That is a mistake for two reasons: First, any race that advances the political career of a pro-freedom candidate can be useful if it increases the chance of that candidate eventually being elected to higher office. Second, some tasks of offices seemingly unrelated to the right of self-defense might actually have an impact not obvious at first glance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Self-defense advocates should pay attention to the race for Cabarrus County Commissioner for both of those reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">In the Republican primary, the candidate who stands out is Larry Pittman (voting record: 100%, GRNC ****). During his terms in the NC house Pittman not only earned a 100% pro-freedom voting record, but repeatedly sponsored legislation to expand the rights guaranteed North Carolinians under the Second Amendment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Act now to defend your rights!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Larry is in a <strong><u>Five-way primary<\/u><\/strong> for the Republican nomination for 2 Cabarrus County Commissioner seats, meaning he needs your <strong>support<\/strong> and, in particular, your donation<strong> and your vote<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">If you would like to send a check, please send it to:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Committee to Elect Larry Pittman<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">250 Roberta Road, SW<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Concord, NC\u00a0 28027<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Checks must be from individuals, not couples or corporate checks, and we need your occupation and the name of your employer for reporting purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">In this critical election year, we will need your help to elect pro-freedom candidates from the top of the ballot to the bottom.
