The fight to protect our rights is never over, every election is crucial to defending freedom, and this year’s is no exception. There are enough seats in question in the House and Senate that control could be thrown back into the hands of the gun-grabbers who brought us the 1994 ‘assault-weapon’ ban.

From the NRA-ILS Grassroots Alert:

None of these pro-gun victories would have been possible with Pelosi, Conyers and Slaughter in control of the U.S. House of Representatives. The message for gun owners and sportsmen is obvious. Elections matter, and votes count. We cannot take our past victories for granted; we must continue the fight. Pro-Second Amendment candidates can only win if NRA members lend their support to those who support our gun rights and hunting heritage.

Mail in ballots are arriving here in Washington and across the nation. Take some time to sit down and vote this weekend, get those ballots back in the mail before they are buried by your stack of junkmail. While you are making your decisions take a look at the Gun Owners of America 2006 Voters Guide and the NRA Candidate Grades, they tell the real story of how a candidate acts, not what they say on the campaign trail.
