Mass mailing to Wolf and Toomey

[PA_Robert]

In the other sand box I play in, we are planning to have a coordinated mass mailing to Wolf and Toomey.

In previous years they were able to get about 400 people to do it.

With enough lead time maybe we can get more. I attached a rough draft.

Thoughts?

I didn't see where it read he will be dragged to the streets and tarred and feathered.

Wow, that letter will scare the crap out of him [sarc]

I guess you're right. I'll go back to watching dancing with the stars, eating my mcnuggets and sucking down some miller lights.

I'm sure the presence of lobbyists, mad mothers at the capitol, and people at rallies have no impact...and Fuck it, why bother voting.

When the laws are passed, when they want our guns registered and when they have their buy back, I guess that's when cunts like you will get out and do something.

Damn.

[PA_Robert]

Damn.

I don't know if the "damn" was meant for my strong response. But if it was, to be honest, the more PA gun owners I meet and come across, the more I feel I'm wasting my time and money.

It's very frustrating with the old retirees, fudds, NRA members, and rednecks. They have no interest in being active to defend their rights. The NRA members think the NRA has their back, the fudds think they won't come for their guns (evil black guns first..your sniper rifles are next), the rednecks don't realize that even though they will not comply, there are other means and pressure to make people comply.

I applaud the effort behind the letter.
I'm not sure that it accomplishes its intent.

Wolf already knows he is violating our constitutional rights, he doesn't care.
To him it's a political calculation, does the Democrat Party have enough votes to continue to seize power, or does attacking the 2A harm this overall goal.

In his calculation, he is not concerned with threats of criminal action since he knows the letter writers don't have the political power to make it happen.
He also knows that the PA Supreme Court is now controlled by Democrats, and any legal action ultimately will be ruled in his favor.

So in essence, the question boils down to what is gained or lost by this letter in its current form, as opposed to what is gained by a letter campaign itself.
If we agree that the current letter will be received as politically unsupported, then what you're sending is a threat with no weight behind it.

Threatening people is a touchy thing.
True threats intimidate people and alter their decisions, empty threats make the threatening party look weak and vulnerable.

Liberal Democrats have been using threats and violence effectively for a while now, and they can do so because their ranks are full of uneducated, unemployed criminals.
Conservatives are predominantly law abiding tax payers with a lot to lose by criminal action, and as a result the majority can't behave violently.

The Democrats know this and they use it against us.
They know that short of civil war, most Conservatives have too much to lose to take up arms and storm the Capitol.

So short of violence against Liberal Democrat unconstitutional governance, and short of successful legal action against same, all that is left is voter participation.
GOA/FOAC letter campaigns and political engagement are effective because they represent the valid threat of motivated voter reaction to anti 2A political activity.

Similarly, your grassroots letter campaign will be most effective if the threat it conveys is realistic and actionable.
Communicating that the PA 2A community has had enough and is now organizing motivated voter turnout is probably the best message you can send.

It's your show over there, but if you want my 2 cents there it is.
I appreciate your effort irrespective of your message, since stoking the 2A political groundswell is valuable in almost any form.

If you want me to fine tune the letter I can, but it looks to me like your people know how to write and only need input rather than editing.

Good intentions, but I agree that Wolf and Toomey couldn't care less about what gun owners/2A proponents think. Such letters are just discarded. We need to work on the population so they vote them out next election.

Send a copy to Shapiro.

Convince the voters that elected Wolf and his gang that they made a mistake.
