Ohio democrats have removed backing for secretary of state candidate Jennifer Garrison, driving her out of the race. Her support of gun rights was cited as one reason why according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Garrison, a lawmaker from Marietta, was urged by Gov. Ted Strickland last year to seek the office. But since then Garrison's conservative stance on issues such as opposing abortion rights and supporting gun rights, has riled some within the Democratic base, especially labor groups. That forced party leadership to push her out of the race.
Garrison's political views have been labeled as too conservative by some Democrats. Her opposition to gay marriage was cited as another reason. Garrison was also attacked on FaceBook when a group page was formed charging that "Garrison's record is anti-GLBT, anti-equality, anti-choice, anti-labor, anti-worker, and pro-gun. She is totally unacceptable" and one source railed that she "supported unfettered gun rights to the point she received an 'A' rating from the NRA."

Dear Patriot,
*A call to action*
We need to raise $30,000 in 30 days. Many of the vendors we have hired
need pre-payment and we need to raise funds to help cover these costs. If you
believe in the Second Amendment then we need your help now. Help us to
create history on April 19th, 2010 by donating to the March. Any amount is
welcome, but if 600 people donate just $50.00 each we would reach our 30
day goal. Just 600 of the millions of gun owners in America. |

Two correspondences illustrate the sorry state of affairs Illinois gun owners will face in tomorrow's primary election. First, there was a Facebook invitation inviting me to become a "fan" of Mark Kirk. My social networking friend is a good guy, a Second Amendment supporter--he just didn't know that Kirk is a gungrabber, the author of a federal semi-auto ban, and as committed an enemy of the right to keep and bear arms as they come.
Then there was this comment, just posted under my "Are there any true 'pro-gun' candidates in the Illinois Senate race?" column:
I live in the "peoples Republic of Illinois." Does anyone know who is the best progun candidate for senate?
It's a shame the information is so hard to find and so little known, and at the risk of starting a fight, or maybe with that purpose, I put much of the blame squarely on the national and state "gun rights" organizations.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A group of east Columbus residents, opposed to a car dealership moving into their neighborhood , gathered at a town hall meeting to strategize Saturday.
The dealership has already been approved by the city's zoning board, and is set to move into a vacant storefront on Alum Creek Drive, south of Livingston Avenue.
But people who live nearby, said they were not included in the conversation before the plan was approved, 10TV's Brittany Westbrook reported.
" We are full of action and we are not backing down," said Gina Hawthorne-Hill, Driving Park Civic Coalition president.
Neighbors said with so many drunk-driving accidents on the east side, the last thing they need is a car dealership.
"We've had an awful lot of gang activity, many deaths of young black men in our community. We've had a lot of black males in prison because of drunk driving," Hawthorne-Hill said.

 The Knox Update
From the Firearms Coalition
(Manassas, VA, January 28, 2010) In politics, like baseball, there is a time to bunt and a time to swing for the fence. This year is ripe for home runs. The political climate this year offers a unique opportunity for rights advocates to make major gains – both legislatively and politically. To make those gains we need to pull out all of the stops and go big.
The election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts was clear proof that voters are unhappy. Politicians who were already concerned about disgruntled voters are now terrified as they look toward the November elections. Pundits and analysts can spin the Brown victory any way they wish but the facts are clear. Voters are not happy with the way Democrats have exercised control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency. The backlash won’t stop at congressional elections and the local politicians know it. Many state legislators rode the wave of Democrat ascendancy to gain control of their state legislatures and as they watch that wave crashing on the rocks, they know they have a serious fight on the way this November. |
