ahh... like I said, I think this was sent to "the faithful" and I'd bet Obamabucks that, if coded correctly, the survey page checks the "forwarding URL" for the content of the email to make sure it isn't trolled.

Mike, I received this and I am definitely not one of her faithful. I am in her district and I receive her newsletter under the know thy enemy mindset. I am also unenrolled.

Obviously, their measure of "faithful" is imperfect, but with a scarlet "R" I didn't get one from within her district as well (despite getting other of her solicitations in the past).

The more important aspect is the coding of the email/poll which would be able to tell if you were "forwarded" from one of their solicitations vs linked from other source.

Can't wait to unsubscribe from her BS newsletters but I had to vote not that she'll ever do anything meaningful.

I think the survey was created so that she'll say at the end of the vote that 90% of the people said they wanted background checks and to ban high capacity magazines. Even though it isn't true. And the actual printed results will some how be unobtainable, accidently become shredded, but trust her.

Congresswoman Niki Tsongas : Latest Issues Survey

Surprise, surprise! Polling the choir resulted in an echo of her own views!

Everyone, sign up for her newsletter (and all your other rep's newsletters), don't let this happen again.

Here is what I sent her in response

Hello,

I'm emailing you in regards to your recent "Gun Violence Prevention" survey. I was notified about the survey by a friend, but unfortunately that meant by the time I signed up for your newsletter it was already too late for me to participate.

I think it is quite reasonable to assume that 1) most people in the district are not subscribed to your newsletters and 2) the people that are subscribed consist almost exclusively of your supporters. As such, there is no reason to believe that any polling you do by this method is representative of the people in the district. You are polling the choir, in an echo chamber! Attempting to draw any conclusions from this data is at best disingenuous.

I would now like to submit my answers for the survey:

1) I strongly oppose "Universal Background Checks". I have not seen any proposals for this that do not ban private sales or do not include gross privacy violations. Even the ACLU opposes this, which is telling because they are historically not supporters of the 2nd amendment.
2) I strongly oppose banning the STANDARD capacity magazines you refer to. I couldn't help but notice the clever framing of the question, so here is my rewrite: "Do you support banning standard capacity magazines, like the kind millions of peaceful law abiding citizens across the nation prefer to use with many common firearms to defend themselves murderers and rapists.

Finally, what is the purpose of such a poll? My civil rights should not be subject to a popularity contest! That is the entire reason why this great nation is Constitutional Republic with a Bill Of Rights - to protect the rights of minority from the majority, or the rights of a majority from a motivated minority.

I hope you will take these points in to consideration.

Sincerely,
jefftk

this poll and her is a exercise in futility, if a AWB was to be voted on today she would vote for it .....twice....

 

[RLBreton]

I hate being in her district.

This!

 

[HuntMaine]

She's still at it, heres a letter.from her today supporting HR138 among others

Sent from the blind

 

[Al-Jim19]

Says in first paragraph "I support firearms for sport or personal protection" and in the bottom most paragraph says "high capacity magazines have no sporting purpose" and should therefore be banned. Do these people proof read what they've written?

 

[NickyBangBang]

Done! Hey Tsgonas GFY. Go the way of your relative of the same name.

Ohh how cute its written on recycled paper...double

 

[watchman]

Eh, she learned a trick or three about how to stay in office as a democrat. Hand out someone else's money to unions and clo the doors when your opposition shows up.

She does this well...

She is not union friendly and to be honest I think she is the female Markey and neither BTW are union endorsed.
