E-mail titled "Contributions" which I sent to Republican Senate Minority Leader and Senate Whip on 5/26/2011
Senator McConnell, I am a veteran, recently retired, and since retirement I make weekly contributions to Conservative causes and politicians which promote a smaller and constitutionally based federal government. I have developed a strategy which allows me to have an influence on politicians who feel safe because I live in Texas and can not "vote" for them. What I do is to Google their next re-election date, and then Google their possible opponents in order to make a contribution to the opponent who seems to be the strongest Conservative for the cause I am interested in. Currently I am making "opponent" contributions at an approximately 30% level of my total contributions.
I received an e-mail today that tells me that you and Senator Kyle seem to be of little help in promoting Senator Paul's proposal to protect lawful gun owner's right to privacy from federal interference and also federal restrictions on lawful ownership. Just like my position on immigration I try to promote lawful use, hinder unlawful use, and prevent my government from passing laws which turn normally lawful individual rights into new "crimes" as in the potential ObamaCare disaster. I am contacting Senator Kyle's office separately, but since both your voice mailboxes (202-224-2541 and 202-224-4521) are full (not allowing messages), and the Congressional Switchboard 202-224-3121) could not leave a message for you, I am e-mailing your local office in Louisville, Kentucky. If I receive no response from you to my questions here I will try phoning your DC and local office in a couple of days, assuming that you will have staff listening to and compiling voice messages and then erasing them, to express my point of view.
I agree completely with Thomas Jefferson's view: "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms..disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one."

Please respond to this e-mail with your position on Senator Paul's proposal, so I can decide whether you fit into my donation plan, or if an opponent might be a better fit. Yes, I am from Texas and yes I can have an influence on any congressional politician in any state in the United States of America.
Expecting your reply soon and God bless America.
