Well, it was a good try.
Unfortunately, my states representatives here in Virginia are both dems and chose to vote with their cohorts.
I have just finished writing them each a letter stating my feelings about their vote.
At least they will know how I feel and I am sure I am not the only one!
Below is a copy of the letter I sent to each of them.
Just stated the facts.

Sir:
I want to take a moment of your time and say that I don't think your NAY vote on the LEE Amendment represents the feelings of the majority of the voters in Virginia. We are a state deep in our heritage and firearms and the legal ownership of such is and always has been a very important part of this states culture. From the beginning of this nation up through the settling of the west, VIRGINIA has always been at the front in leadership of this country. As such, our leaders and representatives have always up held the voters ideas and values, for it was our forefathers that put it down on paper, "A GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE, OF THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE". Those words hold special meaning to so many AMERICANS, yet we feel that our elected officials are no longer following these words and have taken it upon themselves to do as they wish or as their political party tells them to. That IS NOT what you were elected for. Remember Sir, you still work for the people. It's not the other way around. You were elected and by the same means can be replaced. I am not registered with any political party but I do consider myself a patriot first and a conservative second. I believe in our BILL OF RIGHTS and the UNITED STATES CONSTUTION and all that they stand for. I will not stand by and watch as this administration tears these documents apart piece by piece. I consider it a privilege and my duty to vote in each and every election and I will continue to do so. I try to be open minded about all things but I do tend to vote for whom I feel alien's themselves as close as possible with my ideals and for whom I feel is best for the job of representing our great state. Your recent voting record and your far left leaning ideas have given me cause for concern. I will take these traits into heavy consideration when the next elections come around. In closing I would like to thank you for your time and to offer a thank you in advance should you decide to offer a reply to this message. Sincerely: Frank Artrip[/font][/color]
