A few months ago I emailed my Congress woman concerning HR822. Well now, 2-3 months later I get a reply. I started reading and when I saw that she was one of the 245 Cosponsors I kind of thought I might just get along good with my new Congress woman, it's her first term. Then I read the second paragraph and I'm now wondering where she really stands.
This being a new Congress woman I'm watching her pretty close, and if she's good I want to keep her around but if she's a fence straddler I'll find another person to cast a vote for. Pro 2A Democrat's aren't terribly hard to find in this district.
Anyway with no further ado... her response:
The Cosponsor part is great but that last paragraph sounds a little questionable to me. Just as a side note I believe a outright 2A anti would never make it in this district, but a flip flopping fence straddler might stay off the radar for years, while doing serious damage.
BTW: I'm not wanting a political conversation, I'm just watching my new Congress woman close, and I can't decide if I'm reading something into this that isn't there or if she is trying to leave room to flip flop. As of now this is basically the only 2A feedback I have on her.
Copied straight from my email, what do you think?

Dear Mr. XXX:
Thank you for contacting my office regarding H.R. 822, the National Right to Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011. Your thoughts and opinions about this issue are very important to me, and I very much appreciate your input.
H.R. 822 is bipartisan legislation that I have cosponsored designed to expand and further protect the 2nd amendment rights of American gun owners. As the representative for Alabama’s 7th Congressional District I will continue to work with diligence and persistence to protect the legitimate rights of law-abiding American gun owners; and moving forward, I will continue to keep your thoughts and opinions in mind on this and other legislation.
I am a supporter of common sense gun laws, and the strict enforcement of existing gun laws. We need to develop a comprehensive and balanced approach, one that keeps our communities safe while protecting our 2nd Amendment rights and ensuring that Americans continue to enjoy the right to bear arms.
Once again, thank you for contacting my office regarding H.R 822. I look forward to hearing from you in the future on this and other issues of importance to our community, the state of Alabama, and our nation.
Sincerely,
Terri Sewell
Member of Congress
