I’ll try to keep track my correspondence with our Legislative Branch.
July 21st, 2009 I sent this letter to Senator Harkin and Senator Grassley:
Senator Harkin,
Please vote yes on the Thune Amendment 1618 on SB 1360 when given the chance.
I believe this could help ensure the safety of many law abiding citizens and make the criminal element ‘think twice’ before perpetrating another’s rights with violence. There have been eleven unlawful shootings in the Waterloo area in the last couple of months. I am lucky enough to not live in Waterloo, but I do work there, and used to routinely take my daughters there for various shopping trips and events. If I think twice about traveling and spending time in Waterloo, what do interstate travelers think?
Thanks for your time.
I’ll post the responses when I get them and the status of the amendment.
