    Good thing I have a strong right hand. Time to write more letters. Everyone needs to contact their reps and senators again
    You have a right to your opinion, and I have a right to tell you how stupid it is

    Yeap, I've just drafted a new one, a little lenghty but I think it gets the point across. Tell me what you guys think of it.

    Dear Representative/Senator:

    I will start this letter with a simple question. How will you vote?

    With today’s introduction of Senator Feinstein’s “Assault Weapon Ban” bill in the Senate, I’ve been compelled to again write and express my deep concern for the future of our constitutional republic. Yes I said constitutional republic, the United States of America is not and never has been, a democracy. I do not state that as an insult to your intelligence but I find it necessary to remind everyone of that every now and then, especially when usurpations of the constitution are being considered with any seriousness.

    The Constitution of the United States of America is the document that controls what the federal government can and cannot do, and how they are to do it. Yet again another legislator has proposed ignoring it and further degrading its principles. Senator Feinstein by introducing this bill has willfully disregarded her oath of office yet again. Not that this is some earth shattering revelation, and it’s obviously not the first time it’s happened nor will it be the last. However it is a very disturbing trend that is ever increasing in frequency.

    I write to remind you of the oath you took to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. Not inpart, but in its entirety. The world is watching what our elected representatives do in times like these and it is no time to back down and compromise on the Constitution. I suggest that if Senator Feinstein wishes to circumvent the 2nd Amendment that she at least has the courage to go about it in the proper way and propose a constitutional amendment. That is not to say that I would support such an endeavor, but she would at least have my respect for doing it the right way. She contends that she has the backing of “the people” and that 2nd Amendment supporters are the few or the fringe of this country. Well I challenge her to prove it, go about the amendment process and whatever comes of it, comes.

    I could go on with lengthy explanations citing historical documents like the Militia Act, and the Constitution, but it’s a waste of my time and yours as you both know and understand them or you do not, and my explanation will most likely make no difference. So I won’t do that. What I will do is pose the question one more time, but please know this before you answer. I will make my decision on how to proceed from here based solely on your answer. This includes how I will vote in coming elections but does not even begin to encompass what I will do. Please know that anyone who votes for Senator Feinstein’s bill should it make it before your legislative body in ANY form will become the focus of my efforts. These efforts will begin with but not be limited to:

    • Voting
    • Supporting opposing candidates in election efforts.
    • Actively campaigning for or against candidates
    • Financial donations to campaign efforts


    I don’t need a lengthy explanation of your position for your vote all I need is a one word answer, Yes or No, that is all I need to know. So here it is again.

    If/when Senator Feinstein’s “Assault Weapons Ban” bill comes before you , How will you vote?

    Sincerely,

    You were at the Rally last weekend, weren't you? Holbert's advice was good!

    Yes and yes. Figured I'd try it at least and see if they have the stones to answer it.

    I would hope they do, but statistically unlikely.
