No, but I do have a little first hand experience both receiving and getting this type of feedback.

This was interesting....I sent some questions to the democrat canidate in my district Greg Housch. I actually worded the email so that he wouldnt know which side of the issue that I was on. I basically asked if he would support legislation to reduce gun crime OR legislation to expand gun rights...here was his response. I am still waiting on a response from the top republican canidate who bill kintner 'highly recommended'...
Justin,
Thanks for asking the question. I would always be open to input from you and others with respect to any proposals that might help us reduce gun crimes. However, with respect to gun legislation, I would want to protect the constitutional rights of law abiding gun owners and Nebraska sportsmen.
Thanks again for asking Justin and feel free to contact me if you have additional questions.
Greg

that sounds great and all, but press him on it. have him offer up an example on how he would protect the rights or how he exercises his 2A rights.
Kitner has worn an NFOA button on the floor of the Unicameral. he GTG

Absolutely Robert H...I responded back to him inquiring as to how he would have voted on a number of bills that were shot down in this year's session... I'm just curious what he has to say, I'm almost positive that I will be supporting Merv Reipe...he seems to be the top republican canidate, he was recomended by kintner, & he lives just a few blocks away from me so I can keep an eye on him....haha...
Sorry to hijack this thread, I should probably start one for district 12 to report on the progress of my mission...
I was in the same boat as you ThirtyDaze as far as, not knowing how to make initial contact, what works best, & what to even say when you are ready to voice an opinion.
At the NFOA day at the legislature, I went & took a crap & when I got to Steve lathrops office he was gone. I wasn't sure what I was going to say face to face, man & attorney, one on one... I sent a letter & some emails & received what appeared to be generic responses likely sent by his aides... I do think emails, letters, & calls can be effective...mostly if the shear number received is overwhelming versus a single email that is well written with lots of good points...
Only one way to find out, & I for one am looking at this 2014 election & lead up to the election as a New Begining to make new contacts & accomplish more if we can get enough 'good guys' in the senate on the right committees...!
