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.
