Fred's Left Coast List For Election 2002

(California)

This list is based on the NRA's rating list and my own personal knowledge of some of the candidates.

NRA Endorsed means the NRA has endorsed this candidate.

Rating is the rating the NRA gave to the candidates. In my book, any rating below a B sucks.

A rating of "?" means the candidate did not respond to the NRA's questionnaire. In my opinion, avoid these like the plague along with the "F" rated!

If you need to have the definition of the word "is" explained to you, then you have absolutely no business visiting my web site unless you wish to reform.

Disclamer: Those of you who know me, are aware that I am a CONSERVATIVE and the liberal politicos are not usually my best friends. You will notice, that I have chosen a few Democrats.  This is because a Democrat that supports the Second Amendment is better than a Republican RINO who wants to step all over the Constitution.  Errors, if any, on this page are solely mine.
