CONTINUED FROM PART 1 *************************************************
Example: In 1992, local activists and GOA were significant
factors in electing Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) while NRA
supported a pro-gun Democrat with a proven voting record in the
state legislature.
Rep. Bartlett Congressmen was the prime sponsor for GOA's
legislation guaranteeing the right to self-defense with a
firearm. And he sponsored the successful amendment to the "anti-
terrorism bill" requiring a commission to investigate Federal law
enforcement, including Waco and Ruby Ridge.
But on Friday, to quell an attack from his opponent, Rep.
Bartlett said he was returning $6,700 in campaign contributions
from GOA because Executive Director Larry Pratt (whom I know not
to be a racist) would not publicly renounce white supremacist
groups.
Will GOA now turn against Rep. Bartlett? I hope not. Rep.
Bartlett is not our enemy; nor is Newt Gingrich.
