A letter I sent today to Sens. Baucus, Heitkamp, Begich and Pryor
Dear Senators Baucus, Heitkamp, Begich and Pryor:
I write, as a fellow Democrat, to express my utter disgust for the complete lack of humanity you demonstrated with your cowardly vote against allowing a vote on the bill requiring universal background checks for gun purchasers. I expected as much from Republican senators, who have long since given up even the pretense of trying to do the right thing for the country. I did not expect it from any Democrat.
I understand you were concerned that voting to allow a vote on the bill might have made you vulnerable to attack by the NRA, and thus might have been a risk to your retention of your Senate seat. But as a moral matter, your first obligation is to do what is right for the American people, NOT to protect your own political hide! That you could take such a vote, even as the families of Newtown victims looked on from the Senate gallery only serves to underscore your own moral depravity. You are a disgrace to your Party and to the office you hold, and if you had so much as a shred of decency, would promptly tender your resignation.
Sincerely,
Mark P. Kessinger

would matter.
90% of Americans supported the bill. ANYBODY with any moral conscience would support the bill. They're all f--ktards and there's nothing we can do about it except vote them out in the next round (and when we're voting we have to choose between evil and bad in many cases!).
