| PRO-GUN DAVID W. THOMPSON CHALLENGES ANTI-GUN INCUMBENT |
David W. Thompson (GRNC ****) is challenging anti-gun John Fraley (GRNC 0) for NC House District 95 (Iredell), and GRNC-PVF strongly recommends pro-gun David W. Thompson in this race.
Fraley is anti-gun
Fraley voted against the pro-gun omnibus bill, HB562, in the House Rules Committee. A bill that was set to greatly advance gun rights for legal gun owners, while cracking down on criminal possession of firearms. Thanks to Fraley, the vote was still tied after nearly two hours of debate.
The bill cleared committee only after Rules Chairman Lewis voted to break a 13-13 tie – a tie which resulted only because Republicans like JOHN FRALEY voted to kill this pro-gun bill. Even after HB 562 was saved, RINO John Fraley voted 7 times on the floor of the House to weaken the pro-gun bill. Fraley is NOT a friend to gun owners.
For these reasons, we refer to John Fraley, and two other RINOs who voted to kill the bill, as “The Gang of 3,” and we’re counting on you to make an example of them.
David W. Thompson is Pro-gun
You can count on David Thompson, who has a perfect four-star GRNC rating, to stand for gun rights in the NC House. That cannot be said for his RINO opponent.
GRNC-PVF strongly recommends David W. Thompson for NC House District 95!

DELIVER THIS MESSAGE
Suggested Subject: “Not Forgotten: Your Opposition to Pro-Gun Bills”
Dear Representative Fraley:
I am writing to make you aware that I am appalled by your anti-gun voting record in the NC House, a record that makes it clear you have forgotten “who brung you to the dance.”
I am a pro-gun rights voter, and I will not tolerate your opposition to strong, pro-gun bills such as HB562. Your effort to kill this bill in committee, and then to weaken it on the House floor have not been forgotten. I for one will be voting accordingly this election season, and I will admonish others to do the same.
I, and many, many others will indeed remember your record this primary season. I will continue to monitor election-related gun issues, and study candidate evaluations through alerts from Grass Roots North Carolina Political Victory Fund.
Respectfully,
This ad supporting David W. Thompson for NC House 95 was authorized and paid for solely by the Grass Roots North Carolina Political Victory Fund. Ad not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.
| ** IMPORTANT ELECTION NOTE ** |
Recent redistricting litigation notwithstanding, there is still a primary election on March 15.
Only the U.S. House of Representatives is affected by the litigation. Other, unaffected races will still be on your ballot, including president, U.S. Senate, governor, attorney general and commissioner of agriculture.
It remains important to vote all races on your March 15 ballot. Even U.S. House of Representatives, as though there were no litigation, in case the old districts are used after all. (If new districts are used, there will another primary election, and you will be able to vote again).
| WHAT GRNC-PVF IS DOING FOR GUN RIGHTS |
- Mailing nearly 50,000 postcard election alerts to gun voters in races across the state;
- Running radio spots in several key races;
- Conducting tens of thousands of automated phone calls in key races; and
- Sending email alerts to over 120,000 gun-owning NC voters!
But mailings and radio spots cost serious money.Even email is a significant cost when you send 100,000+ at a time. Yes, GRNC is far more efficient than other organizations because our all-volunteer cadre of gun rights supporters do things for a fraction of the normal cost. But even then, GRNC expects to spend over $100,000 in this election.
We can’t use your membership dues for political action. By law, the funds we use to beat anti-gun candidates and elect pro-gun patriots cannot be organizational money. That is why we created our PAC, the GRNC Political Victory Fund. But PAC money is precious, meaning WE NEED YOUR HELP!
So please help GRNC continue its long string of gun rights victories by contributing to the GRNC Political Victory Fund by CLICKING HERE or going to:

Whether you can contribute $500, $100, $50 or even $25, GRNC promises you “Max Bang for Your Buck!”
