My elected representative’s website (Debbie Stabenow [D-MI]) didn’t even have a firearms, guns, second amendment, or private property section in her list of contact subjects list, despite having subjects that ran from solid waste to space issues. Feel free to use my letter to simply and succinctly tell your representative how you feel about your right to bear arms.

Fully aware of your traditionally poor stance on personal-freedoms in firearms ownership, I must nonetheless request that as my elected representative, you vote yes on the National Defense Authorization Act (S. 1390). I, and a majority of Americans who feel that associations like the NRA best represent their views on firearms ownership, believe that the right to bear arms peaceably, by law-abiding American citizens is fundamental to our prosperity as a nation based on individual freedoms. I would ask that despite your past track record on firearms issues, that you take a moment’s pause, and examine not simply what you believe is politically expedient, or in line with your personal views, but instead the will of those you represent. I look forward with this vote to a better representation of the will of your constituency,

God bless,
