I recently sent the following letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell:
I am one of thousands of Americans, Republican, Democrat, Independent, who are urgently asking you to reconsider now, and agree to bring all the measures previously passed by the House of Representatives, which relate to gun control, to the Senate floor.
It’s clear, Sen. McConnell, that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree that the time is NOW to make the necessary changes to our gun laws.
If you do this, you will be the world-recognized hero to millions of U.S. citizens, who are desperately asking Congress to accomplish something on gun legislation. Persons will now look upon you as a hero from Kentucky, not as the obstinate piece of granite that you are now viewed.
You don’t need the approval of the NRA! You can win re-election on your own. It’s okay to thumb your nose at them, especially with the news lately of their infighting and unlawful attempts for personal gain by their leaders.
Please answer this directly to me. I am an 89-year-old independent voter here in Johnson County, Kansas, who like you, seeks improvement in our government and our laws.
Thank you in advance for your service to your country and to the Senate. I look forward to your response.
