Warner’s current term has been the furthest to the left of any of them. I’ve had some correspondence from him that sounded like it came from Senator Dianne Feinstein’s desk. One in particular comes to mind, when I questioned his support of the “assault” weapons ban. He replied that it has been proven to save lives. When I again wrote and asked for some data to back up the claim, nothing was forthcoming. It was the first time his office failed to answer my query.
I could have understood if his explanation had something to do with the “give and take” of politics – bit it didn’t.
I got exactly the same letter from Warner regarding assault weapons. In fact, I have a remarkably similar letter regarding Terri Schiavo, another about taxes, and another about spending. They basically say, "Thanks for your opinion. Now f*** off."
