Last night I sent a note to Representative Brooks asking where she stood on the issue of Bans and additional legislation. Just a canned response so far. I'll be calling her this afternoon.
Dear Friend,
Thank you for contacting me with your thoughts and ideas. I look forward to working with and serving the people of Indiana's 5th Congressional District.
I ran for Congress to ensure that future generations, including my two children ages 19 and 22, have the opportunities available to them that my generation had. I believe it is time Congress implements policies to allow everyone the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. This is my first time serving in elected office and I am ready to bring a fresh voice to the issues facing Hoosiers and our country.
This is also the first time in over thirty years that Indiana's 5th Congressional District has a new representative. While we have enjoyed a smooth transition, with the influx of inquiries to the new office it will take me slightly longer to respond to your specific inquiry than I would like. I will respond more specifically to your inquiry in the coming weeks. Thank you for your patience in this regard.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Your thoughts and opinions are of critical importance to me as I work to represent our district. I sincerely appreciate your comments and look forward to hearing from you in the future. Feel free to contact my staff if we can ever be of assistance. Please know that I will always work to serve Hoosiers well.
Sincerely,
Susan W. Brooks
Member of Congress

Ms. Brooks,
I'm writing to ask for your help in maintaining our 2A rights. As a lawful gun owner and someone whom you represent in the house, I am concerned that knee jerk reactions to the tragedy at Sandy Hook will further curtail my natural rights, recognized in the Constitution. I would like to know where you stand on universal background checks, magazine bans and bans on semi-auto firearms.
Thank you for your time and consideration of my request.
Respectfully,
My Name
