Dear Donald:

One of the rights specifically protected in our bill of rights, second
only to the freedom of speech is that "...the right of the people to keep
and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."  The Constitution is clear about
this.

At your request I have signed on as a cosponsor to H.R. 1762 which would
repeal the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act.  The Brady Act was
passed before I was elected and has not helped keep guns away from
criminals.  In fact, at times, it has kept law-abiding citizens from
buying a gun when they wish.    Unfortunately, this bill did not pass the
House in the last Congress.  I strongly oppose this law and will work to
repeal it in order to give law-abiding gun owners the rights they are
being denied.

Warmest regards,

Zach Wamp
Member of Congress

I do. On a regular basis. I don't just post that I want things changed, I try to help in the process.

I've always liked the Hon. Zach Wamp (the name simply cannot be forgotten) whenever he appears on the talking heads circuit.

He's always right on during the minute speeches on the House Floor!

I would say that he's a libertarian Republican, just as Texas' own Hon. Ron Paul.

That's great news, but having worked in a Senator's office I have to tell you that my biggest pet peeve is constituent response letters like this in which he makes it sound as he ran out to co-sponsor the bill because you Donald wrote to him.  I think its blowing sunshine up a voter's ass.

When I wrote those type of letters I always worded them to the effect, "you are not alone in your concerns, countless constituents have contacted me to voice their support (or opposition) to H.R. XXXX.  I have heard your words and I embrace them.  Rest assured that I will support/oppose/co-sponsor this legislation when it reached the floor."

Sorry, just a pet peeve, but if you post the member's address I'll consider making a donation to his campaign even though I live in the PRofNY.

Yeah, I've had better form letters, and I agree that this is a clumsy attempt at seeming to be at one with the people.
