For all of you 2nd District folks watching the congressional race between David Ashe (D) and Thelma Drake (R)...
Ashe was on radio station WNIS (AM 790) this morning. I called and asked him his position on gun control issues, with specific emphasis on the recently expired AWB. His response was one sentence (paraphrased): "I am a Second Amendment supporter, and I would have voted to extend the AWB." At that point, I lost my cell signal (of all times to lose it...) and could not respond.
When I called back, one of the folks at the station told me that Ashe would be on again tomorrow from 9 AM - 10 AM taking questions, and that I should feel free to call back and take him to task. I plan to do so, but I wanted to let the rest of you know as well... If you want to call in, the number is 757-627-7979.
If you live in the 2nd District, pass the word along that Ashe would have extended the AWB if given the chance.
