A Surprising 89% of the People in TV Poll support Pro-Gun Candidates
MOLINE, ILLINOIS, December 11, 1999 (CN)-- WQAD-TV 8 in Moline, Illinois got more than they bargained for when they ran a poll Friday night asking the question: "Would you support a candidate who favors the right to carry a gun?"
A surprising 89% of the viewers said "yes", in support of a pro-gun candidate. 11% said "no", they wouldn't support such a candidate.
The biggest benefactor of the poll was 17th Congressional Candidate Michael Curtiss MD, who has been on the national media hot seat since Associated Press ran a national story on the rural doctor's controversial gun raffle fundraiser.
Should Curtiss prevail in the March Republican Primary, he will square off with nine-term incumbent Democrat Lane Evans in the final poll that counts in November.
Things never looked more shaky for Evans, a man who narrowly won two years ago, and is described by Gun Owners of America as an "anti-gun leader." [This last paragraph is KEY folks, people are probably tired of Evans after nine terms, PLUS the bozo is anti-gun]

Curtiss Gun Raffle becomes Show Heard "Round the World"
Mount Carroll, Illinois, December 10, 1999 (CN)-- You could call it the "shot heard 'round the world." It's a gun raffle in Princeton, Illinois. And it's making waves at such national media outlets as the Wall Street Journal, the G. Gordon Liddy Show and MSNBC.
What makes the raffle so intriguing, is it's being conducted by a Republican primary candidate for the 17th District Congressional seat: Dr. Michael Curtiss.
The rural-care family doctor held a news conference this morning at his Mount Carroll home, defending both the raffle and Curtiss' Second Amendment rights.
Curtiss said, "Just the fact that there is a question of the legality of firearms shows how far the tentacles of the government have reached into our lives. There is nothing wrong with guns. We teach our children from a young age how to handle a weapon with respect and how to be responsible when using firearms."
His raffle of a .45 caliber handgun and a rifle flies in the face of President Clinton's newly-announced class action lawsuit against gun makers.
Curtiss says his platform is one of support for God, family, country, the constitution and the Bill of Rights. If Curtiss prevails in the primary, he will face Democratic Congressman Lane Evans in the fall 2000 general election.
It takes guts to do a gun raffle. The liberal media is trying to demonize Curtiss, but they are really boosting his campaign.
[I mentioned this before, those bozos JUST DON'T LEARN.] Recently his gun raffle prompted a Quad Cities TV station to conduct of poll. 89% of the viewers responded saying they would support a pro-gun candidate!
-- 30 --
Here's a win-win suggestion [not my idea, dammit] -- buy a couple of tickets and send them to Rosie! [Anybody got a mail address?] Curtiss gets the money, and Rosie doesn't DARE collect the prize. The media will have a field day if she wins -- what will Rosie do with these "evil" things?
In the immortal words of Roy Biggins of "Wings", "God, I love irony!".
