NRA Endorses Harris

Unified Sportsmen of Florida Concur

Tampa, FL -- Congresswoman Katherine Harris, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, received the endorsement of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Unified Sportsmen of Florida. Katherine Harris has an "A" rating from the NRA, in stark contrast to Bill Nelson's "F" rating.

In a letter to Congresswoman Harris, Marion Hammer, NRA Past President and current Executive Director of Unified Sportsmen of Florida states "You [have] been consistently strong in support of Second Amendment and self-defense issues and we sincerely appreciate your solid pro-sportsmen, pro-Second Amendment, pro-freedom record. Your outstanding and unblemished record on issues important to firearms owners and sportsmen demonstrates undeniable dedication to freedom and the Bill of Rights."

Congresswoman Harris strongly supports the rights of all lawful gun owners. As Florida's next Senator, Katherine Harris will continue to support legislation defending the right to bear arms and oppose any attempts to water down our cherished 2nd Amendment rights.

Nelson - Friend of the Left Receives MoveOn.org Endorsement

Tampa, FL - Bill Nelson, Florida's lackluster incumbent in the U.S. Senate race against Republican candidate Katherine Harris, has received the endorsement of MoveOn.org, a far-left political action group well-known for its defamatory television ads and radical attempts to recklessly pull our troops out of Iraq. Bill Nelson attempts to portray himself as a moderate, but his liberal voting record and political endorsement by MoveOn.org provide a much different picture of who Nelson actually represents.

Congresswoman Harris comments "I am not surprised by MoveOn.org's decision to endorse my opponent. Bill Nelson is out of touch with Florida values, and his record of opposing tax cuts and flip-flopping on important issues like off-shore drilling demonstrate why this race is so important for Florida."

MoveOn.org is heavily funded by George Soros, international financier and outspoken critic of the United States. Following the tragic events of September 11th, MoveOn.org decried U.S. attacks on Afghanistan, sympathizing with governments that harbor terrorists and insisting that these nations should not be held accountable for terrorist's crimes against our people. Driven to pull our troops out of Iraq at any cost, MoveOn.org produced inflammatory television ads depicting an American soldier descending into quicksand with a rifle held overhead in a surrendering posture. In another ad, Republicans were attacked for providing critical funds to ensure basic provisions for our soldiers in Iraq.

Bill Nelson can attract the endorsement of a group like MoveOn.org because his record in the Senate is far from mainstream. Nelson has voted against tax cuts, against marriage, against the Partial Birth Abortion Ban and he has voted for legislations that grants amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants, at great cost to our economy and national security.

As revealed in an article last year in the St. Petersburg Times, MoveOn.org circulated an email boasting of its power to influence the Democratic Party, declaring "Now it's our party: we bought it, we own it, and we're going to take it back." In an effort to "take back" the Democratic Party, MoveOn.org recently asserted its political might to help oust Joe Lieberman, a highly respected, devout moderate Democrat from Connecticut, from the Party's ticket. This is just one example of MoveOn.org's aggressive campaign to target mainstream Democrats and move the Party to the far-left. MoveOn.org champions an extreme agenda that is dangerous for America and certainly does not line up with Florida's values. Bill Nelson may benefit monetarily from MoveOn.org's ringing endorsement, but Florida deserves better!

Oh, that. Nyaa, that's just the scipt provided to the "network activist" astroturfers hired by MoveOn. Don't pay any attention to them. Remember when the Democrats opted for the "highly electable" John Kerry? That kind of advice doesn't always work.

Well, from what I can tell, the only question is whether Harris can at least do better than Alan Keyes against Obama. But this doesn't say much, especially given that Florida is much redder than Illinois.

Exactly.....Nelson, MoveOn.org & Moore....perfect together.

Gets across the message of who Nelson really is...He's way too liberal for FL and he votes with kennedy, kerry & klinton!

I have a feeling that Nelson will soon realize that the endorsement from Moveonorg. is a "poisonous" endorsement.

Yes... I'm sure the Harris Campaign will inform Floridians know that MoveOn.org has endorsed Nelson!

Bill Nelson and his liberal 'loser' friends: John Edwards & John Kerry.....

This NRA endorsement is a great Kodak moment as to what and who each candidate represents.

Doesn't Harris first have to get past McBride?

Surely you jest. McBride being in the primary is akin to a squirrel being in the path of a speeding SUV.

"Watch what happens after next Tuesday.....Some of the Big Elephants move slowly....but I believe they will back her after she wins the Primary!"

Agree.

Harris got 2 of 2 votes from this house Tuesday. We were very pleased with her appearance on 'Hardball'. She successfully kept the focus of the discussion on the differences with her true opponent, Nelson.

Any candidate endorsed by moveon.org is "the enemy within". Nelson doesn't represent FL.

Because two years ago, she was asked not to run for the Senate, and she obliged, and won a second term in the House.

She was ready then, and she is readier now.

>> Surely you jest. McBride being in the primary is akin to a squirrel being in the path of a speeding SUV. <<

If that was true you'd be completely ignoring the "unknown, last minute candidate who filed" instead of making up lies about him to deter people from voting against unelectable Katherine Harris.

If "Kid McBride" is such a joke and "akin to a squirrel being in the path of a speeding SUV", then why doesn't your gal grow a spine and debate him? If she can beat Nelson in a debate, she can beat "Kid McBride" and "Old Geezer Roy Collins", right?? WHAT do you have to lose? WHAT are you Harris fanatics so afraid of? I'd be more than happy to debate any candidate that I was crushing in the polls, and I wouldn't have to conduct any negative whispering campaign about him and spread lies like he "changed his last name"

Quick! Hide Saint Katherine from Kid McBride!! She is ENTITLED to the nomination and must not be forced to debate mere mortals!

Well, of course. You live a thousand miles away, and all you know about the race is what's in the mainframe media and what's in the MoveOn 'astroturfing' script that's plastered all over the web. You probably shouldn't rely on those to form your opinion of what might happen. No one else does.

Hide Kathy from her "unknown, liberal Democrat plants who filed at the last second" GOP opponents during the next four days! If we're successful she might be a pluraity of the primary vote, so we can conduct a suicidal campaign against Bill Nelson in November!

How DARE ANYONE else be ALLOWED to run against her highness!

Without her, Gore would be President! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAGH!!!
