GMC, I borrowed one of your paragraphs, then corrected mechanics on the whole:
Here goes:
Dear Representative Crabb,
I write to gain your support in voting for HB 284 authored by Representative Joe Driver of Garland.
The bill is modeled after Florida's landmark law, creating presumptions of reasonable use of defensive force in one’s home, vehicle, or place of business. The bill will declare that a citizen has "no duty to retreat" from a violent attack if the citizen is in a place where he or she has a right to be, and is not the initial aggressor nor engaged in criminal activity.
HB 284 also establishes protection from civil lawsuits if a citizen is lawfully protecting self or family.
When this law is passed, citizens can defend themselves and their loved ones’ lives without having to second guess their legal options, facing the possibility of losing everything they’ve worked for their entire adult lives in a civil action. The similar legislation in Florida has been quite successful, bringing benefits to Florida citizens with no negative impacts to the good citizens of that state.
I appreciate your service to the citizens of Crosby and Harris County. Again, I would like to ask that you support and vote in favor of HB 284.
Sincerely,

How does this letter sound? I want your feedback, additions, or deletions before sending. (And if you like it, feel free to C&P.) Diode, I took one of your paragraphs and worked with it.
