Re: FOAC revokes some endorsements
First of all, the state's own site lists 82 bills sponsored by Alloway. It designates him as "Prime sponsor" on seven of those. NONE of those seven have anything to do with gun rights that I can see.
Secondly, all legislators sponsor all manner of legislation every session. Most of those bills go nowhere, so "sponsoring bills", even ones I agree with, means far less to me than a single vote AGAINST my rights.

Re: FOAC revokes some endorsements
He was the prime sponsor of the preemption bill in the senate last session. Like I said EVERYONE has been busy and there have been deaths in families! Quit your bitching and do SOMETHING...
Edit to add... I'm guessing Alloway is your senator. Does he know who you are? Will he address you by name when you meet? How about your Rep? You should be on first name basis...Last edited by LBaker; October 22nd, 2018 at 07:12 PM.

So we went from:To:That's a bit of a difference. Got the bill number handy?
Oh, absolutely. And I screenshot everything I post on his Facebook, because he's been sliding left on numerous issues, and I'm expecting him to start deleting my criticisms.
My inquiries are as much about FOAC as they are about individual representatives. If they maintain their endorsement of Alloway, I assure you they'll never see another dime from me. I fear they are just like the Republicans....slowly sliding away from their original absolutist positions, but marketing themselves as "still the best" out there. That don't fly with me.
And just because what I do doesn't make headlines here, or get passed by FOAC leadership, doesn't mean I'm not active. In my local area, my name and positions are well known (since apparently that's important).Last edited by gnbrotz; October 23rd, 2018 at 04:26 AM.

Re: FOAC revokes some endorsements
It was SB1330. I said several because I believed he might have been behind the castle doctrine enhancement also and didn't have time to look it up at 5 in the morning. It's all there on the FOAC website for the past 3 sessions. I'm not defending Alloway but what are we supposed to do if some of these legislators do good in the next 2 years? Everything will be reevaluated...

Re: FOAC revokes some endorsements
SB1330 was submitted during the 2015-2016 regular session. If he's still getting credit for that "good work" 2 years ago, then what's the problem holding him accountable for HB2060 when he's up for reelection in 2020....2 years after his attack on our rights?
All I expect is equal evaluation and application of whatever the standard is decided to be. His 'wrong' moves should be held against him for the same time period as his 'good' moves are used to justify supporting him.
"No suitable candidate" is perfectly acceptable when that is indeed the case.Get your "Guns Save Lives" stickers today! PM for more info.

Re: FOAC revokes some endorsements
That's the way reality works; if we held out for perfection in all things, we'd never eat, we'd never own cars or clothing or houses, we'd live alone and die alone.
Elections are about picking the best choice of the real available choices, not about every voter selecting his own mental clone. It would be great if I could vote for a straight white Christian male who likes SciFi and hates broccoli and thinks that most German porn is disgusting and strongly supports gun rights while finding the LGBT demands to be unreasonable these days but who wants a strong border without ignoring the optics of enforcement and thinks that Roseanne got a raw deal but likes a bigger engine under the hood of his car. And is a fiscal conservative. And reserves the "F-word" for when he needs it. And prefers Chuck Norris to most spectator sports. And likes dogs more than cats. And would happily hire a qualified minority but detests group entitlements.
Instead, I mostly just vote for the Republicans, because they try to keep taxes lower and they don't brag about banning everything that men enjoy, like guns and meat and working toilets and fast cars.
We don't get to vote for a menu, it's an A/B binary choice in the general election, so I encourage the purists to fight like hell in the primaries and then rally behind the party that believes Heller was correctly decided in the general election.
The perfect is the enemy of the best available. We can each contribute to an attainable result, or we can make ourselves irrelevant while other people choose who leads us.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com

Re: FOAC revokes some endorsements
Agreed. I have voted every election since I was 18. I only vote for two candidates in all that time. Reagan and Trump. Every other vote cast was against some other greater evil. Politics attracts scumbags and scoundrels. It’s just the way it is. Adults understand this. If you could make people not suck, you could close all the animal shelters.
