This is genuine, folks.  It was sent to me by one of my subscribers.  I made the call and used *67 to anonymize my phone number.  Please don't reply to this, as the 4,800 of you are clogging up our business email.  (We know you love us ... or hate us.  Oh, and UNSUBSCRIBE is at the bottom of every email.).  Just please pass it along.

Subject: Gun control in Cook County, Illinois
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008

Greetings all:

Please take the time to voice your opinion regarding our rights which are supposed to be protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

It seems Larry Suffredin and his cohorts on the Cook County Board are up to their old tricks again.  In order to justify passage of gun control ordinances designed to close all gun shops and ban and confiscate most guns owned by citizens of the county, the Cook County Board is conducting a telephone poll where callers can vote for or against the gun control ordinances.  If you would like to participate in this poll (YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT OF COOK COUNTY TO DO SO), please take the following steps:

Call 1-312-603-6400 and select Option #1 when prompted.  At the next prompt, select Option #1 again.  Then, when prompted to vote on the gun control ordinance, press #2.

Please consider forwarding this alert to all your relatives, friends and acquaintances who are interested in the cause of freedom and liberty and ask them to participate in this as well.
You might also wish to post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards or blogs to which you belong.
