Gun Rights Advocates, Contact all of your Reps with One Click! Do it NOW!

Stop being in denial. Our supposed reps aren't here for us they are here to control us and pillage. No calls, letters, debates will do nothing to reverse our plight. The antchrist(Obama) is not willed away. You'd better wake up to the reality we find ourselves in. Nothing has stopped our government from economically raping our children and grandchildren but some how you think petitioning our reps is gonna do any good? Your in denial the sooner you wake up the sooner we can resolve our problems collectively through our Constitution and our rights as citizens. The people have the rights to govern ourselves not a government over the people.
When will we rise up? After hundreds of our citizens are killed by the very government to protect us? Or will it be thousands perhaps millions then you wake up? By then it's too late. Wake America you have been subverted by a tyrannical government. The authors of the ConstitutionYes. Well it looks like civil war has started. Biden just came out and said that Obama will pass an executive to supersede the 2nd amendment. Militias all over the US are calling for all to organize and get ready. Every state has a militia allowed by law in the constitution to uphold the laws written. They all have an official website. Here's what it says. Given the rapid political changes occurring in our country it appears that the unorganized militia will be needed to provide for the personal and collective security of it's citizens and the preservation of our constitution and republican form of government. We will preserve our rights even unto death.
There you go! would have already been shooting by now against this tyranny.

I don't own a weapon, and I've stayed out of this argument thus far. I didn't have a dog in the fight, and I choose my battles carefully.

The thing is, this is very dangerous language for legislatures to be using. Who determines if someone is mentally ill? And what is the criteria for them being a danger to others? It's immoral and unconstitutional to lock up someone based on what some body else thinks they might do.

For instance, people on the autism spectrum are prone to short bursts of anger, and may lash out at someone in hot blood. For someone with autism to pre-meditate murder is highly unusual, and it doesn't make sense. My fear is this could steamroll to where they are locking up people with autism and other treatable mental illnesses the way they did in Germany in the 30's. It's time to speak up and ask some hard questions.

Dear Mr. xxxxxxxxxxxx:

Thank you for expressing your concerns over gun control and access to mental health care.

When our children and families are no longer safe at our schools, in our malls, and in our movie theaters, we as a country must take action. The shocking numbers of public shootings throughout the country last year, culminating in Newtown, Connecticut, demand that we engage in a serious national discussion.

Many people have expressed concerns about holes in our mental health care system that contributes to violence. Though people with mental illness are not at an increased risk of behaving violently in general, there is a subset of individuals with mental illness who are at risk of violent behavior of the kinds we have seen in public gathering places.

Over the last few years, Congress has passed laws to improve the mental health system so individuals in need of psychiatric evaluation, treatment, and support do not fall through the cracks. Several components of these laws have yet to be fully implemented.

In a bipartisan effort to ensure that mental and behavioral health services are covered by insurance in a manner equivalent to medical and surgical services. Congress passed the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act in 2008 This law prohibits insurance companies from arbitrarily limiting the number of hospital days or outpatient treatment sessions a patient is granted, as well as prohibiting higher copayments or deductibles for subscribers who seek psychological services. Such practices by insurance companies were both wrong and counterproductive. This legislation will help the 54 million Americans with mental illness gain access to appropriate and affordable treatment. My Senate colleagues and I have been working with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ensure this law is fully implemented. Additionally, I and several of my colleagues sent a letter to President Obama asking him and HHS to fully implement the law.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is also working to improve access to mental and behavioral health services. Individuals in Ohio who have been denied insurance coverage due to a pre-existing mental health condition can now access the new Ohio High-Risk Insurance pool. For more information on the high risk pool or to sign-up for coverage, please visit [link to www.insurance.ohio.gov]

The ACA immediately eliminated pre-existing coverage exclusions for children. Kids will no longer be denied coverage — or have services excluded from coverage — as a result of pre-existing conditions. Additionally, parents of young adults can now maintain coverage for their children until age 26. Serious mental illness is often first noticed in the late teens or early twenties, when the brain is changing rapidly and when pressures to perform are great. It is crucial that young adults with existing or emerging mental illnesses not experience lapses in coverage at this time of high risk.

