Today's Five-Minute Activism

ACTION ALERT: YOUR SENATORS NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU! [More]
Your Republican senators, that is.

I discarded the pre-written letter and composed my own:
Say 'No' to 'Red Herring' Gun Confiscation Laws 
Per a piece in The Wall Street Journal by Alan Dershowitz, a freaking liberal, for crying out loud: "Research shows that any group of people identified as future violent criminals will contain many more who will not be violent (false positives) than they will (true positives). More true positives mean more false ones. Such groups also fail to identify many future violent criminals (false negatives)."
Unless and until you are prepared to address that and the very real probability of abuses against citizens' rights, including denial of the true due process evidence standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt" with more than hollow con job weasel words, your voting to abet an enemy that wants to disarm Americans will expose you as a fraud and an oath-breaker. As such, are you really comfortable enough  with the way votes break in your state to take the fire out of the bellies of a huge core constituency? How about instead you use your position of influence and reach to educate voters, instead of taking the betrayer's way out?

Done. I added my own comments as well.
