Default My E-Mail To My Senator, Charles Schumer

Cuomo is really starting to feel the heat now for passing that insane gun control law in NYS. I just felt that it was my civic duty to send this to my senator....

Senator Schumer,



With the utmost respect for you, and your office, I implore you to work for not only NYS residents, but for all of the citizens of the United States, in the repeal of the terrible piece of legislation put forth by Andrew Cuomo called the New York Safe Act.

I, and many of my coworkers and neighbors in East Aurora, feel that the NYS legislature, and Andrew Cuomo, acted without due process, and enacted the law without public consent or support. It was unconscionable how it passed in the midnight hour, without a three day waiting period, and, during a weekday, while New Yorkers slept.

How they thought that any educated person wouldn’t smell fish is beyond my comprehension.

That being said, the law itself is utterly ridiculous!

How will any provision put forth in that law, save one life???

It won’t.

It is tantamount to another money grab by NY State.

My taxes are now going to go up again, now that Chris Jacobs will have to hire more employees to take care of the paper work involved and so forth. This is not my idea of creating jobs, but just another way to drive honest, hard working, God fairing people out of New York.

I could go on and on but I’m sure that you get my drift. You have worked very hard for our district, and still are, and believe me Mr. Schumer, that is not lost on us common folk. You personally have done a lot of good for our district, and the country.

We, however, do see what is going on in Albany, and quite frankly, it’s sickening. They need to be held accountable, and only their bosses can do that.

Please, Senator Schumer, I implore you to use your leadership abilities, and help in repealing the NYS SAFE Act.

Let’s get New York State back to the great state that it once was !



PS. It took 7 months and three weeks to process my pistol permit application. That is just unacceptable.

My wife Liz applied two months ago, pre-Newtown… They’re saying it’ll be 15 months. Really?

If Erie County were a publicly traded company, they would be out of business, with service like that.



Best Regards,





Jeff

Really, you are asking Charles Schumer, one of the most out spoken gun control advocates, to help repeal a new gun law????
I'm sorry I would not have even wasted the effort.
Good Luck though!

You have to do what you feel is right. I've email Sen Casey ( D Pa ) numerous times too. He speaks out both sides of his mouth at the same time

His phone has been overloaded for days now, and his e-mail is full. These guys are feeling pressure from even the most laid back constituents, like myself. The more people that e-mail and call, the more these politicians will give pause to what they have done...
Cuomo looked like absolute hell on the news yesterday. He is getting beat up severely over this, and his popularity rating is plummeting. I really think that he knows that he made a bad mistake....

I've sent e-mail to Porky Pete Visclosky on numerous occasions. He never fails to let me down with his socialist give away politics.

It's good to see someone take the time and effort to address this issue. I applaud your doing this. However, Schumer, along with Pelosi,are two of the last a$$holes I would ever trust on gun control issues. I don't see a thing that either one has done for this country.

He's done a lot for the reform of the FAA and airline safety. He's done a lot for our district as well. A hell of a lot more than any of the other swine ever did.
Hey...A little sugar goes a long way.

Maybe for your district. But that's not the country.

You fly on publicly traded airlines, across state lines, I assume?
If so, you just may be a wee bit safer due to his constant pressure on the NTSB , after the crash of flight 3407 in Clarence NY.
I'd say that was for all citizens of the USA that fly.

OK, that a plus 1 for airline safety, how far in the negative column is he for decades of trying to reduce our 2nd Amendment rights?
