Gun Owners of America Endorses Vicky Hartzler for Congress

From GOA, via email:

September 21, 2010


Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse Vicky Hartzler for Congress in Missouri's Fourth Congressional District.

Vicky served in the state legislature from 1995-2000, earning an A+ rating for her unwavering support of the Second Amendment. She is just the type of person we need to stand against the anti-gun agenda of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The incumbent representative, Ike Skelton, has shown his true colors in the current session of Congress by repeatedly siding with Pelosi on issues important to gun owners.

Three times in 2009 he voted against amendments to repeal a gun ban in national parks, while at the same time voting to massively expand the amount of federally controlled land.

And in 2010, Skelton voted for a bill that would strangle the First Amendment rights of groups like Gun Owners of America. The so-called DISCLOSE Act would impose a host of new restrictions on groups like GOA, effectively limiting our ability to hold individual congressmen accountable in the weeks leading up to an election.

Missouri's gun owners and sportsmen expect their elected officials to represent their interests, not those of the liberal House Speaker from San Francisco.

That is why Gun Owners of America stands with Vicky Hartzler. She will oppose any and all gun control schemes that come to the House floor, and she will fight to remove unconstitutional gun laws on the books.

Vicky gets it right when she says, "Only the people have Liberty -- Washington's power is on loan."

GOA urges all gun owners and sportsmen to get behind the Hartzler campaign by volunteering, putting out a yard sign, and contributing to this important race. You can visit www.vickyhartzler.com for more information.

And most importantly, please remember to vote for Vicky in the November election, and make sure your pro-gun family, friends and neighbors do the same.

Sincerely,

Tim Macy
Vice Chairman

Thank you, GOA, for making the right endorsement in this very important race. We gun rights people in Missouri appreciate you as the REAL gun rights organization in Washington, DC!

The GOA got it right! There is so much at stake in this election, and Vicky will stand strong for us, like she did when she was my state Representative. Ike is a snake these days. Why are people shocked when they pick up a snake and then get bit. Vicky Hartzler will be a good steward of our rights.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To prove to the possum that it CAN be done.
Why is it so hard for the NRA to endorse the best candidate?
We know. They don't want to work themselves out of a job.

This is about so much more than Vicky or Ike. Is another 2 years for Pelosi in charge what we need for gun rights? I support, as does the Speaker Education Project, a less partisan and divisive Speaker of the House next time around.
