Friday, July 11 - Second Amendment Freedom Rally in Chicago

From the ISRA

Friday July 11, 2008 from 11:00am - 1:00 pm at the
James R. Thompson Center
100 W. Randolph St. in Chicago

The first rally of its kind in the history of Chicago!

Come celebrate the the US Supreme Court's recent ruling that the
Second Amendment to the Constitution protects an individual right.

Join the launch of a renewed
push for Concealed Carry legislation in Illinois!

Featured Speaker:
Dr. Suzanna Hupp - Former Texas Legislator

Dr. Suzanna Hupp is recognized worldwide as one of the leading advocates for an individual's right to carry a concealed weapon. In 1991, after leaving her gun in her car in order to comply with the law, Suzanna watched helplessly as both her parents, along with 21 others were gunned down in a mass shooting at a local restaurant. As a survivor of this tragedy, her impassioned calls for the right of citizens to self-defense have thrust her into the national debate on the right to keep and bear arms. Since the Killeen massacre, she has testified numerous times across the country for the restoration of the Second Amendment.
