Forrester Decries NRA While Failing to Mention
That The NRA Endorsed and is Campaigning For Forrester
"Sinking in the polls and desperate," Doug Forrester's campaign today tried to tie Senator Corzine to the NRA, but failed to mention that the NRA has endorsed and is campaigning on behalf of the Forrester campaign.
Shortly after the Republican Gubernatorial Primary the NRA released a letter to its members expressing support for Doug Forrester. Excerpts of the letter are contained below.
2005: State NRA Voiced Support For Forrester, Saying To Members: "The Future Of Your Second Amendment Rights In New Jersey Is At Stake." In a statement posted on the website of the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs - the official NRA state association - ANJRPC Executive Vice President Scott L. Bach said, "In the wake of a divisive gubernatorial primary in June, one fact is certain in the match-up between Doug Forrester and John Corzine: the future of your Second Amendment rights in New Jersey is at stake in November." [Bach/ANJRPC, "The Race Against Corzine," 6/05 (http://www.anjrpc.org/DefendingYourRights/RaceAgainstCorzine.htm)]
State NRA Said It Sought To Elect Forrester And "Restore Blocking Control In The Legislature." ANJRPC Executive Vice President Scott L. Bach said, "The goal of peaceable firearms owners in November should be two-fold: to keep Senator Corzine from becoming Governor Corzine; and to restore blocking control in the legislature (to stop the further progression of dangerous, misguided gun control laws that victimize the law-abiding and empower criminals). With more than 600,000 firearms owners in the state, and more than 1.5 million sportsmen and women, there is no reason why pro-gun candidates cannot not be elected in every race. No reason, that is, except for apathy among our ranks. If ever the outdoor community is to unify and speak with one voice, now is the time. We must join together, work together, and act together. Our goal is clear; our mission is possible; and our adversary is beatable. The outcome will depend on whether you and I step up and do our part." [Bach/ANJRPC, "The Race Against Corzine," 6/05 (http://www.anjrpc.org/DefendingYourRights/RaceAgainstCorzine.htm)]
