VCDL Surveys

[VBshooter]

I have sent my emails to these fine??people and am leaving a copy of the letter I sent if anyone wants to copy and paste it to send....

Dear candidate , It has come to my attention that you nor any of the other Democratic candidates have sent back your Virginia Citizens Defense League Survey,,,I find this very disturbing that none of you feel the issues asked about are worth your time to answer. Irregardless of which way you feel on gun issues , Filling out the survey would at least let potentil supporters know which way you are leaning,,, Not filling it out and sending it back shows either hostility toward gun owners or a lack of interest on your part in anything but your personal agenda,, If you lost or misplaced the survey a new one can be obtained by contacting Jim Snyder at VCDL http://us.mc398.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compo ... p@vcdl.org We feel these are very important issues and just saying you support the 2nd amendment and gun owners rights verbally is not sufficient to allow potential supporters to know where you stand. THank You and hope to hear from you ,Sincerely

1. VCDL Statewide Candidate Surveys
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The VCDL 2009 Statewide Candidate Surveys were mailed quite some time ago to all of the candidates running for statewide office.

http://www.vcdl.org/surveys/survey_2009_statewide.html

Unfortunately, none of the Democrats have responded. VCDL-PAC will only consider a candidate for endorsement if they've completed a survey.

What are these seven (7) candidates hiding? Why are they afraid to publicly take a position on this important issue? Why don't they want you to know their real position?

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

ACTION:

Please contact the campaigns of each candidate by BOTH email AND
phone EVERY DAY until the Primary on Tuesday, June 9. Politely,
but firmly, urge them to answer the VCDL survey. (Where more than
one phone number is provided for a candidate, call the number
closest to you.)

Don't accept vague generalizations such as "the candidate supports the 2nd Amendment". Remember, anti-gun zealot Chuck Schumer says he supports the 2nd Amendment, but his view is that it does NOT apply to you. Urge them to ANSWER THE VCDL SURVEY.

If they have misplaced their survey, have them contact VCDL's Vice-President, Jim Snyder, at vp@vcdl.org and he'll email them another copy.

Thanks for your help!

2. OpenCarry.org suggests an interesting Primary strategy
---------------------------------------------------------------------

OpenCarry.org (OCDO) has received a lot of press attention for suggesting an interesting Primary strategy which in part urges all registered voters **regardless of party affiliation** to vote in the Democratic primary on Tuesday, June 9th. Fascinatingly, some of the press is "up in arms" about the strategy OCDO is proposing and they are attacking OCDO pretty harshly.

Sounds like somebody's ox is getting gored

Please note that VCDL is not taking a position on the proposed strategy one way or the other.

Thanks, VB. I just looked over the survey. Not surprised it wasn't returned by any of the Democrats. I bet they shook in their shoes just reading it

We all need to send the same message to each and every one of these "fine" people.
