Del. John Wood District 29A

[OEH]

In the past issue of the "County Times" http://countytimes.somd.com/archive/2013/01-jan/2013-01-10.pdf Del Wood (Dist. 29A) says "I agree with the Second Amendment but we are taking about a weapon for hunting or protecting your property." "Do we need assault weapons? I don't think so."

I think that some friendly correspondence form his constituents are needed to help him change his mind.

He isn't gonna change his mind, he has been a Delegate since the late 80's, at almost 80 yrs old it is time to vote him outta office and bring in a younger fresh perspective for St. Mary's County.......

Please show me in the Second Amendment where it mentions "Hunting" or "Protecting your property"? Have any of these idiots read the Second Amendment? If not they should shut up!... They seem a lot smarter when they don't speak!

We need to try to change every mind we can.

Never mind about changing his mind -- probably not possible since he has (D) behind his name and has been part of the Annapolis establishment forever.

But nevertheless concur with the recommendation that we barrage all of our representatives with snail-mail, phone-calls, and e-mails. Our messages must be polite and respectful messages, but they must also be both clear and strong.

And let's make it clear to those representatives who have relatively conservative constituencies that we will no longer tolerate that old Annapolis game of them asking Mike Busch and Mike Miller for permission to vote with their constituents, but only after the Mikes have ensured that there are already enough (D) votes to pass the legislation.

"Do we need assault weapons?"

My response would be:
The last time I checked, it was called the Bill Of Rights, not the Bill Of Needs.

Just emailed him and I will make sure to bring it up when I see him in a few weeks.

Best quote ever, seen on-line a few days ago:

"Rosa Parks did not necessarily NEED to sit in the front of the bus.

I do not necessarily NEED a black-rifle.

It's about RIGHTS!"
