The Honorable Bob Taft
Governor, State of Ohio

Dear Governor Taft:

I am writing to request your help with the election of Republican leadership in the November 2006 election.

I am a member of the Greene County Republican Central Committee. I am active in various sportsmen, Second Amendment, and self-defense issues. As a member of the Greene County Central Committee, I work to bring these issues to the attention of our Republican leaders and to represent Republican leaders to the sportsmen organizations.

I worked to bring the Buckeye Firearms Association and NRA, into the fight against the State Issues 2 through 5 last November. My support can be verified through the office of State Representative Kevin DeWine. I also worked with Buckeye Firearms Association and the US Sportsmen Alliance on the Apprentice Hunting License legislation.

The November 2006 elections present some special challenges for our Republican candidates. The Democrats are putting forth some unusually strong pro-gun candidates in their statewide slate. They have served notice that the pro-self defense and pro-Second Amendment vote is no longer guaranteed to the Republican Party.
