GOA-PVF Supports Doug Hoffman in New York Special Election October 27, 2009

Dear Friend of the Second Amendment,

You may have heard about a special Congressional election taking place next week in upstate New York. The race features a Nancy Pelosi Democrat and a Republican with long-standing ties to ACORN against a genuine pro-gun leader named Doug Hoffman.

Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse Doug Hoffman in this race.

Doug Hoffman is a 100% gun rights supporter who will be a leader in the battle to defend the Second Amendment.

Doug Hoffman Mr. Hoffman believes that laws restricting your right to keep and bear arms is no way to fight crime.

As the next Congressman from New York, Doug Hoffman will fight hard against the gun control schemes coming out of Nancy Pelosi’s office and he will work to repeal unconstitutional gun laws on the books.

One of Doug Hoffman’s opponents, Bill Owens, will be just another YES vote for radical anti-gun House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He refuses to let voters know where he stands on specific gun control issues, which enables him to play it both ways on the Second Amendment.

Politicians like this are slowly destroying our right to keep and bear arms.

Mr. Hoffman’s other opponent, Dede Scozzafava, voted in 1999 for the kind of “study” of gun “safety” that is so often used by the gun prohibitionists as a backdoor to greater and more intrusive regulation. Attacking gun owners’ rights under the cover of “safety” is a favorite tactic of the anti-Second Amendment crowd and she voted for it.

She also voted in 1999 to stick gun owners with a burdensome reporting requirement when a gun is stolen. Under that law, the victim of a gun theft can be criminally prosecuted if the theft is not reported quickly enough to suit the authorities. This type of law turns the victim into a criminal.

These are not the votes of a 100% defender of the Second Amendment.

In addition, this candidate has close ties to the radical anti-gun group ACORN. The current leader of ACORN, Bertha Lewis, also co-founded New York’s Working Families Party—a party that supported Scozzafava in past elections.

The right choice for gun owners in this election is clearly Doug Hoffman.

One recent poll shows Mr. Hoffman with a slight lead in the three-way race, but the election is all about voter turnout. In the last few days of the campaign Doug needs our financial help to reach out to as many pro-Second Amendment voters as possible.

Your contribution of $25, $50, $100, or more at http://www.doughoffmanforcongress.com will help Doug Hoffman stay on the air, speaking directly to voters.

Your support of Doug Hoffman will send a strong message to Congressional leaders of both parties in Washington—a message that says NO to Nancy Pelosi’s gun control agenda and NO to more business-as-usual politicians.

We need representatives who are willing to “rock the boat” on Capitol Hill, and Doug Hoffman is just that type of candidate. Please go to http://www.doughoffmanforcongress.com right away!

Sincerely, Tim Macy Vice-Chairman

“And Michelle Bachmann - the first incumbent Republican to endorse Hoffman. She did so about 6-8 hours before Sarah. The GOP women are gutsy.”

I love Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin, and agree! But I would say it is the “conservative women” who are gutsy!

We Freepers all across the US need to do everything we can to spread the word about Doug Hoffman for Congress in New York, Chris Cristie for Governor in New Jersey, and Bob McDonnell for Governor in Virginia! And then when attention is tuned to the special election in January for Kennedy's old Senate seat, we need to spread the word about MA St.Senator Scott Brown who is running for US Senate!

PLEASE Freepers Everywhere! Register on your particular State Free Republic Forum and stay informed about events and candidates running in your state! We can make it happen next week and in 2010 if we work together to spread the word about constitutional conservative candidates!

Stupidly, the NRA endorsed Scozzafava.

Another one of their "compromises"? Sometimes I think the NRA is awful jealous of GOA, they are getting lukewarm on our self-defense freedoms.

Speaking as a life member, the NRA is a great defender of our 2nd amendment rights but they are strictly a one-issue organization. They have given Max Baucus (D-MT) an A+ rating as well. I'm sure there are others.

And that is why he’s not getting the endorsement of the NRA. No voting record.

I know. It’s not a perfect system but I can’t count the number of times the NRA has been burned by want to be’s who will say anything to get into office.

Kinda hard to get jealous of something that never does anything.

For the upteenth time, I’m going to ask the same question. When has the goa ever done a single thing on their own?

In fact, I’ll go first. Morton Grove, Illinois no longer has that gun ban because of the NRA. Your turn.

Yup - after Hoffman wins Newt will be out saying that was his strategy or Little Dicky Morris will say it. One or the other.

I didn't say he was looking for an endorsement? Where are you getting that from?

He has the endorsement from Gun Owners of American-PVF.

the NRA has been burned by want to be’s who will say anything to get into office.

Yeah, they set themselves up to be burned by 'wanna be' Dede - running as a Republican but who is more liberal than the democrat running. NRA endorsed her.

Not in the least. I simply asked what the AWOL goa has ever done and don’t even expect an answer.

I used to support them and finally realized sending money to the goa was a big waste. They are simply a Tshirt company that sends out emails once in awhile. Nothing more.

I gave directly to Doug Hoffman’s campaign, not the GOA. I hope he wins.

Add the Home School Legal Defense Association to that stellar list. I just got an email from them today endorsing Doug and requesting financial support.
