Yesterday, the Senate Leadership decided not to send SF1357 – the Cornish “Stand Your Ground” bill – to the Governor.
I ran this last night on the blog – but it’s worth another go. Here’s my letter:
sen.amy.koch@senate.mn; sen.geoff.michel@senate.mn; sen.doug.magnus@senate.mn; sen.david.senjem@senate.mn; sen.dave.thompson@senate.mn; sen.chris.gerlach@senate.mn; sen.michelle.fischbach@senate.mn; sen.gen.olson@senate.mn
Subject: Please Vote On SF1357
Senators,
I’m Mitch Berg. I know, and have interviewed, not a few of you. I’m a constituent of Mary Jo McGuire, so I don’t expect a lot of sanity from my own “representation”.
But having heard that the Senate has refused to vote on SF1357, I have to say I expected better from a GOP-led Senate.
I ask you to please reconsider this, and bring the bill to the floor and send it to the Governor. As he ran as a “Second-Amendment-Friendly” gubernatorial candidate.
Sincerely,
Mitch Berg
Saint Paul
If you’re a Second Amendment supporter, it’s go-time – again. Call your Senator. Email the whole list above. Be polite, but let them know – we gun owners have long memories, and when it comes to having our votes taken for granted, we did our time back in the nineties.
No more.
UPDATE: Rob Doar is equally unamused.
Don’t you get tired of constantly “defending” these so-called rights, Winston?
