Got a reply from Bob Corker

[Guest truthsayer]

I sent him an email blasting him for his vote to confirm Eric Holder as AGUS.

Here is his reply.

"

Dear Mr. Nunyadambidniss,

Thank you for taking the time to contact my office to share your concerns about the nomination of Eric Holder for Attorney General of the United States. Your input is important to me and I appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts.

I recognize the importance of ensuring that a highly qualified and knowledgeable person serves as our Attorney General. As a general rule, I believe in allowing discretion to the President to choose the people he wants to fill his Cabinet. However, I had significant concerns with Mr. Holder's nomination for Attorney General due to his record as Deputy Attorney General and his past analysis of the 2nd Amendment. After carefully reviewing the testimony from Mr. Holder's confirmation hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee, while I may disagree with some of Mr. Holder's views, there was nothing that would disqualify him from this position.

You should know that I fully support the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision striking down the District of Columbia's handgun ban because I strongly believe in protecting our constitutional rights. This decision is exceptionally significant because for the first time in our nation's history, the Supreme Court has affirmed that gun ownership is an individual right protected by the Constitution.

The right to own firearms for shooting, hunting, and self-protection is important to me as a Tennessean and as an American. I believe in safeguarding the rights of law-abiding American citizens. I will be a consistent voice for the second amendment, and I will fight attempts to weaken those rights that are granted in the Constitution.

Please take note of the attached "Policy Points" document to learn more about the steps I have taken to protect our 2nd Amendment rights.

Thank you again for your letter. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts with me.

Sincerely,

Bob Corker

United States Senator"

How about your gut, pansy? This is why we have no leadership, no statesmen.

Bob Corker’s Policy Points

Compiled by the Legislative Team of U.S. Senator Bob Corker

Bob Corker: Protecting Your Right to Bear Arms

As a hunter and sportsman, Senator Bob Corker is a strong advocate for the Second Amendment. He believes the constitution provides law abiding citizens the freedom to keep and bear arms.

ü Support for an Individual Right.

Senator Corker supports the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down the DC handgun ban and affirming that gun ownership is an individual right.

ü

“I am committed to safeguarding the rights of law-abiding American citizens, and in the Senate I will be a consistent voice for the second amendment and fight attempts to weaken those rights that are granted in the Constitution.â€

- Senator Bob Corker

Support for Restoring the Second Amendment. Senator Corker was one of the original Cosponsors of S.1001, a bill to restore Second Amendment rights in the District of Columbia. At that time, the citizens of Washington DC were required to register all privately owned firearms and possession of a handgun within the Washington DC city limits was prohibited. This bill would have allowed the ownership of a firearm, including a handgun, in Washington DC.

ü Prohibit funding for groups who infringe on the Second Amendment. Senator Corker voted for an amendment that would prohibit any funding to foreign organizations that infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of lawful American citizens.

ü Support for Conceal and Carry Laws. Senator Corker supports allowing state conceal and carry laws that would allow people to carry concealed weapons in National Parks and Refuges if state laws allow it.

ü Support for National Shooting Sports Foundation. Senator Corker supported the nomination of a National Shooting Sports Foundation representative to be appointed to the Defense Trade Advisory Group to represent the interests of small arms manufacturers. This appointment will protect the interests of small arms manufactures within this group

Got the same form letter. Thanks for posting for those who did not voice their opinion to Bob. At least he knows we're out here. There are probably just as many folks who praise him for voting the way he did.

I got the same thing when I sent him a RANT on another issue. Just like the rest of the boys in DC he's doing some CYA. The whole bunch is just about useless

[Guest stovepipe]

Damn, I thought my reply from Corker was personal... But then, he's replying to my GOA preprinted post card... I guess it's payback.

Stick a cork in it, Bob.

We all know you go along to get along.

[Guest malbolja]

I quit reading his replies. They always amount to the same thing:

Dear Peasant:

Screw you, I'm going to do whatever the hell I want and I don't give a s*** what you think.

Bob

[oldogy]

Guys and girls,

Let us not be too hard on Bob. If the folks of TN were dumb enough we could have someone like Dirty Harry Reed or UpChuck Shumer representing us:D

Just sprayed my keyboard with coffee over that comment. I got the same canned response from Corker and Alexander. But, as oldogy sez, we could have much worse Senators.

I got two so far. Guess I'll be getting more. Goes to show you that they have their head in their a**es and refuse to listen. Guess We need to work tward votin time!

[GLOCKMEISTER]

Guys it could be worse, would you rather have a Ford representing you?????

Oh hell no, you did not just go there.

[Guest jackdog]

I firmly believe regardless of political party that 99% of the people in our federal government, really wants the 2nd amendment to stand. 2A is the last stop gap from these Asshats throwing the entire constitution in the gutter. This crap will never stop until we stop it. I truly do not believe it can be accomplished via the ballot box, the political elite want to strengthen their position of cushy. jobs and benies. Now if

I had the magic solution to this issue I would be the next coming no doubt.
