GOA Supports Pro-gun Champion Lou Barletta for Congress in 2010

Mayor Lou Barletta of Hazelton, Pennsylvania, is best known for his fight against illegal immigration, but he is also a strong advocate of the right to keep and bear arms.

Mayor Lou BarlettaMayor Barletta is running in Pennsylvania’s 11th Congressional District against a 25-year entrenched incumbent.  In the 2008 election, Barletta came within 3 percentage points of winning this seat.  Given the voter outrage over the far left agenda being pushed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 2010 could be the year to finally send Lou Barletta to Congress.

Lou’s opponent, Paul Kanjorski, likes to play both sides of the fence on the gun issue.  He will cast an occasional pro-gun vote so he can go back to the district and try to convince voters that he is pro-gun, but he votes for the Pelosi agenda most of the time.

A Pro-Gun Stalwart Comes Under Attack Print E-mail
-- Please stand with Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina


Even if you missed the President's speech to the Congress on health care in September, you certainly have seen the news following the event. 

Most notable was the fact that pro-gun congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina -- rated "A" by Gun Owners of America -- decided to call out the President because of his... well, shall we say... his failure to communicate truthfully.Rep. Joe Wilson

No matter what you think about the time and place Wilson chose to tell President Obama "You lie," the facts are on Joe Wilson's side.

The President lied repeatedly throughout his speech.  Even the Associated Press -- hardly a bastion of conservatism -- noted that the President failed to accurately articulate the truth in several instances.
