I sent my final (as of now) letter to my senator, Dan Lauwers, today. Unlike all of my previous letters, this letter did not focus on a victim of gun violence. Instead I conveyed my utter disappointment in the lack of response I’ve received from Lauwers. Although I’ve written a few letters to other legislators, the bulk of the letters I’ve written since last May have been addressed to Lauwers. And while I certainly could have expressed my desire for much stronger gun laws in our nation, my belief that we must reinstate the ban on assault-style weapons, I’ve been restrained, considering my reader. I have, for the most part, simply appealed to him to allow a number of bills dealing with safe gun storage to have a hearing on the floor of the state senate, to be debated, to be voted upon, aye or nay.
Crickets from my Republican US senators too. They care more about the donors than the voters. At least they can never say they didn't hear from their constituents.
