Received this email announcement from the Texas State Rifle Association PAC

On Thursday, September 16th, the Texas State Rifle Association-PAC joined Chris Cox, Director of NRA-ILA, in Dallas to formally endorse Rick Perry’s re-election as Governor of Texas.

Governor Perry, an avid hunter, target shooter, and a concealed handgun licensee has signed every pro-hunting, pro-self defense, pro-gun bill brought to his desk by TSRA or NRA.  In 2007, Perry signed Castle Doctrine legislation as his first bill of session.

Governor Perry is not only endorsed by TSRA but rated an A+ based on his consistent record of support.

Houston Mayor Bill White, the Democratic challenger, is rated a B for two reasons; his answers to questions on our 2010 candidate questionnaire and his long-time alliance with Mayors Against Illegal Guns.   MAIG’s founder, Mayor Bloomberg of New York supports everything from assault weapon bans to stopping gun shows.

Why would a Texas Mayor align himself with out-of-state, anti-gun mayors?   A person must be “known by the company they keep”.

We urge our members to support a life-long friend to Texas gun owners.

The rest of the TSRA-PAC ratings/grades voters guide is supposed to come out October 1.
