I just spent two hours sending 22 emails and making 22 phone calls here in NY. Add that to the 40 emails and letters over the past week. I even held for a live person at Gov. Cuomos office instead of leaving voicemail. I spoke to assistants all of the time but they were very friendly. I usually asked their name if they didn't give it. I also joked about them probably wanting to throw the phones out of the window by now. All of this broke the ice and they became more human instead of just a robotic phone answerer. I told very briefly (the little script circulating around on other posts) why I was oppossed to any more laws and regulations. They all took my name, address or zip code, and phone number. They were all pleasant and receptive and thanked me for voicing my opinion. Only one guy (from Senator Kruegers office) started discussing their stance on things. He said they were against "assault weapons" but were not hurting the 2nd Amendment nor law abiding owners. I started to get into a further discussion with him but decided it wouldn't do any good and I should get off the phone before I said something that would make him not want to count my call. If we all do the same it would be a step for our cause. Please, make those calls and send those emails, even if you think it will do no good. Nothing can be accomplished if we do nothing.
Make those calls!!!

I posted this: Texas is gun friendly state and congressman, senate support 2nd for now
The President, Vice President, Congress, Senate has no authority to ban any type of weapon under the 2nd amendment, read the damn thing, it does not mean hunting, read the damn thing. The 2nd protects the rest and the amendments were written to protect we the people from an oppressive government foreign or domestic as such you may use the 2nd amendment to prevent the government from taking arms away from the people and subverting them. So kiss off to banning any firearms. .

I have called both senators and congressman twice and e-mailed all twice. My wife has done the same and neither of us are finished yet.

I agree completely and I am spending at least an hour a day on phone calls and additional time on emails. I not only get annoyed and impatient talking to people in Washington I somehow feel dirty and degraded. Not only the politicians but their staffers seem sleazy and very skilled in "double speak".
