Dear Mr. _________,

We are vehemently opposed to Holder's nomination and are working with a number of U.S. Senators to try and prevent his appointment. Eric Holder is a radical enemy of the Second Amendment, and we will do what we can to keep him out of office.

Using our influence with the U.S. Senators is the most prudent and effective strategy we can use to stop him. He is not currently under indictment for any crime, so there is nothing legally prohibiting from taking office except the need for U.S. Senate approval. If there were, I can assure you that we use all of our power and influence to use that against him.

I can assure you that we've made it perfectly clear to the Senate that Holder is our enemy, and that voting in favor of his appointment will have serious consequences in future relations with the NRA. I understand that there are a number of rumors on the internet criticizing the NRA, but please understand that we cannot release any more information beyond what I've written here. We are doing everything we can.

Please review this recent letter Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox sent to Senator Patrick Leahy and Senator Arlen Specter:

Cordially,

Yeah, we saw that.

Ar least they're not ending their correspondences with "rest assured" any more.

I'd sure like to see one of those internet rumors pointed out to me. Most of what I've seen have been pretty dead on, albeit they missed the point about Holder not being a strong enough champion for federal gun control edicts.

I guess some will argue this "strategy" is "prudent." Any bets on how "effective" it will be?
