Today I rec'd a packet from the NRA about the UN Arms Treaty.
There were 2 post cards in the envelope.
One for each of my Senators.
I decided they didn't quite reflect the outrage I felt, so I wrote my own response to them.
Dear Senator,
In 1978, when I joined the military, I took an oath to defend the Constitution (and it's Amendments) "against ALL enemies foreign & domestic". You also took an oath that included that same statement.
I hereby request that you vote no to the UN Arms Treaty as it would cause an Amendment to our Constitution to be null & void.
I personally would view a "no" vote as merely living up to that oath. Conversely, a "Yea" vote would be construed as an act of treason. I would therefore be required, by my oath, to pursue impeachment proceedings.
I do NOT wish to seem unreasonable, but this issue is so anti-American, that no other stand can even be considered. I sincerely hope you agree.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey

I beg of you to contact your senators as well.
