When writing coats make sure you remind him of his promise. In an interview on Greg Garrison, Coats said that the biggest regret he had from his previous time in office was voting for the first AWB. He said it was a big mistake that he will never make again and that he would not support any new gun control legislation.
So while making your case let him know that you'll hold him to his promise. I'm fairly certain that Donnelly will vote for the ban. I fear Coats will as well since he went with party leadership on a number of other issues, including the fiscal cliff non-deal.
Just make sure he understands that voting for further gun control he is breaking the public and direct promise that he made to his constituents.
Same here. I should have wished them luck.Handwritten letters sent to Coates, Donnelly, Burton and even one to Carson. Hope they can read my cursive.
