I'll be sending some faxes asking him to reconsider his opposition and to unite with his fellow senators in advancing the freedoms we enjoy as Texans.

Rambling and fence sitting is not a bad thing nessecarily when your oponent does it. Many times it follows the line of 'better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.' Incoherant arguments will turn a lot of people off, and sometimes actually sway them in the other direction. The opponents that have logical arguments and can clearly speak to them are the ones that scare me.

Chas.

Would you happen to have any suggested wording or specific things to ask of his office--other than to pull his head out of the sand?

I'll jump in here too.

Being catty or hateful in the calls will not be helpful and may even hurt any potential for positive votes on other firearms bills. The best method is to 'respectfully' state you were 'disappointed in his opposition to SB 354 and would appreciate if he would reconsider his stance on the bill. And that you would request he support other firearms bills that are currently going through the Senate.'

That is a business-like method and will not be controversial or confrontational.
