Re: NEW CALL TO ACTION: Campus Carry
I am mostly a one issue voter and that is the reestablishment of our 2nd Amendment rights. Also, usually those who I feel support my views concerning the 2nd also fall into my way of thinking concerning most if not all of the other issues. But now, I am starting to feel that this is a party directed stance. I have written John Carter on my thoughts concerning ACOE property and received a decidedly anti-carry message. I have now received my previous message from Jimmie Don Aycock and he is backing away from furthering the 2nd Amendment. They just want to hold the line at status quo. We need to hold these folks accountable, how? I don't know. Perhaps they feel that with them running on the Republican ticket they will always be shoe ins. I cannot and will not vote for anything on the liberal/democratic ticket. Hopefully someone will run against these partial conservatives, so that I can vote them out. Maybe we can call the Republican Party Chairman, Steve Munisteri and express our displeasure. I attended several grassroots meetings and it was always promised that the 2nd would be one of their priorities. I am disappointed...

Re: NEW CALL TO ACTION: Campus Carry
From my representative, Jimmie Don Aycock:
DISTRICT 54 UPDATE
The Office of Representative Jimmie Don Aycock
Greetings Friends, Constituents and Supporters:
Today, I voted to remove a controversial amendment, known as the "Guns on Campus" amendment, from an appropriations bill. The amendment would have allowed concealed handguns to be carried on college campuses.
While I strongly support 2nd amendment rights, I do not believe this is an issue that should have been attached to an appropriations bill. I have received phone calls from constituents in District 54 and across the state urging me to oppose this measure.
For those of you who support "Guns on Campus", please know I understand your concerns, and my decision to vote "no" was not taken lightly.
Thank you for your time and interest. If I may be of any assistance, please contact me or my staff at either our Capitol or District office. Our District Phone is (254)690-1752. Our Capitol office is located in the extension: E2.710 Mailing address: P. O. Box 2910, Austin, TX 78768. Phone (512) 463-0684. You can also email me at District54.Aycock@house.state.tx.us
Another pro-2nd amendment congressman. Thanks there Jimmie Don for being such a strong supporter of 2nd amendment rights, Bah!!! Gosh, I hope he isn't pro something else I believe in. With friends like this who needs enemies...I know this is in the area of call to action, if it is in the wrong area please remove and accept my apologies . Thanks.
