"Dear Jaime.
Please sign this letter to speaker Boehner. There may be some reasons why you may not have signed it in the past, but I hope you'll reconsider and sign it now. I back you for your continued support of my Constitutional rights and your common sense approach to representing us.
Here are some of the excuses for why some Congressmen/women are not signing the letter, and my responses to them:
EXCUSE #1: One office said it had signed other gun control letters.
ANSWER: There's no quota on your support for the Second Amendment.
EXCUSE #2: Another office said they were afraid of Boehner's wrath.
ANSWER: You may want to consider your constituents' wrath instead.
EXCUSE #3: A third office said that gun control was never coming to the House.
ANSWER: Are you going to do nothing until the anvil actually falls on your head? Boehner has publicly stated that Senate-passed gun control would be "considered" by the House.
EXCUSE #4: A fourth office said the congressman had promised to be bipartisan.
ANSWER: Obama's ruthless pursuit of his political goals, at the same time he mouthed words of "bipartisanship" is the reason why he controls the White House and you don't.
EXCUSE #5: A few offices have said they fear this letter is challenging Boehner's authority.
ANSWER: The Stockman-Broun letter does nothing of the sort. It simply asks the Speaker to follow a rule that was established by a former Republican Speaker of the House. No sanctions are stated or implied - it is only a request asking the Speaker to use the Hastert Rule to kill gun control.
I know you'll do the right thing. You've always done it for us so far. Thank you for your service to us!"

GOA thanks its grassroots for making the difference
“Gun Owners of America, with its war chest, membership and lobbying strength dwarfed by the National Rifle Association, is emerging as an influential force as a series of gun control measures heads to the Senate floor.” - New York Times, April 4, 2013.....................

Write them, call them, meet with them, or testify in front of them. Our form of government is a representative form of government. If we don't tell our representative what to do, they will follow their own path.
