>The Million Mom March united with the Brady Campaign, Gun Industry Watch 
>and the Mid- Atlantic Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence are going to send 
>the message -- loud and clear -- to the brass at H&R Block that they must 
>sever all ties with the NRA immediately or risk further protests and 
>forever be known for contributing to the epidemic of gun violence in 
>America. Please join us and raise your voice against H & R Block's greed 
>and irresponsibility.
>
>In the name of corporate and social responsibility, we are calling on H&R 
>Block to exercise sound judgment and immediately sever their "royalty 
>agreement" with the NRA. H&R Block's claim that it has not entered into an 
>agreement with the NRA simply because its "marketing to memberships 
>program" is administered by a separate company is their way of denying any 
>responsibility. Furthermore, H&R Block's statement that it is not 
>providing contributions to the NRA is simply not true. By entering into 
>this agreement, H & R Block is not only condoning the NRA leadership's 
>reckless agenda, it is funding and furthering it.
>
>Here's how you can let H & R Block know how you feel:
>    * Get involved in a protest site (see list below).
>    * If no protest site is near you, start your own local protest by 
> visiting the Gun Industry Watch website at: 
> <http://www.gunindustrywatch.org/>www.gunindustrywatch.org
>    * Log on to H & R Block's web site 
> (<http://www.hrblock.com/>www.hrblock.com) to send them an email.
>    * Call H & R Block Corporate Headquarters at 816-753-6900 and ask to 
> speak with President Mark Ernst.
