Gun Rights supporters in SE Ohio, we need your help tonight. Republican Committees in several SE Ohio counties will be meeting Saturday morning 02/04/06 to discuss endorsements for the May Primary.

It is critical for any supporters who live and vote the counties listed below to immediately contact the county chairman and also their specific precinct committee member tonight. Gun owners need to tell the committee members that big money and big names don't matter to them. A strong support of firearms rights and the Ohio constitution is what is important. This is why the county party committee members must choose to endorse gun rights supporter Senator Tim Grendell for Attorney General and NOT Betty "I will never be the candidate of the NRA" Montgomery.

Immediate action is needed since they will meet tomorrow morning. Contact information for the county chairmen are listed below. Contact information for precinct committee members from a few counties are contained in the Excel file available HERE.

If you can provide additional contact information for other precinct positions, please use our FEEDBACK FORM.
