Isakson Announces Leadership of Sportsmen for Isakson

Receives NRA Re-Election Endorsement

Sep 17, 2010

ATLANTA – U.S. Senator and Senate candidate Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., today announced the launch of the group “Sportsmen for Isakson.” This group is made up of gun owners across the state of Georgia, including numerous leaders in outdoor sports who support Isakson and his long record of protecting Second Amendment rights.

Isakson has received an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association since arriving in Congress for his commitment to protecting the right to bear arms. The NRA also announced this week that it has endorsed Isakson in his bid for re-election this year, just as it has in previous elections. The text of their endorsement letter is attached.

“I knew Johnny Isakson even before he ever ran for public office. He has been a staunch supporter of Second Amendment rights for many years and his continuous, active support of gun rights has earned him the endorsement from the NRA,” said Carolyn Meadows, NRA Board Member and Georgia native.

“One of our most scared rights established in the Bill of Rights is the right to bear arms. I am absolutely committed to protecting our Second Amendment rights and have voted accordingly in the U.S. Senate,” said Isakson. “I will continue to fight on behalf of Georgia to ensure that law-abiding citizens maintain the right to defend themselves and their families.”
