I have been sending emails to Congress as often as I can. I am not the best at expressing what I want to say in the form of a letter. I suggest that we start a thread where we can post our letters for others to use, modify and share. I hate to send the same letter every time. Here is an example of one of mine, and I hope others will add theirs to this thread so we can keep up the good fight. Please don't judge what others wrote, I think we can decide for ourselves what is appropriate or not. Letters only. Thanks CCIC
Dear XXXX
Support the 2nd Amendment!
My name is XXXXX. I am (years old) and a Husband and Father of (# of) young children, a daughter who is (years old) and a son who is (years old). We are a family who uses various firearms for hunting, sport, and self-defense. I am writing to inform you of my unwavering support of our constitutional right to “keep and bear arms.” President Obama is calling for more restrictions on Law abiding citizens like me and millions of others because of the actions of a few mentally disturbed individuals who violated numerous laws that are already in place. Taking away my Constitutional right to keep and bear whatever arms I see fit to protect my family, from whatever threat that may be, is not the answer! Unarming my ability to protect them is unconscionable and immoral.
Please do not punish Law Abiding Citizens for crimes they did not commit by limiting their 2nd Amendment Rights to protect themselves and their families!
Thank you for your time,
XXXXXXXXX
