When did you get the action alert?

Either I have not received it yet, am signed up for the wrong list, or missed it in the recent summary.

Thanks!

I got it a few hours ago on Monday. Check your spam folder.

I'm glad he signed onto the letter, but um where is his NPS(National Park Service) carry bill?

The strategy that the proponents of National Park carry have beenpursuing this session is pushing the regulatory change -- via the letter --not legislation.

The only legislationI have been able to find on this is Rep. Ron Paul's in the House, and he has only been able to attract one co-sponsor.

Webb is a co-sponsor of S.388, which is the national concealed carry reciprocity bill.

if you missed the alert (once in a blue moon your ISP or spam software may bounce it), go to http://www.vcdl.org and on the main page, there are links to the last 3-4 alerts.

**Forty-seven** Senators have co-signed a letter from Senator Mike Crapo to Dirk Kempthorne, Secretary of the Department of the Interior

Does anyone know how much influence Kempthorne has on the decision? For those that don't know, Kempthorne was Governor of Idaho. Maybe Crapo and Craig could lean on him a little? Like I said, I don't know if Kempthorne has any say in it. And I'm not sure I love his stance on the 2A.

Thanks for the links - fyi the deep archive one doesn't work - it just takes you to the same "Alert" page.

Also fyi, VCDL's hotlink doesnt't work either!

It only took him NINE MONTHS to co-sponsor this, he isn't pushing for it, and he STILL has not answered my six letters asking for his position on it.


Jim Webb, IMHO, is an arrogant SOB. I believe he finally sponsored s.388 so he can brag to those people not smart enough or savvy enoughto see what he's doing.

double-tap. Sorry.



I'd love to call him names more often, but it really serves no purpose.

Sen. Webb might consider that the time to introduce such a bill may be coming up shortly if DOI blows off this letter.

Both of the links above work fine for me on Internet Explorer.

What do you mean by " VCDL's hotlink"?

Webb is better than Senator Warner any day of the week.

It looks like Jim Gilmore will probably be the nominee to replace Warner, and there probably won't be an election. The party wants to nominate him by convention.

Oh, I agree Webb beats Warner on most issues.

Doesn't make him good, just the lesser of two evils.

NOW it works! Hmmmm

By hotlink (probably the wrong word) I meant the blue text you click on that takes you to another web page. Hypertext? I can't remember the term...?

As I recall, originaly he acknowledged your letter, but did not state his position.

Ashe is now a co-sponsor of S. 388, I think you have an answer to your question. IfWebb was so intent on "bragging," I think you would have gotten a more wordy answer.

But you are not the only oneI have heard who has expressed some frustration with scheduling and responsiveness on written inquiries to electeds recently.

With the proliferation of interest groups, many of whomflood these offices with inquiries by means of"push button" technology through the Internet, it is no wonder that individuals with passions on specific issues get lost in the deluge.

I cannot imagine that these offices want to be anything but responsive to their constituencies. Nevertheless, it istroubling thatsometimes voices are lost in the clamor. I hope that the electeds staffs find better ways to cope.

Webb isfar betterthan the lesser of two evils: He isa fiercely independent voice, andI am proud tohave him as my Senator.

You recall incorrectly. He has never acknowledge my questions on this issue. I would not have stated he didn't if in fact he had.

I did get a form letter from him on another issue; perhaps that's what you remember.

I very much see him as the lesser of evils. He appears to be stuck in the "freshman Democrat" mold rather than the US Senator mold.
