The 65 Pro-gun Dems

[MikeBjerum]

Damnit every time I try to download the letter it comes up as a corrupted file. My puter won't display it

Could someone check to see if my congresscritter, Chris Carney  (PA10) signed it?  please.

I want to either congratulate him or give him the business, but I gotta know,Please Please

You appear to be well represented.  Not only did Christopher Carney sign it, but Tim Holden, John Murtha and Jason Altmire all did as well.

I'm really surprised that 2 from California signed it. They're not from my district, but I'll thank them. It'd be nice to not have guns as politicized in CA.

Our county, which is often referred to as the "Red County" (magazine of the same name) has all Republican Reps, except one, Loretta Sanchez. Of course, she didn't sign. It's a strange coincidence that her district is the only odd numbered district in the County too.

Smells like mid-term elections coming,.... and the sucking up has begun,,....

Chris Dodd D-Ct. is up for re-election also. 50% disapproval rating in his home state,...

Seems like John Murtha D-Pa. just won't go away,....

P.S. Only ONE of Florida's "D's" signed. Boyd....

Not very encouraging, down here,...

Although having over 700,000 CCW permit holders in the state is,...That's almost 1 (the "M" word).....

M58 thank you!   May the ghost of JMB make all your bullseyes X's.

Now I can thank Mr Carney for once. Imagine that, 4 Dems from PA signed the letter
I am surprised Kanjorski did not, but I digress...thank you again.

I'd say, as one Floridian to another, that if you bring the tar, I'll bring the feathers, but as a "good" quaker boy, I'll go with friendly persuasion, Gary Cooper style (or if all else fails Richard Nixon style[and no, we generally don't brag about him]). I will send that 700k figure to esteemed my rep.Again, its not finding the whore with the heart of gold, its being the high bidder.

Our only rep is on the list - but he does have a A rating from the NRA. But it is good - will drop him a note this weekend to thank him.

Ours with an A rating didn't participate, and that is what I asked him about.

[Harmony Hermit]

He did.  He's #39 on the hit parade.

OK, how about that, 5 Dems from PA signed the letter! Pretty good for a NE state.

BTW Murtha was endorsed by the NRA in the last election, so he is not all that bad. His missteps on the Iraq war notwithstanding, at least he votes the right way on guns. We need to encourage more Democrats to our side of the argument, even if they are wrong on other issues.

  DON'T TRUST ANY OF THEM!!!!! 

Do some research and find out how they have voted on other gun issues in the past
before you start patting them on the back and telling them good job.

They could just be waiting till after the 2010 elections are over...

It is true that it may just be feel good to protect their seats for a 2011 surprise, because if you read the letter it is not about Rights as much as it is about avoiding nasty fights.  However, it is a chance to say thank you and be positive with those we need to blast from time to time.  If we wish to rip them we should also be willing to say thank you.

Just like we need to fight this Court action on concealed carry in National Parks even though it is just an injunction and my not amount to anything, we need to be thankful for words that say "don't push a ban ... now."  Every negative is a negative and every positive is a positive.  At the end of the day we can tally the wins and losses and see what the final score is.
