Call to Action: 
Help End CT Democratic Leaders Partisanship
Governor Malloy and the Connecticut Democratic Party have been turning the 2nd Amendment and the 14th Amendment into a partisan issue. They are implying that only Republicans support the 2nd Amendment.

Since CCDL is a nonpartisan organization, we are asking CCDL members to call and email those Democrat legislators we have previously endorsed, and ask them to speak out and oppose Governor Malloy's intention to sign an executive order that would violate both the 2nd Amendment and 14th Amendments.  (See: Press Release On Malloy’s Latest Executive Action) 

What We Need CCDL Members To Do

1) Call and email the legislators listed below. Thank them for their past support on helping to protect the 2nd Amendment. If you live in their district, be sure to inform them of this. As a constituent, your voice carries more weight. If you are not sure who your state senator and representative are, you may enter your address here and find out: https://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/menu/cgafindleg.asp
2) Tell them you are unhappy that the governor and the Democrat Party are painting lawful gun owners as extremists.

3) Let them know leadership is making it seem as if every elected Democrat is anti-gun and "on-board" with what the governor intends to do.

4) Let them know that you will support them in 2016 if they continue to support the 2nd Amendment and oppose the governor's violation of due process and misuse of watch lists for unintended purposes.

5) Ask these legislators what their opinion is of the governor's plan to impose an executive action that would revoke permits to carry a firearm, block sales of firearms, and quite possibly lead to the confiscation of legally owned private property. It is important to know where they stand. We need a written response to back up their position one way or the other. 

6) Let them know that the Governor's plan is a violation of due process. Ask them to contact the governor's office directly and tell the governor his plan is wrong, and that it violates both the U.S. Constitution and our State Constitution. Ask to be sent a copy what they send the governor.

7) Remember these are elected officials who have stood by us in the past. CCDL endorsed all of these legislators in 2014.

8) Let these legislators know that there are people on these lists who have no ties to terrorism whatsoever, and that just because they are on this list it does not mean that they are an actual terrorist.  This is important to pass along to your legislators. They may not be aware of this fact.

9) For more details, see this press release from CCDL: http://ccdl.us/blog/2015/12/17/on-partisan-comments/

Getting them on record is important. Please forward any responses to president@ccdl.us and vicepresident@ccdl.us
 
Please call and email these legislators Today. This is crucial!
