National Rifle Association Endorses Freudenthal For Re-election

September 21, 2006

CHEYENNE - Citing his dedication to the Second Amendment, the National Rifle Association has thrown their support behind Governor Dave Freudenthal in his bid for re-election.

In the October edition of American Hunter magazine, the NRA singled Freudenthal out for inclusion on their "A-list" of gubernatorial candidates across the country.

"As governor of Wyoming, Dave Freudenthal has proved to be a solid advocate of Second Amendment rights and our hunting heritage," wrote the NRA in the article. "Gun owners should give strong support to Gov. Freudenthal on election day."

A long-time sportsman, Freudenthal said that he was thrilled with the NRA's endorsement. "The National Rifle Association is a strong advocate of those issues that are important to sportsmen and hunters. This endorsement validates the work that we have been doing over the last four years on behalf of those who value Wyoming's outdoors," said Freudenthal.

A nonpartisan organization, the NRA has provided countless Americans with programs focused on safety, education and responsibility for more than 125 years. America's foremost supporter of Second Amendment rights, the NRA is the leading firearms education association in the world.
