I support Bruce Poliquin for Congress for many reasons, but I am writing this letter as a gun owner.

The Maine Constitution states, “Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms and this right shall never be questioned.” Mainers have a long tradition of being safe and responsible gun owners.

Maine needs to keep Rep. Bruce Poliquin in Washington because he will always stand up to protect the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment rights, as well as those in the Maine Constitution. He is famous for being a hard worker, has an “A” rating from the NRA (his opponent has a “D”), and is endorsed by the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine.

I hope others will join me in voting for Bruce Poliquin on Nov. 6.
