The Essential "Stem the Tide of Gun Control" Contact List & Sample Letter Thread!

...and a new letter added, courtesy of "sitrep", over at thehighroad.org:


Honorable Senator/Congressman XXX

As a registered voter & concerned American, I am writing because I am appalled by politicians that want to use the Virginia Tech. tragedy as an opportunity to push for more Federal gun control. I want you to understand, in no uncertain terms, that I will not vote for a politician that approves of further infringements on my right to keep & bear arms.

Using the actions of a certifiable madman as justification to deprive law abiding American citizens of their Second Amendment rights is morally repugnant. Rather than passing new laws that infringe on the rights of honest, responsible, and law-abiding citizens; I encourage you to focus your energies on enforcing current Federal laws and further increasing the penalties for those who illegally posses firearms or use them in the commission of a crime.

Americans are waking up to the realization that they are ultimately responsible for their own safety & security, and they are arming themselves in record numbers. Thus, I implore you to do everything within your power to ensure that any efforts to enact new Federal gun control measures in the aftermath of the Virginia Tech. shootings will be rebuffed.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to your reply.

Respectfully,
 
I'm a regular

letter-writer, that is.

My Congress-critters (all 3) get at least one message a week from me, by email or FAX or phone call. Usually these days the topic is the need to stop the Mexican invasion, but I let 'em have at least one reminder per month of where I expect them to stand on RKBA.

What folks need to understand is that, yes, emails get glanced at and filed in a folder somewhere, but the numbers of items arriving in those folders each day / week / month definitely get noticed.

And yes, FAXes and paper letters carry more weight than an email - in direct proportion to the effort put into them.

But NUMBERS COUNT. If all you can send is a 3-line email, if it is clear, original, and to the point, it will get counted.

Think of it this way - if there are 100 million voters in this country, and only 1 million regular letter-writers, then your messages count 100 times as much as your vote.
