Americans,
I have just sent this letter to the President via Email. While I have little hope that he will ever see it, I am hopeful that if enough of us write to him in time to do so, perhaps we can stop this abomination of a bill from becoming law.
Of note, this is the bill that the House voted to "suspend the rules" and voice-vote into passage, and now the Senate has done likewise, voting it into passage "by unanimous consent", denying us the knowledge of which traitors in the Congress voted to disarm our veterans and who knows how many other Americans solely because they might have at some point had a reason to see a psychologist or psychiatrist. No unelected medical person should have the ability to prevent an honest citizen from purchasing the means by which he or she may save his or her own life.
Please write today-tomorrow may be too late.
Thank you.
Dear Mr. President,
Today, the US Senate passed a bill called the "NICS Improvement Act", HR 2640, by "unanimous consent". This bill has the possibility to be used to permanently disarm many of our veterans who have given years of their lives and in some cases, parts of their bodies to defend the rights our Founding Fathers fought to protect. Some, including the NRA, say that this bill is a good thing because it gives a remedy to those who have somehow found themselves mistakenly placed on a list forbidding them to lawfully purchase firearms because they had post-traumatic, but not necessarily permanent reactions to combat-related stress. Sir, no American citizen should have to prove him- or herself worthy of being allowed to defend him- or herself, least of all our military veterans.
It is for this reason that I urge you in the strongest possible terms to veto HR 2640.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Most sincerely,
