I recently received a questionnaire from the National Rifle Association, as did every other candidate in the state. If I agreed with every question, I could expect an A+ rating and probably campaign donations. Disagree with one or more and my “grade” drops and money will be spent to ensure that I fail at the polls.

What got my goat more was the paragraph in bold letters that warned me that failure to reply to this questionnaire would be considered by the National Rifle Association as being against the Constitution of the United States of America.

In 1971, while still in high school in Libby, I took the oath to defend the Constitution from enemies, both foreign and domestic. I gave over 26 years doing just that. My military record will show that I honorably served Active and Reserve Naval Service and the Montana Army and Air National Guard. I refuse to be blackmailed by this organization. I would hope that other candidates feel the same.
