Governor Schwarzenegger,

In May of this year I emailed you requesting that you veto Bill number 962 on the grounds that it violates my constitutional right to keep and bear arms. This bill, recently signed by you, is an abomination to the second amendment. 

You have threatened to release tens of thousands of prisoners from the states prisons due to budget constraints. We are in the worst economic disaster in 100 years, and you along with the democrats in the assembly have conspired to limit my right to self defense? Criminals will still get the weapons they want. They will still get the ammunition they need for those weapons. Criminals get what they want by obtaining them through illegal means. What makes you so sure this law will make us safer? Do heroin addicts get their smack from legal means sir? NO, they sure do not!  Knowing all of this, you still signed a bill that will limit my right to self defense and the defense of my family.

In your response to me on June 1, 2009, your exact words were “I generally do not take a position on legislation until a bill has reached my desk because it can change significantly from the time it is introduced until the time it is finalized.  For the current session, the California Legislature has until September 11, 2009 to pass legislation, and I have until October 11, 2009 to sign or veto proposed bills.”

No Sir, You are supposed to take a position on bills like this because they are unconstitutional and go against the conservative principles that got you elected, as well as the God given right the people of this state have, to make the choice for themselves whether or not they choose to become a victim of crime. 

Sir, it is because of whimpy statements like this by Republicans like you, that I have distanced myself from the Republican Party. You and people like you, do not hold the conservative views of the founding of this country or for that matter, the founding of this state. Guns are a right to each citizen, granted by the Constitution of the United States, for use of self defense and the defense of others, hunting and sport. 

I will tell you sir, the day you can guarantee a competent police officer can fit in my trousers back pocket, is the day you might get me to think of not needing to provide for my own self protection! However, you will never take away my love for hunting and sport shooting.

Please feel free to call me (Phone number inserted here) and I would be happy to discuss with you my complete displeasure of your job performance. Even though you could pick me up and snap me like a twig sir, you have shown ZERO backbone with the liberal Democrats who continue to destroy what made this country so great. 

I look forward to your being removed from office in 2010! I had much higher aspirations for you, given you are the celebrity body building, action star, Governor. But you sir have been a complete disappointment.

Sincerely and Without Affection,
