Many of the blogosphere's earlier efforts at <click on the link to send your rep a nastygram> are starting to generate the typical canned replies. One came in this AM from a local Dem in Congress who has, thus far, managed to hold onto his power & grow it a little - by pandering to the rhetoric of the moment at the nearest big city. He's also the Minority Whip and on the Health and Ways & Means Cmte's. The return fire went like this:

Dear Rep. Kind,
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I note with interest your comment here:
"And we can and should be enforcing stricter penalties for gun trafficking to stop the spread of illegal weapons across our borders and among our communities."
Does that mean you will support measures currently ongoing in Congress that hold Attorney General Eric Holder and others in the Department of Justice and BATFE accountable for the weapons consciously allowed to funnel to murdering cartels operating against us and our neighbors to the south in Mexico?
I share with all rational people sadness over any events like Sandy Hook, not just the latest one on the news. Yet I wonder how those who are dancing on the graves of the children & teachers to move their long-standing agenda of firearm confiscation (Sen. Feinstein's own words, on the record) would feel about Photo ID in order to vote, and a full multi-agency background check to get that ID.
This is not about hunting & sportsmen in Wisconsin and you and the rest of Congress know it. And, not that it should matter, more voters in your district are watching your votes on this than you might realize. Gun control is not about guns, it never has been. It's about control by a few. You're a product of a good education and should know that as well. Conduct yourself accordingly as an American.
Respectfully,

Charitable mood today; civility included the possum last night that wisely chose not to push the issue. I think ZD put some weird juju on his avatar....
