPA restoration bill in the House last year, and he got it done.

Now the antis have set their sights on him. We're not gonna let that happen, are we?

The cool thing is this: a contribution of $100 for married couples, $50 for individuals will be COMPLETELY REFUNDED TO YOU by the state. So all it would cost you is a little time to stick the check in the mail.

(Here is the Minnesota refund program information)
(And here is the form)

I'm doing it; you should too.

Below is a fundraising letter from Larry, then a blog entry from Joel.

Tell your friends.

Dear MPPA Supporter,

Recently someone emailed me an article from a newspaper in England titled, "A&E Doctors are Calling for a Ban on Long Pointed Kitchen Knives to Reduce Deaths from Stabbing."

Look like another ban is only an ocean away.

On that not-so-encouraging thought, I'm writing to ask for your help. As chief author of the re-enactment of the Personal Protection Act, anti-groups are already organizing to defeat me and gain this seat in the Minnesota House. The best way to stop them is for my campaign to start early, and I am. Your contribution of 10, 25, or a fully-refundable 50 dollars, will show my opponents that thier efforts will not succeed.

Thank you for your help and encouragement during the debate and passage of the MPPA; without you it would not have happened.

Remember, any contribution up to $50, is refundable through the Minnesota Department of Revenue. After I receive your contribution, I will send you a receipt and form to fill out. A few weeks after you mail it in, you get your money returned to you. Please make checks payable to the Howes Volunteer Committee.

Thank you,

<pen-signature>

Scalps

When the MCPPA passed in 2003, the antis went after the political scalp of Lynda Boudreau, the chief author of the bill in the House. With carry reform off the table, she didn't get the support from the self-defense community that she should have, and her opponent squeaked out a win. Rebecca Thoman and the ill-named "Citizens for a Safer Minnesota" gloated over that on their website, and waved Lynda's political scalp about like a trophy.

Not good.

Not again. Larry Howes was the House member who shepherded the bill through the House this time, just as Pat Pariseau was the Senator. Pat hasn't, as far as I know, started fundraising. Larry has, as the anti groups have already started organizing to add his political scalp to their collection. I strongly encourage everybody who appreciates his essential work on getting the MCPPA repassed to do what I just did: put a check in the mail.
