My letter today to W, FWIW:

Re: Assault Weapon Ban: NO

President Bush, I want you to be reelected this year and have worked for your election in 2000. I believe that you are a good man and the best choice to lead this country.

Please, take a stand now AGAINST the so-called 'Assault Weapon Ban' renewal. This ineffective and unconstitutional law MUST be allowed to sunset this year.

As an active Republican, I am hearing disturbing talk from formerly loyal Republicans in my district and on the internet. Many are saying that if you sign a renewal of the Assault Weapon Ban, they will stay home in protest and NOT VOTE this November.

As you know, this election may be close and you cannot afford to have thousands or millions of your core base refuse to turn out or refuse to volunteer in the campaign.

This issue is a key one for many, many Republican voters like myself. Please stay true to us and true to the Constitution on this one; let the AWB sunset, do not sign it. Thank you Sir.

Good letter! This is the ideal response of those who support Bush to those of us who have had it with him.

Good letter. I won't stay home though I just won't vote for Bush.
