VCDL has sent surveys to the candidates in the upcoming January 12, 2010 Special Election for two Senate seats -- Senate District 08 (Virginia Beach - formerly held by Senator Stolle) and Senate District 37 (portions of Fairfax County - formerly held by Senator Cuccinelli).

Both of the Republican candidates have responded to the VCDL survey strongly pro-gun. Unfortunately, neither of the Democrats have responded.

What are they hiding? Why are they afraid to publicly take a position on this important issue? Why don't they want you to know their position?

Failure to return a completed survey frequently indicates indifference, if not outright hostility, toward the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Below, I have listed all the candidates in the January Special Election. Those who have already answered the VCDL Survey have a double asterisk
(**) before their name.

If you live in one of the districts below, please contact the campaigns of each candidate in your district by BOTH email AND phone. Urge those candidates who haven't responded to answer the VCDL Candidate survey. Be sure to contact Steve Hunt and Jeff McWaters and thank them for returning their surveys and for their strong and open support of your right to bear arms!

Not sure what District you're in? You can find out at: http://conview.state.va.us/whosmy.nsf/main?openform (Only your address info is required on this form.)

Maps of the two Senate Districts:

District 37: http://www.vcdl.org/images/SenateDistrict37map.gif

Don't accept vague generalizations such as "the candidate supports the 2nd Amendment". Remember, anti-gun zealot Chuck Schumer can probably say that he supports the 2nd Amendment, but his view is that it does NOT apply to you.

Find out what their real positions are by politely and firmly insisting that they complete the VCDL survey and send it in immediately. If they have misplaced their survey, have them contact me at vp@vcdl.org and I'll email them another copy.

Thanks for your help!
