Many of you have expressed to me a desire to be a part of, and
contribute to, a class-action lawsuit against those trying to
bankrupt the gun industry with frivolous lawsuits.
We now have a group that is established, that is not directly
affiliated with any pro-gun organization. Gun Owners Alliance
however, stands with this fine group to help in any way we can.
We sincerely hope that each and every pro-gun organization and
their grassroots strength, gun industry, and every civil rights
group that cherishes the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights,
will also stand with this group of fine people.
Texas Rep. Suzanna Hupp, Texas Rep. Rick Green, and other prominent
leaders, will be plaintiffs in this lawsuit. Rep. Suzanna Hupp is a
survivor of the Killeen, Texas Luby's massacre, and was instrumental
in her efforts to bring Concealed Carry in the State of Texas. She
remains to be a prominent leader in the right to keep an bear arms.
Rep. Rick Green's freshman session (76th session) was heralded by
being instrumental in offering the bill in Texas, that eventually
became law in September 1999, to prevent frivolous lawsuits in the
State of Texas against gun manufacturers. I personally know both
Texas Representatives, and have been greatly enriched by their
understanding of Constitutional issues.

##### BEGIN OPEN LETTER FROM REP. SUZANNA HUPP & REP. RICK GREEN
#####
Friends of the Second Amendment:
During the 76th Session of the Texas Legislature, Representatives
Suzanna Hupp, Rick Green, Ron Clark, Bob Turner, Ron Wilson, and
Senator Lindsay passed S.B. 717 to prohibit Texas cities from
suing the gun manufacturers. Despite our efforts here in Texas,
28 cities across the U.S. have filed frivolous lawsuits against
the gun manufacturers in an effort to achieve gun control through
the courts and bankrupt the industry.
Such lawsuits threaten the viability of gun stores in Texas and across
the nation. Colt Manufacturing has already announced that because of
the lawsuits they will no longer sell handguns to the civilian public.
In addition, Colt is in the process of buying H & K manufacturing and
has said that once the purchase is complete, H & K will no longer sell
handguns to the public. Most recently, Smith & Wesson has announced it
is up for sell. The events that have transpired as a direct result of
the lawsuits against the gun industry do not bode well for gun dealers
or gun owners.
As such, we and a few other Texas legislators have concluded that more
must be done to stop the assault on our constitutional rights. After
consulting legal experts, we have concluded that legal action can and
should be taken against the cities that have conspired to deprive us
of our rights. We are in the process of drafting a complaint that will
be filed in a federal district court in Texas.
We will have at least four state representatives who will sue on
behalf of themselves and their constituents alleging that the cities
have conspired to violate their right to keep and bear arms by using
the courts to impose gun control and threaten the gun industry with
bankruptcy.
In addition, several Texas gun stores will be plaintiffs in the
lawsuit
because of the cities' attempt to interfere with the gun stores'
ability
to participate in interstate commerce - a right that is protected by
the
Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
The right to keep and bear arms and the right to participate in
interstate
commerce are fundamental rights that must be protected. The mayors of
the
cities, empowered by the statutes creating their offices and by
ordinances
and resolutions passed by the city councils, have acted to deprive
Texas
citizens and gun stores of their protected rights and should be held
accountable in a court of law.
As you can well imagine, such a lawsuit will be an enormous
undertaking
that will tax the resources of the plaintiffs and attorneys who choose
to participate in the lawsuit. As such, we are asking that every
freedom
loving American make a donation to our legal fund, so that we can move
forward with the lawsuit and defend our Constitution from further
abuse.
If you are willing to contribute or would like more information,
please
contact our public relations director, Trey Blocker, at:
TreyBlocker@yahoo.com
Tell him how much you are able to contribute and how he can best
contact
you. Thank you for your assistance in this great effort to avert a
constitutional crisis.
Sincerely,
Suzanna Hupp
Texas State Representative
District 54
Rick Green

District 46
