As a fellow gun owner, I am writing to respectfully request that you vote for my good friend Michael Conigliaro on Tuesday, November 4^th, 2014. Michael is running for New York State Senator in the 15 District and I know he will be a strong advocate for New York gun owners. Mr. Conigliaro shares our belief that the 2^nd Amendment of the United States Constitution should not be infringed upon by neither the Federal nor State governments.

Our governor and his anti-gun cronies in Albany are systemically disarming the citizens of New York and ignoring our State Constitution! Michael Conigliaro will fight to ensure that NY elected officials abide by the State Constitutional Provision, Article 2, Section 4 of the New York Civil Rights Law which provides: “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms cannot be infringed.”

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" -Thomas Jefferson

I know Michael and his family for many years. When elected, he will fight to take guns out of the hands of criminals and ensure that law abiding citizens have the means to protect their businesses, their properties, their families and themselves.

By voting for Michael Conigliaro on November 4^th, you will send someone to Albany who will fight for gun owners and work tirelessly to protect our 2^Nd Amendment right bestowed upon all American citizens!

Sincerely,

Michael Ricatta
