Title: For those of us in Florida - the response of Bill Nelson to my recent emails.
Post by: Obiwan on May 10, 2013, 02:56:51 PM: Thank you for contacting me about policy proposals that seek to reduce gun violence.

I support reinstating the assault weapons ban and restoring the 10-round limit for ammunition magazines. AK 47s are intended for killing, not hunting. I support universal background checks, and voted for them in the Senate this April.

Solutions for reducing gun violence must address many areas, from protecting law enforcement and keeping weapons out of the hands of criminals, to school safety and access to mental health services.

I will continue to seek a path forward to reform our nation's gun laws. I appreciate hearing your views on this very important issue, and I will keep them in mind as the debate on gun control moves forward. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future.

Sincerely,
Bill Nelson

I guess Rubio is the polar opposite, but he ain't giving me the warm fuzzies either as of late.

Nelson is an elitist, pompous ass.

Generally your Congress critter will at least give you a generic "Thank you for your concern" letter if nothing else. But bupkiss? I think its pretty clear that Bill is on his last term and just doesn't care what folks think anymore. This is too bad as he's been a great advocate on local issues, but now? He's doing whatever he wants, and it ain't what his constituents want.

Post by: MLC on May 11, 2013, 07:56:55 PM: I got the same generic form letter response. FQ, I really hope you're right and it's his last term. He has got to go, and I hope and pray we Floridians can outnumber the Floridiots so we can get somebody useful to take his seat.
