Idaho Senator Larry Craig today issued the following statement on Charlton Heston:
"Charlton Heston - actor, activist and union president -- was first and foremost an American patriot. He took pride in his work, and respected his audiences. He defended his rights and ours, and in so doing, he honored his country. I was proud to work with him in defense of the Second Amendment, safeguarding the freedom of all law-abiding Americans. As we honor him in death, we celebrate his life of courage and achievement."
