legislation that would place restrictions on the sale of assault weapons and
limit high capacity ammunition clips. We </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">ask that you
take an active role in the efforts to achieve sensible gun safety legislation. We
ask you, as a respected leader in the House of Representatives, to assume a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">In a recent letter, you said, “</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">In Vermont, we are fortunate not to have experienced gun
violence on the scale of Newtown. And we have a long tradition of responsible
gun use.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">” While that may be true, it is no longer enough. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">In the week following the shootings
in Newtown, the sale of assault weapons in one gun shop in Windsor, Vermont
rose from the usual five per week to thirty in one week. There is no rational
reason for any private citizen(s) to have assault weapons in his/her home.
Relying on good fortune to protect anyone, especially young children, from gun
violence is not a “common sense solution” to the need for common sense gun
legislation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

renewed and made permanent. High capacity ammunition magazines, belts, drums,
feed strips should be limited to 10 rounds of ammunition.

<span style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 17.0pt;">In the aftermath of the tragic events
in Newtown, Connecticut, we are confident that you are as concerned about the
safety of our communities as we are. The question that many in our community
are asking is what action you and other state leaders will take in response.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 17.0pt;">We hope that you are willing to
demonstrate the kind of leadership and courage that has begun to emerge in
other parts of the country. A California State Senator, Kevin DeLeon, a
Democrat, has introduced legislation that would require anyone in that state
who wants to buy ammunition, for any kind of weapon, to undergo a background
check. The individual would also have to obtain a one-year permit costing $50.
And finally, the legislation would ban the sale of ammunition in California by
mail.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 17.0pt;">That seems like a reasonable first
step, particularly in our state where there are no background check
requirements attached to the purchase of either guns or ammunition. Like
California, Democrats in Vermont are in a powerful position through their
significant control of the legislature. With that strength, we hope that you
will be willing to lead boldly and join California in passing legislation that
could set a model for other states around the country.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 17.0pt;">The tradition of public policy
leadership from our small state of Vermont is a matter of great pride to many
of us. It's a pride that we hope you share and will have the courage to act on.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: left;">We will be making Ticking Bags that will be used to help clean up the the oceans of the world. Although it sounds complicated, it's quite simple. Every piece of plastic that's recycled doesn't end up floating in the sea, or worse yet in the gut of an unsuspecting sea bird. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Take a Ticking Bag with you wherever you go and you will always have a place to put every random piece of trash you come across until you can recycle it. </span><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
