Subject: TX: Suzanna Gratia Hupp runs for 54th State District

[I'm distributing this message broadly (using a bcc).  As Pete
Kassler reinforces, Dr. Gratia Hupp is a strong, principled
person worth supporting.  She is clearly dedicated to protecting
and expanding self-defense rights.  The country would be a **lot** 
better off if more people of her character ran for office.  -- Jeff C.]

Please forward to your group, list or board

I heard a piece on the local news, last night, that said Dr. Suzanna Gratia 
Hupp is running for the State Legislature in the 54th District of Texas.  In 
case any of you don't recognize the name, she is the survivor of the Luby's 
Massacre in Kileen, Texas who, instead of crawling into the waiting arms of 
Sarah Brady, became one of our most articulate Second Amendment Spokes Folks.  
Her parents were killed in front of her eyes and she couldn't do a thing about 
it.

Instead of whining and sniveling about what a poor, unfortunate victim of gun 
violence she was, she went on national television and said (paraphrased) "If 
I'd had my gun in my purse where it belonged instead of my car, I'd have 
killed the #*x@*%> or died trying and damn all politicians who rob me of my 
God-given right to defend myself."

So I called her, this morning, and asked her if I could put up a notice on the 
net announcing her candidacy.  Dr. Gratia Hupp understands a basic fact of 
life and probably understands it better than any of us.  As I say in one of my 
sigs:   [... -- Jeff C.]  "A politician who wants to take your guns is 
figuring on taking everything you've got."

I don't have a clue as to her positions on anything but guns, I didn't ask.  
Realized after I hung up that I didn't even ask if she was a Democrat or a 
Republican.  I frankly don't care.  In the same sense that we went after Tom 
Foley and helped Mike Foster, I believe we should give Suzanna any help we can 
with her campaign.  If she isn't worthy of our help no one is.

You can send a check to
