Who is thees. . .
Miguel Cartero?
No revolutionary movement can succeed without the vision and guidance
of its leaders. GOLF is no exception. The Gun Owners Liberation
Front was founded by Miguel Cartero in the wake of the passage of the
Omnibus Crime Bill in 1994. Sensing the inability, or unwillingness,
of mainstream gun groups to halt the headlong move toward victim disarmament,
Cartero realized that gun owners must take the offensive if they entertain
any hope of regaining the rights they've lost in the 20th century.
Time and again the mainstream groups have circled their wagons to await the
repeated assaults of the savage forces of disarmament. Time and again they
have capitulated in a futile attempt to appease these dishonest, yet
consistent, barbarians bent on the destruction of one of the most sacred
human rights guaranteed to Americans. But time and again, with the ink still
wet on the last "compromise", the forces of disarmament have launched
their next attack. Never - NEVER - have the mainstream groups
launched an attack of their own to regain the ground they lost in the last
battle. Instead they have continually blamed their repeated defeats on
"the liberal media", or "backstabbing politicians" - rather
than their own cowardice.
Like many patriotic gun rights advocates, Miguel Cartero has watched with
great dismay the piecemeal destruction of the 2nd Amendment. But the most
disconcerting aspect has been the tactic of the mainstream "gun rights"
establishment to use the fear of "gun control" to increase its
membership and pry more money from it - while, at the same time, lobbying in
the back rooms for the very legislation it publicly pretends to oppose.
The last straw came in the aftermath of the passage of the Omnibus Crime
Bill during the 1994 election season. The "gun rights" movement
went to the wall for many of the same politicians they were publicly
lamenting had stabbed them in the back. The time had obviously come for a
new approach - and a new group - to defend the right of Americans to
keep and bear arms. Thus was born the Gun Owners Liberation Front.
What Does Miguel
Do For Fun?
The first target of GOLF's ire was U.S. Senate candidate Jon Kyl, R-AZ.
In June of 1994, then Congressman Kyl enlisted the help of 20 or so gun
rights advocates to gather the nominating petition signatures he needed to
have his name placed on the ballot in the Republican primary. He personally
assured these people that there could be no more compromise where the 2nd
Amendment was concerned - and that was why he needed their help. They
took Kyl at his word and went out to gather the signatures he needed. Then,
in late August, Kyl rewarded their efforts by voting FOR the Crime
Bill. His reward for this duplicity? An A- rating by, and the endorsement
of, the Nauseating Republican Apologists.. Similar
stories were being told across the U.S. of the "gun rights"
establishment rallying in support of traitors like Kyl.
Needless to say, the dedicated individuals whom Kyl betrayed were not
pleased - and neither was Miguel Cartero. Over the next two months Cartero
set to work preparing his Sink Kyl guerilla fax
attack which was launched in late October. This consisted of artwork for a
Jon Kyl urinal target, which was broadcast, via GOLF's fledgling fax network,
around the state - and even around the country. While it proved to be too
little, too late to derail Kyl's Senate campaign, it did provide a model upon
which to build a national electronic network of true gun rights
advocates.
Now, in 1995, Cartero is taking his network national with the
Promissory Newt campaign to give the Republicans
the Balls they need to restore our right to keep
and bear arms. But he can't do it alone. If you have a computer with a
fax/modem, Uncle Miguel Wants You!
