just sent off a nastygram to ME's 2 senators who both voted for this idiocy. collins us a republican, which puts her on the GOP's shitlist and maine also happens to be a VERY gun friendly state, so her constituency is likely not pleased . King is in an even more precarious position he's an independent so there's no party to back him up some election season, and again he'll have to answer to maine's predominantly pro gun populace Collins is up in 2014 midterms. yep, hoping she's gets slayed at the polls.

90% of Americans favor gun control, just like there was no voter fraud in the last presidential election, and Clinton "did not have sexual relations with that woman."

I just sent this email to each my two Senators:
"Senator Cornyn/Cruz, Thank you for your support of our 2nd amendment protected Rights today. Now maybe we can concentrate on the real cause of these mass killings, Mental Health! Thank you, DstryrOfWrlds" |

Virginia repeatedly votes against new gun laws, yet both of our senators vote for them This system is broken.  That's what Obama is saying! "90% of the people and most gun owners" wanted to destroy liberty, but irresponsible Senators stood in the way... Senators who ignored the will of "90% of the people and most gun owners". The broken system made a small step toward fixing itself today. |
