2 Very Important Updates
Update #1:
A Taxpayer-Funded Opposition Emerges
Already called you an “Extremist”The Fight to Repeal Chapter 135 Just Got Clearer. And Dirtier.
Today, a progressive organization called the Massachusetts Coalition to End Gun Violence—a group that was one of ten organizations to split an initial $1 million in taxpayer funds from Attorney General Andrea Campbell—officially launched a ballot campaign committee to oppose our repeal efforts.
Their committee's name? 👉 “Yes for a Safe Massachusetts.”
In their very first statement, their spokesperson Ruth Zakarin referred to you and me as “EXTREMISTS.” So much for our open invitation to engage in a civil, facts-based debate about violent crime and civil rights. They're already getting nasty.
FOLLOW THE MONEY – YOUR MONEY
The Civil Rights Coalition is not surprised that a competing ballot committee was formed. We are surprised—and outraged—that the same organization who formed the Ballot Committee, recently received a minimum of $50,000 of your tax dollars (on April 7, 2025) (awarded by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, who has committed an additional $100,000/month for the next two years to groups like this).
We never expected that our own taxpayer money would be used against us,
the taxpayers, to try and influence a Statewide Ballot Question.
Let that sink in:
Massachusetts Taxpayer Dollars are being used to defeat a Citizens’ Ballot Question.
A blatant conflict of interest with tax dollars being funneled thru a series of progressive political organizations within Massachusetts!
This must be investigated by the US Attorney immediately.

This funding arrangement would never pass the Red Face Test—and likely won’t pass a legal or ethical one either. It’s ethically wrong, morally wrong, and possibly a violation of law.
BLOCKING DEMOCRACY
Let’s not forget:
Governor Healey signed an Emergency Preamble 71 days after Chapter 135 passed—intentionally blocking our right to suspend the law until the 2026 election.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General has refused to support the will of 95,000 voters
who followed every legal step under the Massachusetts Constitution.
They ignore the voter’s vote on Question #1, Declare a “State
Emergency” to prevent suspension from our Citizen Petition… their steam
rolling over of voter and resident civil rights continues! Have they no
shame or decency?
We Have the People. They Have the Propaganda.
Good,fair-minded people across Massachusetts will see through their slick
marketing and taxpayer-funded messaging. We trust voters to make the
right choice.
✅ Vote to REPEAL Chapter 135 in November 2026.
🗳️ Because Rights Aren’t Privileges.
🛡️ Because Freedom Isn’t for Sale.

UPDATE #2:
URGENT CALL TO ACTION – MASSACHUSETTS ALERT
MANDATORY GUN REGISTRATION & SERIALIZATION
PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 28, 2025 @ 10:00AM
Attend online or call in – FLOOD THE SYSTEM!
Not a single criminal will register their illegal weapons or spend hundreds
of dollars serializing every firearm they have. The Goal of this
regulation, Part of Chapter 135, has a single purpose... and you all
know what that is!
This Isn’t About Public Safety!
Banning non-resident junior hunters?
Forcing law-abiding citizens to register and serialize every single firearm?
This has nothing to do with stopping violent crime—and everything to do with
expanding government control and attacking the 2nd Amendment of the US
Constitution.
We look forward to public debates and town hall forums. Because the solution is simple:
Lock up violent criminals. Stop releasing them.
Don’t punish the law-abiding for the failures of the system or the lack of
Prosperity within Urban Communities by failed progressivist policies!
We MUST act NOW.
Send your email. Copy your State Rep and Senator
Show up virtually.
Make your voice heard.
The goal is simple: Overwhelm the online hearing on May 28 at 10AM.
Email your testimony and comments!
Let them see the anger of FREE PEOPLE who will NOT go quietly into the night!
