State Reps and Senators' letter to the AG

[Varmint]

Is a letter better than email for contacting your rep?

 

[beach]

Everyone on Nes has to call and email each of these 58 and thank them for taking their oath to uphold the constitution seriously after that we have to call all the other and tell them they should resign that broke ther oath of office

 

[spt_1955]

Unfortunately 58 out of 200 pretty much is what we can expect in this state. We need people who are represented by the other 142 to mobilize and vote some of these people out.

"We want to be clear that we are not opposed to revisiting the state's gun laws periodically to ensure that they are up to date" Doesn't sound to great

I just received the email with the document attached from my Rep at 10:15 on a Saturday night. While I agree it isn't a reason to jump for joy at least they are giving the appearance of listening to us.

Sucks cause Peabody had a pro2A rep but she quit to go back to full time nursing. Her Dem replacement will never sign this.

That says something doesnt it?

She said politics was never meant to be a full time career for her. She sure didn't fit in.

Even after he responded to emails with great concern I don't see State Senator Michael Rodrigues on there either but we sure have a lot of support!

I would go with both, plus phone calls.
I suspect emails by and large are pretty much ignored based on the usual canned responses.
Phone call get more attention IMHO.

 

[TLB]

Do we know how many Democrats signed this? Just by overall numbers, at least 18 if all Rs signed.

 

[cobalt]

Good to see my rep's signature (Zlotnik). I hadn't heard from him, but I'll take his signature on this letter over any response sent to me. Actions speak louder than words.

I have a sneaking suspicion he's more upset at being usurped than the 2A issue... Perhaps when he's old enough to drink coffee, we can take invite him out for a cup and see where his head is at.

 

[Shawnyc]

Both my Reps Carole Fiola nor Paul Schmid were on there either.

Wasn't today a special session and some had already left.

Maybe the list of names will increase....

 

[sig shooter]

Good stuff man. A few of my local reps signed on, I will send a email thanking them.

Nice, that is a start!

im truly astonished at the number of signatures. While not a majority, it is clear some dems signed on.
however, Maura will not respond to this. She is not obligated to. Or so she believes

 

[careful34]

This is Great! I'm pretty impressed!

 

[mikelawtown]

Not happy that my Rep is not participating and he will be hearing from me (again) shortly.

Mine the same and also sent
a Nice little message to him.

 

[Mach]

how about a bill that defines the words copies and duplicates to be exact copies feature for feature.

It would take one sentence and re-establish the english language and the intented neaning

 

[usp45ct]

Gale the whale Candares is missing. had they included a Big Mac in the deal, she would have signed. Must have been a free dinner somewhere.

 

[robjax]

We actually wanted this undone today and not this letter. So not what we wanted from today's demonstration but it seems some of the pols took that message seriously...One of mine did anyway which actually shocked me. He still supports the ban the way is was prior to Wednesday though which is a hot button issue with me. But at least now I know there is a line it seems he isn't willing to cross so I guess that is progress.

So now I think we push even harder. More e-mails and phone calls and those rep\s not on the list get on them as well. Tell them this is something we will not stand for and we will negative campaign against them until this AWB is repealed. We don't need the hearts of people we just need their minds thinking logically like we do.

The biggest thing is to get that dictatorial power away from this and all future AG's.

 

[RLBreton]

Personally, I'm completely stunned that Golden and Nangle form Lowell put their names on this...small miracles

 

[cshooter]

The representatives left 10s of thousand of their constituents in legal limbo until at least the next term because they legally exercised a civil right that happens to not be in vogue. This is completely unacceptable. A letter is nice, but in a big system where the political party puts itself first, I have to wonder if it really means anything. Some of these people may have just signed to placate their voters because they know it will not go anywhere. They should have at least pulled the wording from the ban to cut the AG's legs out. I like my rep, and am glad she signed the letter, but it did not change my status. Too bad I am not a teenage girl that got up-skirted. That would have been resolved today.

That was a wildly unrealistic expectation.

I suspect many who signed are pissed because she stole their thunder, not because she effectivle banned semiautomatic rifles.

I agree on both accounts. Especially the latter.

 

[gunofthrones]

she doesn't care. she's betting on hillary win the election and this is her political capital to step on the AG position lynch left. lynch is going to be in the supreme court and bill made a deal with her.

I said this in the other thread, but as glad as I am for this start, the letter isn't worth the paper it's printed on unless the legislature does something that has actual teeth in it.

I think it is encouraging to know we actually have a voice in there (this is what stopped this from passing as legislation after the state-wide listening tour), but we don't have a strong enough voice that they can pass the laws we need to protect us in cases like this.
