I thought you would like to know that the Republicans were the ones who sponsored the latest attempt at a AWB.Russell wrote:I vote straight ticket Republican not because I'm lazy, but because I want to make sure at every level of government there's a better than average chance that my second amendment rights, and conservative economic values, will be respected.
Libertarians have a much worse than average chance of getting elected. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.
H.R. 6257
Sponsor
* Rep. Mark Kirk [R, IL-10]
* and 4 Co-Sponsors
o Rep. Michael Castle [R, DE-0]
o Rep. Michael Ferguson [R, NJ-7]
o Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R, FL-18]
o Rep. Christopher Shays [R, CT-4]
Keep voting that straight ticket and preserving your rights.

Re: Sharing the wealth...
I agree that they should rate more of the candidates; I would even like it if they spend more money on that and less money on other miscellaneous mailers. However, they're still the best deal going for RKBA supporters; I suspect we would have waved goodbye to the Second Amendment long ago without them.Liberty wrote:One problem is that we can't get the NRA to do their job and rate all of our candidates.

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.

Thank you both! I know what the issues are from your posts here in the past. I agree it must have been a tough decision.
We greatly appreciate your support however.
