GRE Round Up for Apr. 29

There's some good stuff being turned out by the Gun Rights Examiners. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.

A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."

These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

Here are their latest offerings:

Dan Bidstrup/Denver:
Updates on Philippine elections and Denver gun show shooting last March

John Longenecker/Los Angeles:
Safer Streets 2010: Invigorating the electorate via college students.

John Pierce/Minneapolis:
The man who single-handedly scuttled voting rights for DC

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Go. Read. And please share these links.

You're doing that, right?

Nevada District 1 Congressional Candidates Answer Gun Rights Questionnaire

The incumbent, Shelley Berkley, has earned an "F" rating from Gun Owners of America, and that alone should motivate gun-owning constituents to pink slip her. "On the Issues" tells us NRA gave her an "F" in 2003, that she backs nonsense like "smart guns" and waiting periods--although it does look like she changed positions on suing gun manufacturers.

Here are two challengers to consider for unseating Berkley, Michele Fiore and Craig Lake... [More]
