Letter to Governor
I wrote this letter and sent it to Governor Strickland today. I was just thinking it would be good to send acknowledgment to a politician who 'gets' the importance of the First and Second Amendment. This might be a good time to look for allies where we might not normally and send them a note of thanks and praise. Any use of my letter in its entirety or part is fine as long as its message is not misconstrued. Lets keep this positive.

As one who looks with suspicion at every politician - especially ones with a (D) after their name - I am very happy with Gov. Strickland's record on civil rights relating to firearms. He signed a law that "liberalized" the concealed carry laws here in Ohio this year and made a bad situation more than tolerable.
I'll try to get a similar letter out to him this weekend. It is always a good idea when communicating with the (D) types, to get them talking about civil rights and show them how gun rights dovetail nicely with other civil rights.

In a similar vein, what would everyone think about compiling a list of pro-2A Democrats and making it a sticky in order to more effectively organize a letter writing campaign similar to this? One that comes immediately to mind is Rep. Baron Hill of Indiana. While he is a Democrat, he was endorsed by the NRA with an A rating.

Get enough pro-2A legislators, of all parties, and I can do some editing to make it just a couple of posts (easy reading)... Just might be the thing to do.

OK, since we're being bipartisan: Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is rated A+ by the NRA and Indiana U.S. Representative Mike Pence is rated A by the NRA.
