A letter received from the Texas State Rifle Association:
Dear Mr. Pearce,
 
The Political Action Committee of the Texas State Rifle Association, the NRA state affiliate, thanks you for participating in the 2008 Texas Candidate Questionnaire, a joint project with the NRA.
 
The information provided in the candidate questionnaire allows us to inform our membership that you are considered an "A rated candidate" for Election Year 2008.
 
This is a rating, not an endorsement.
 
Best Wishes,
Alice Tripp
Legislative Director
