Subject: Mistaken Identity

Please be advised ... to all who have heard a recent United
States political ad on the radio, the person speaking is NOT
Jim Shockey. We have received many e-mails from fans who have
mis-heard the person's name.

This radio ad is approved by the Obama campaign, and the speaker
is Ray Schoenke, the president of the American Hunters and
Shooters Association (AHSA). He pronounces his name such that
it sounds like "Shockey." Jim, obviously, has no affiliation
with this group.

We would GREATLY appreciate it if all of you who read this would
help to clear Jim's good name. As you can imagine, Jim has taken
some unfair criticism as a result of this mistaken identity.

The fact that people don't take the time to investigate the
facts before they lash out has caused substantial confusion.
Many of Jim's TV sponsors, licensees and business partners have
received e-mails and phone calls from angry consumers saying
that they will never again buy their products. As you can see,
this kind of error on the part of folks who rush to judgment can
turn into more than just a rumor. It can begin to impact an a
person's livelihood and reputation.

Here is a statement from Jim: "I am 100 percent for gun
ownership by law-abiding citizens. As a Canadian I cannot vote
in U.S. elections, of course, but I would never ever support
any candidate who is anti-gun."

Thank you for your support and helping to spread the word.
Please consider forwarding this important statement of fact to
any and all persons on your e-mail list so that they can help
us to clear Jim's good name.
