Republican Primaries 11 June 2013 - VGOF endorsements
- Click to view Forum Topic (including any replies): There are a lot of districts that will be holding primaries for Republican House seats in Richmond. I've tried to put together information from a few different sources to try to get as clear of a picture as possible regarding who should get our vote based only on their stances on firearms.

This is my first attempt to weigh in with any elections, so hopefully, I don't break something

Dist 6
Jeff Campbell endorsed by NRA and by VGOF, though he did not answer the VCDL survey.

Dist 15
Todd Gilbert - VCDL-PAC endorsed and VGOF endorsed

Dist 16
Les Adams
Kenneth Bowman
Both candidates answered the VCDL survey, but neither has a record to run on - VGOF is neutral in this race

Dist 19
Terry L Austin
Zachary Hatcher
Zach Martin
James K McKelvey
No survey answers - nothing known about these candidates. This primary is to replace an incumbent that's retiring. No endorsement from VGOF for any candidate.

Dist 28
Craig Ennis answered the survey, but OPPOSES allowing guns on K-12 property. Probably still a big improvement over Howell - we need some new blood here and getting rid of Howell's games in the House would certainly mix things up.

Dist 29 & 54
Beverly Sherwood (incumbent) / Mark Berg (challenger)
Bobby Orrock (incumbent) / Dustin Curtis (challenger)
Both incumbents have a lengthy record of pro-gun votes, but both refuse to go on record with their positions. Both challengers answered the VCDL survey 100%, but have no record to run on. So, you're left to vote for history with no promises or promises with no history. Vote your gut on this one - no VGOF endorsement for any candidate.

Dist 33
VGOF endorses David LaRock

Dist 85
VGOF endorses Scott Taylor

Make sure to get out and vote tomorrow!; Top

Bloomberg Tyranny Tour in Blacksburg THIS Friday, June 21st
- Click to view Forum Topic (including any replies): 1. Bloomberg Tyranny Tour in Blacksburg THIS Friday, June 21st!
2. VCDL needs help manning booth at Manassas gun show THIS weekend!

********************************************************************
1. Bloomberg Tyranny Tour in Blacksburg THIS Friday, June 21st!
********************************************************************

VCDL is planning a protest at the first Virginia stop for the Bloomberg gun-control tour. The event is scheduled for 9:30 AM at an empty lot in Blacksburg.

The address is:

200 Clay St. SE
Blacksburg, VA

The event currently has no set ending time and I plan on hanging around as long as the antis are there. I expect it will last several hours.

I will be bringing some signs for people to carry, but feel free to bring your own if you wish. Here's some ideas for wording if you wish to "roll your own":

Guns Save Lives
N0 more gun control!
Universal background checks = gun registration Gun control kills!
Keep your hands off my liberty
Gun control failure: Chicago

The tour has been trying to recruit people at Virginia Tech so they can have a friendly audience for their message.

We fully expect the press will be at this event. We need a good turnout so we can make sure our messages gets heard loud and clear! If you can only come for a little while, that is OK. So you don't get too thirsty, you might want to bring a large sugary drink to enjoy.

You can park in the nearby Kent Square parking garage.

I will be in contact with the police to let them know that we plan on protesting the event.

I will send an update on VA-ALERT when the event begins wrapping up.

********************************************************************
2. VCDL needs help manning booth at Manassas gun show THIS weekend!
********************************************************************

We just received a confirmation of a table at Southeastern Guns and Knives show at Prince William Fairgrounds, Manassas this weekend. I know this is short notice, but we need volunteers ASAP.

June 22 9 am to 1 pm and 1 pm to 5 pm
June 23 10 am to 1 pm and 1 pm to 4 pm

Send an email to Richard Kroh to volunteer:

NOVAgunshows@vcdl.org
