Response from Sen. Dick Durbin:
...THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST GENERIC FORM LETTER, EVER.........[xx(]
...It took his staff 3 weeks to get this crap to me in response to an email.
Dear Friend:
Thank you for your message about gun control. I appreciate knowing your views on this important issue.
I am not against the possession of guns. Americans are entitled to own and use guns in a responsible fashion. Strong penalties for violent crimes involving firearms should be part of any effort to reduce gun violence. I have consistently supported tough crime control and prevention initiatives since coming to Congress.
Enforcing our nation's existing gun control laws must remain a high priority. I support efforts that address illegal possession and use of firearms. Common sense restrictions such as the Brady Law and the Assault Weapons Ban are supported by law enforcement officials who must patrol our streets. These laws help protect people from crime and violence without infringing on legitimate hunting and sporting uses of firearms.
I will continue to support efforts that help ensure our nation's gun laws are vigorously enforced. Thank you once again for contacting me.
Please feel free to stay in touch.
Sincerely,
Richard J. Durbin
United States Senator
RJD/jk
P.S. If you are ever visiting Washington, please feel free to join Senator Obama and me at our weekly constituent coffee. When the Senate is in session, we provide coffee and donuts every Thursday at 8:30 a.m. as we hear what is on the minds of Illinoisans and respond to your questions. We would welcome your participation. Please call my D.C. office for more details.

it took 3 weeks because it had to go to 10 differant lawers to make sure it was PC. It was nice of him to invite you for coffie and donuts though[xx(] 0 -
You realize he just told you to kiss his ass, don't you?
I refer you to these sentences...
"Common sense restrictions such as the Brady Law and the Assault Weapons Ban are supported by law enforcement officials who must patrol our streets. These laws help protect people from crime and violence without infringing on legitimate hunting and sporting uses of firearms."0 -
...I'm guessing that's the same letter that goes to pro or anti gun people. Oh, and like I'll get to meet with Obama for coffee. Even if I wanted to, he's a little busy out raising millions. Never got even a form letter back from him, even though I requested a response. 0 -
I think the good senator and I have different definitions of common sense [xx(] 0 -
...I have written (em) my two Senators every week since this came up.
...Kay Baily Hutchison usually always responds w/ a from letter...Cornyn a REAL letter, signed in real ink...course he knows me now after writting him a thousand times [:D].
...This time however....I ACTUALLY recieved a real lettr from Hutchison stating she will vote agianst it if comes up for a vote.
...Cornyn in his real letter said the same.
...I am still writting them at least once a week on that bill and about the little weasel illegals....[;)]

Yup, sounds like a canned response.
So he says he supports UNconstitutional gun laws, and will continue to do so.0 -
doesnt infringe on sporting and hunting ha. Does too. Dont matter i still have a right to bear arms. 0 -
Wouldn't it be funny if some Senator or Congressman just said what they really wanted to say?
Dear (concerned voter):
F**k off.
Sincerely,
Senator So-and-so0 -
Its a good thing that you contacted him with your thoughts. Keep up the pressure. It would be good to go to the meeting with some like minded friends and express your displeasure about his lack of support for out second amendment rights. 0 -
Me, I SURE could use a free coffee and donut.
Anybody want to kick in the travel expenses ??
What a weasel. Definitely not a WOLVERINE !!
