Bill of Rights

Ladies and gentlemen,
I have just dispatched the following letter via email and urge you all to do likewise without delay.
Dear Mr. President,
Today, the US Senate passed a bill called the "NICS Improvement Act", HR 2640, by "unanimous consent". This bill has the possibility to be used to permanently disarm many of our veterans who have given years of their lives and in some cases, parts of their bodies to defend the rights our Founding Fathers fought to protect. Some, including the NRA, say that this bill is a good thing because it gives a remedy to those who have somehow found themselves mistakenly placed on a list forbidding them to lawfully purchase firearms because they had post-traumatic, but not necessarily permanent reactions to combat-related stress. Sir, no American citizen should have to prove him- or herself worthy of being allowed to defend him- or herself, least of all our military veterans.
It is for this reason that I urge you in the strongest possible terms to veto HR 2640.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Most sincerely,
