Contact your California Legislators and voice our opinion!

Hola, The noise level about gun rights, gun ownership, coyote hunting, bear hunting, 2nd amendments, Bill of Rights, Our Constitutional rights, Sandy Hook, Colorado shooting and on and on and on.  Is this not getting a little out of hand.  Where is the common sense to solve these issues and be logical about the solutions.

Common Sense people are informed people and take action(voting) on social issues. Common Sense people think about the issues and find out the truth about the issues and act accordingly. They are not influenced by the ill-informed media who only cares about ratings and sensationalism.

I talked to people all the time who do not hunt, are not sporting participants, are not against owning guns or against hunting, but are  just citizens trying to live their lives. Interestingly, when asked about hunting and gun ownership, most say they believe in the 2nd amendment and the need for managing wildlife with hunting as one of the options.

They are not afraid of guns and ownership, in fact, many have guns. What is missing is action to voice their logical comments. They are just too busy to make a statement of record. Apathy is the biggest culprit for change or no change in addressing the policies being discussed right now. Why? because the "squeaky wheel gets the grease" The anti's are vocal, organized, and make the most noise about these issues while the majority of reasonable citizens are apathetic to the causes.

Are you a logical citizen who wants to voice your opinion? Well here is how you do it.


How do you  contact your individual state legislators.  Please go to http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/ ; enter your street address, city and zip code and your California state senator and assembly member will be displayed. 

Clicking on those names will take you to the state legislator's home page which provides contact information, biographical information, etc. about that legislator.  Because of redistricting, only one-half of the senators (odd-numbered districts) were elected in 2012; the remainder (even-numbered districts) will be elected in 2014.

Ok, this is how you let your opinions known to your elected officials. Simple but you have to do it or your apathy will prevail. 

Obviously, these views are mine. I just feel the majority needs to be heard. Thanks Dan for your motivation to address this issue.
