Vote Freedom First On Tuesday, November 5!

Friday, November 1, 2002

This is it! Election Day 2002Tuesday, November 5. Your actions today will determine the course of the debate on Second Amendment-related issues as well as the future of our freedoms for years to come. The only way we will win and freedom will prevail is if you, and every other pro-gun voter you know, goes to the polls on Tuesday, November 5, and Votes Freedom First! You must vote for pro-gun candidates on Tuesday, and spread the word far and wide to others who share our commitment to freedom.

To assist you and your fellow pro-gun voters in making an informed decision on Tuesday, please refer to your NRA-PVF Candidate Endorsements list that was contained in your November NRA magazine. You may also log on to www.nrapvf.org to find that information.

We must finish the job we began in 2000 by Voting Freedom First on Tuesday, November 5!

Voter turnout for this year’s elections is expected to be extremely low—perhaps even historically low—so while it may sound cliché, every vote will count, and the vote of the pro-Second Amendment community will be amplified! Many past elections, even federal races, have been decided by a mere handful of votes, so it is imperative that the pro-gun community doubles and redoubles its efforts to turn out the vote for candidates who strongly believe in defending our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Please share information about pro-gun candidates with your family, friends, and fellow firearm owners, and make sure that they too get to the polls and Vote Freedom First on Tuesday. The future of the Second Amendment hinges on your actions on Election Day.
