Good news I guess

[nynco]

I had a unique phone call no more than an hour ago from my state representative. I guess I am the most in awe that my representative even took the time to call me personally to discuss an issue. I wrote to him about how I was against further gun regulation. I pretty much explained how I feel on many other subjects. That I am a middle of the road and even uber liberal on many subjects (I know it pisses many of you off). But that guy actually listened and was receptive to my point of view. Talk about a breath of fresh air that way. This guy is a first time state representative and he has a "D" after his name too.

I guess the point I am trying to make is we are being heard. I hope that we can figure out ways to talk to our politicians rather than yell at them. Because surprisingly, there are some good ones who do care and listen. I personally don't think he would have ever called me had I have written to him in a confrontational tone. So when you write to your politician do your best to not start off with anger. That can sometimes lead to people never listening to each other.

Anyways.... that battle goes on.

Signed your liberal gun owner friend Nynco

Ok so what did he say, and what did you agree to sacrifice for the children?

That's great and all but ... you said it was your state representative, not your state senator, so he already voted for the gun control bills and the damage is already done. Recall his butt and be done with it.

Why don't you say who it is? Salazar?

Exactly, but you wouldn't expect a liberal to understand facts like that.

He said the only thing he agreed on was requiring background checks private party gun purchases. I raised my concern that people should not have to pay for background checks and he agreed that it was not a good idea. Remains to be seen how he will vote. It was Dominick Moreno.

I believe the appropriate term in this situation is "pwnd".

It is nice that your rep was willing to talk to you

Unfortunately it is now too late for the house to do anything and that rep already voted for the bills.

votes

He's in the House. He already voted.
