ELECTION TIME. A MESSAGE FROM OFFPAC |
Election
Time.
Dear Gun Rights Supporter,
The election is just a few short weeks away. I hope you are
registered to vote, but if you are not, please make it a priority.
The November election will surely be one of the most important
in our lifetime.
As a reminder, the Oregon Firearms Political Action Committee
has posted our candidate ratings here:
Neither of the major candidates for Governor responded to our
survey. (We did receive a response from the Constitution Party
Candidate Greg Kord who answered our survey 100%). We also received
no response from the major party candidates for Senator.
We cannot provide a recommendation on the Republican Candidate
for Governor, who ignored several requests (including one, in
person, on the Capitol steps) to respond to our survey, so we
have no idea where he stands.
He did tell us he had responded to the NRA’s survey. But
since you are not allowed to see those responses and since the
NRA
frequently supports anti-gun candidates like Harry Reid
and Kurt
Schrader (whom the NRA actually endorsed) we do not consider
that meaningful.(Schrader's opponent Scott Bruun has strong
pro-gun record.)
The Schrader endorsement is interesting since he voted to criminalize
private sales at gun shows, but since the NRA ignored that legislative
battle maybe it should not be that much of a surprise. What
it does mean is that the NRA is promoting a legislator who votes
with militant anti-gun Pelozi virtually all the time. Schrader
also voted in favor of the NRA approved "Disclose Act"
which was intended to silence organizations like OFF.
While we cannot recommend either Dudley for Governor or Huffman
for Senate since they simply refuse to take a stand on gun rights,
we can tell you that their principle opponents, Wyden in the
Senate race and Kitzhaber in the Governor's race are openly
and rabidly anti gun-rights.
OFFPAC strongly urges you to get involved in any way you can
in the next few weeks. The outcome of the election will not
only have a profound effect on your gun rights, it will determine
who may provide your healthcare and how much more it will cost,
how high your tax bill will go and how much more of your freedom
will disappear in the next few years.
Please, if a candidate in your district has not made their positions
clear, call them. Question them. And...vote.
