The Connecticut Citizens Defense League is a non-partisan, grassroots organization devoted to advocating rights affirmed by the Constitutions of the United States of America and the State of Connecticut. We are especially dedicated to protecting the unalienable right of all citizens to keep and bear arms, for the defense of both self and state, through public enlightenment and legislative action.
We welcome anyone who believes that the defense of our constitutional rights is critical to the longevity of our freedom and to the success of this nation, and in particular that the rights to self defense and to keep and bear the arms to actualize that defense, are fundamental and undeniable.
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League, a state-wide grass roots organization dedicated to supporting second amendment rights, has pledged their support to Jerry Labriola in his race for the United States Congress.
"Jerry has been with us almost literally since day one," said Scott Wilson, president of the CCDL. "He has been meeting with us to hear our concerns since we were a small organization with just a handful of members. We have had the opportunity to speak with him at length regarding the second amendment, and his commitment to our cause is abundantly clear. CCDL enthusiastically endorses Jerry Labriola. The people of Connecticut can hope for no better champion for their second amendment rights in Washington."
“I’m honored to have received this endorsement.” remarked Labriola, the republican nominee for the 3rd Congressional District. “This is a terrific group of citizens who have grown their ranks tremendously in the last year, and truly represents a cross-section of the 3rd District. Their advocacy and enthusiasm for upholding citizen rights guaranteed by the Constitution is commendable and I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.” Labriola said.
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL), a state-wide grass roots organization dedicated to supporting second amendment rights, has pledged their support to Tom Foley in his race for the governorship. Scott Wilson, president of the CCDL, released this statement on behalf of the group and its membership:
"As President of the CCDL it is an honor to announce our organization's support and endorsement of Tom Foley for Governor. Tom has publicly expressed his commitment to the Second Amendment, and after conversing with him we believe that he will support citizens that wish to lawfully purchase, sell, transfer, carry and use firearms of all kinds here in the state of Connecticut. Tom has also pledged to correct the red tape associated with lawful firearm ownership and use in the state of Connecticut, which really separates him from any other candidate. "
With the election looming in just a few short weeks, the CCDL is pleased to endorse Tom Foley and urges Connecticut citizens who are concerned about protecting their Second Amendment rights to vote for Tom Foley for Governor.
This month was extremely busy for CCDL and its members. Three events kept us all hopping! The final event in our "Month of Fun" was our Fundraiser/Shooting Event this past Saturday, held at Wolcott Landowners Protective Association. We would like to thank all our members that attended and participated in our Pistol and Trap shooting contests.