Beginning in 2014, insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to individuals with mental illness and insurers cannot use mental illness as a reason to raise premiums. HHS also established an essential benefits package — a set of health care service categories that must be covered by most plans — that will take effect in 2014. Mental health and substance abuse disorder services will be part of this package.

The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the ACA represent tremendous strides forward for mental health coverage and access. However, we must also re-examine our mental health safety net, which has faced unrelenting budget cuts, reducing access for some our most vulnerable citizens.

Finally, we must work to reduce the stigma attached to mental health treatment, and find ways to support families who are concerned about the mental health status of their loved ones. It is essential that families know about the mental health resources available to them, and that they understand they have allies and other resources to which they can turn. Education about signs of mental illness, how to obtain a mental health screening, and how to access treatment services are simple but key ingredients to a successful national plan for managing mental health crises. Should any legislation concerning gun control and access to mental and behavioral health care come before the Senate, I will keep your thoughts in mind.

Thank you also for sharing your thoughts on background checks for firearms owners.

I continue to receive numerous constituent letters voicing opinions on this issue. Gun shows have become a way for criminals and gun traffickers to purchase weapons without a background check and without a record of purchase. Gun sellers at these shows are not always registered the same way as owners of gun shops. This enables people to sell guns to criminals or the mentally unstable without any record being created for law enforcement. The International Association of Chiefs of Police supports improving and expanding the background check process to ensure that registration and background check is conducted for every gun sale.

Gun control is a complex issue and we must work together to uphold our Constitution while at the same time ensuring that our communities are safe. We can and must act to ensure tragedies like this never happen again.

Should any legislation come before the Senate for a vote, I will keep your views in mind. Thank you again for getting in touch with me.

Sincerely,

Sherrod Brown
United States Senator

Dear xxxxxxx:

Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate hearing from you.

The horror that took place in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012 seems unbearable, but we will lock arms and unite as citizens, for that is how Americans rise above unspeakable evil. Let us all come together in God's grace to pray for the families of the victims, that they may find some comfort and peace amid such suffering. Let us give thanks for all those who helped get people to safety, and take heart from their example.

House Republicans join President Obama and all Americans in mourning the victims of this awful tragedy. The president formed a task force headed by Vice President Biden. On January 16, 20 1 3, the president announced his plan based on the task force 's recommendations. House committees of jurisdiction will review these recommendations. And if the Senate passes a bill, we will also take a look at that . Right now our focus is, and should be, on the victims, their families, and their community.

Thank you again for contacting me with your thoughts. Please don't hesitate to inform me of your concerns in the future. To sign up for email updates, I invite you to visit my website at [link to johnboehner.house.gov] .

John A. Boehner

Dear xxxxxxxx :

Like all Americans, I was horrified as the tragedies of Friday, December 14 th unfolded in Newtown, Connecticut. The deplorable act of violence that took the lives of innocent children and adults is beyond reason, and I pray that, in time, the families of the victims and the people of that community are able to find peace.

As you no doubt recall, we were all reminded of the evil th at exists in our world when six students were shot, three fatally, at Chardon High School in Geauga County on February 27 th , 2012. In the aftermath, the heroic stories of the first responders, teachers and staff who acted swiftly and selflessly to protect others showed true courage.

Since that tragic event, and in the wake of the recent tragedy in Newtown, the absolute necessity for school officials, parents, students and first responders to be trained and practiced in responding to these unthinkable crimes is of utmost importance. Various state and local agencies, including the Ohio Office of Homeland Security and the Ohio Department of Education, have worked collaboratively to implement, review and drill response plans. Moreover, these occasions of violence and heartache should give us all pause to think about how we treat each other, and the value we as a society place upon every life.

With regard to calls for legislation in response to these events, it is my belief that we will be best served by enforcing those laws that currently exist. And, in the weeks and months that follow, we should learn as much as possible about how this happened, and what steps we can take, including mental health awareness and school safety protocols, to guard against the senseless loss of innocent life ever again.

I appreciate your taking the time to write. Please join me and my family in continuing to keep the communities of Chardon and Newtown, and all innocent victims of violence, in our prayers. Thank you.

Governor John Kasich
