Thank you, Charles. Please be sure, I never had any intention to demean what Dewhurst has done for Texas gun owners. That's all well and good. However, my problem is mainly the integrity issue during this campaign.

I am a Life Member of the Texas State Rifle Association. Our TSRA lobbyist is using the Bully Pulpit of our magazine, "The TSRA Sportsman," to push the candidacy of Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in his bid to win the U.S. Senate seat. Cover photos and references to "Friendly David Dewhurst," in Alice Tripp's column, do not persuade me. I do not wish to trust my precious Second Amendment rights to a moderate. I do not wish to trust my precious Second Amendment rights to a man who is known for compromise. I do not wish to trust my precious Second Amendment rights to a man who distorts the truth about an opponent in an attempt to dupe the public into voting for him. I do not wish to trust my Second Amendment rights to a man who openly denies the truth when faced with the facts in a televised debate. These are large issues of character, that I cannot overlook.

I am willing to trust my Second Amendment rights to a grass root conservative, whom I believe understands, has fought for, and will continue uphold, the Constitution. I will vote for Ted Cruz and pray that you will also.
