I got this in the VA-ALERT today from Jim Snyder. I figured I would post it here since we are a month away from the election. Everyone can post who they have contacted to encourage them to take the survey. I contacted Dave Albo, George Barker, and Jack Dobbyn.
"The General Election is less than 4 weeks away -- Tuesday, November 8, 2011.
Many of the candidates have answered the VCDL 2011 Candidate Survey, but even more have not.
Survey questions can be found at: http://www.vcdl.org/surveys/survey_2011.html
What really amazes me are the candidates, especially those in contested races, who either ignore the Survey or send a letter or email with excuses why they aren't going to answer the Survey. If candidates who oppose our gun rights can answer the Survey, then why can't those who claim to be pro-gun also answer it? They obviously want to hide their real position on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
For candidate contact info and to see who has answered the Survey, go to: http://tinyurl.com/3cwpxa5 Early next week I will be adding a column containing a qualitative assessment of how good the candidates' Survey responses were (from "very pro gun" to "very anti gun"). Then, a few days before the Election, I will publish the candidates' answers to the Survey.
Please contact the candidates in YOUR district who have not answered the VCDL 2011 Candidate Survey and politely, but firmly insist that they complete the VCDL survey and send it in immediately. If they have misplaced their survey, have them contact me at vp@vcdl.org and I'll email them another copy.
Not sure what District you're in? Your district may have changed due to redistricting. (Mine did!) You can find out at: http://tinyurl.com/bksx4 (Only your address info is required on this form.) Your old districts (House & Senate) and the *new* ones resulting from redistricting will also be displayed.
If any of the candidates are afraid to take a public stand on these issues now, BEFORE the election, then they are unlikely to be very responsive to your views AFTER the election.
Failure to return a completed survey frequently indicates indifference, if not outright hostility, toward the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
Thanks for your help!"
