VCDL's Protest of Eric Cantor's Anti-Gun GOP Roundup
********************************************

Congressman Eric Cantor (R-7th), continues to hold his annual roundup at Snag-A-Job Pavillion at Innsbrook in Glen Allen, where lawful carry of guns are banned.

VCDL tried to work with Cantor and the 7th District GOP Chairman, Linwood Cobb for several years, to move the event to one of several venues that we identified as being pro-gun. One of our members even offered to pay any cost differential.

Ultimately we were strung along, ignored, and even told that "no one needs to bring a gun."

Last year, 325 of you joined VCDL's first Freedom Rally protest of Cantor's anti-gun fundraiser, which forced Cantor to defend his position to the press. In characteristic politician-speak which takes us all for fools, he blamed the property owners of the venue where he holds his annual events.

Would he also expect to be excused if he held a fundraiser at a club that banned women or minorities because it was the club's policy, not his?

At the end of last year's roundup, Linwood Cobb defiantly challenged gun owners by declaring Cantor's event would again be held at gun-banning Snag-A-Job Pavillion this year.

So mark your calendars for Saturday, October 2!

This year we will be much more focused on everyone being lined up at the entranceway to Cantor's event during the short period when Roundup attendees are arriving. It will not be an all day event like last year, just two hours of maximum concentration and visibility, with many more protest signs.

We can anticipate press coverage again, and numbers are our strength. We need YOU! Please stand with us from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. (Cantor's event begins at 3:00 p.m.) on October 2.

The pavilion is located at 5236 Cox Road, Glen Allen, 23462. Parking will be very limited along the roadway there, but other limited parking may be available at the Shoppes at Innsbrook at the intersection of Cox and Broad (and be sure to patronize those shops which supported us so well last year). Carpooling helps. Arrive early so you have plenty of time to park and be on station by 2:00 p.m. VCDL facilitators in clearly marked safety vests will be on site.

*** Needless to say, we urge you NOT to attend Cantor's event or to provide financial support to this act of hypocrisy! ***

In order for us to get a headcount, if you plan on attending send an email with the subject line: "Cantor protest: x", where "x" is the number attending, to Dennis O'Connor at:

Dennis@vcdl.org

Only the subject line of your email will be viewed and not the actual content, which I suggest you just leave empty.

See you there!

[Virginia2AM]

I hope to see lots of VGOF folks there. Those of you in the 7th District - don't forget - you have a great alternative candidate to vote for. He does not have R or D attached to his name, he follows the Constitution, belongs to VCDL and GOA, and respects private property rights over federal gov't desire to take your land from you.

His name is Floyd Bayne. He does not have voting record, but he comes with personal expertience in running a business, providing security service, dealing with local and federal gov't officers. Please check out the website - www.floydbayne.com. Check the youtube videos - just search for his name. You can listen podcast of his interviews on Doc Thompson's show dated 9/23/10.

We will be at the protest and will have few of Floyd's campaign's yard signs with us. If you live or work anywhere in 7th District and think you can display the sign in a good visible spot - let me know, find me in the crowd - just ask VCDL people to point Leyla Myers to you.

Thanks
