GREAT NEWS! Last Sunday Bob and I had a very productive meeting with Jon Runyan who is running for US Congress in NJ's District 3. We left that meeting with the knowledge that Jon would be a staunch ally in gaining support for our Second Amendment Rights. This week the NRA gave Jon an "AQ" rating. Basically the "Q" simply means that since Jon has not yet held office, they are basing their rating on his stand rather than on a voting record. It is a VERY strong rating! CONGRATULATIONS Jon!

Good news. This guy deserves our support. He is in a tight race so every bit counts. I am pretty sure Runyan is the only candidate that is endorsed by the NRA at the federal level.

 

Also this is our chance as gun owners to show both the NRA and other candidates for public office in NJ that the 2nd amendment IS IMPORTANT to people in NJ. If Runyan is successful it will be easier to persuade other politicians to support the 2nd amendment because they will have the support of a very large voting bloc in NJ. If Runyans success can be attributed in some part to pro 2nd amendment groups like NJ2AS it will greatly raise the groups profile and influence.

 

I posted a similar thread yesterday but its seems to have been deleted for some reason.

AC, thanks for your post. I couldn't agree more.

 

If we as gun owners want to be seen as a force to be reckoned with *THIS* is our chance. Jon needs volunteers to make calls and such. I did it yesterday, and it is a piece of cake. They have this *REALLY* cool automated phone system. It has all the information already plugged into it. All you do is press a few buttons. It even automatically leaves a message if you get an answering machine. People are generally nice. They are looking for a change, and Jon can give it to them. So PLEASE consider volunteering.

 

I will be going back. I know most of you work, but if anyone is available on Monday around 2PM, it would REALLY help if you can show up. Jon will be there.

I attended the sportsmans rally last night. Mr Runyan was very open and direct in his support of the second amendmant. Interestingly it was discussed that his opponent is claiming to be but his voting record is in direct conflict with this position. In chatting with him he seemed well aware of current second amendmant ongoings which gave me the sense he is certainly paying attention. For the first time in my life I have placed a political sign on my front lawn, for Runyan.

WAY TO GO, SHANE!!!!

PLEASE, I encourage anyone else who is interested in having a PRO 2A US Congressman elected from NJ, to contact his campaign offices in Manahawkin and Toms River, and get some signs up, make some phone calls, talk to your friends and family who are eligible to vote in Congressional District 3. We need EVERY SINGLE VOTE we can get to push John Adler OUT THE DOOR. Jon Runyon got an *A* rating from the NRA, whereas Adler got a WELL-DESERVED *F*!!!!! Who would YOU rather have in the US Congress. AGAIN, you need to actually *DO* something about it if you want things to change.

 

Shane, please make the same post in all the other forums you participate in, and again THANK YOU!

is Toms River District 3? just curious.

Chris, it depends on where you are. According to your address, you are actually in the 4th Congressional District.. But I still recommend that you work to support Jon Runyan. He is a staunch supporter of our rights.
