I've just received an email response from Asm D.O. Peterson asking "Would you please provide us with your full mailing address? Thank you." in response to the email I sent below regarding A588 and A1013 on the 28th January.

 

While it's good to see a response, has anyone else received one and any thoughts on the reason for asking for the mailing address?

 

thanks

Subject: A588 and A1013

 

As a law abiding member of public within New Jersey I strongly urge you to OPPOSE A588 and A1013 that is due to be heard in Trenton on Monday at 2pm. Of particular concern is A588 which would look to ban armor piercing ammunition which is already prohibited under federal and state law. Trying to add further legislation, such as A588, is a waste of tax payer’s money and would provide the opportunity for significant abuse by the current or future Attorney Generals.

 

I am extremely concerned at the underhand and secretive nature in which the assembly is attempting to introduce these bills. These bills are a direct threat to the ability for my wife and I to protect ourselves and our families and any elected officials that votes for these bills will lose my support in any and all future elections.

 

I urge you to do the right thing and OPPOSE A588 and A1013

 

Thank you

My first thought for a legitimate reason to request an address is to verify that you are a qualified constituent.

Exactly - if your not eligible to vote in their district, they're not interested in your opinion.

Let me adjust my tinfoil hat...

 

 

I agree with the previous posters

I got the same email from him.

 

I sent an email to every single person on that committee. This guy was the only one to write back. Come to think of it, the only other politician who has ever written me back was Senator Van Drew.

 

I'm in the District 6, the Greenwald/Lampit/Beach district. They are not on the committee.

That's why you make an address up. Learned this tip from the anti gunners.......

Heck, if you're worried about giving your real email address just get a Gmail, Hotmail or other email address. Use it strictly for things like these. The problem is that most of the emails come in with the name showing (like wombat for example) and the recipent, unless they know how to read the headers, has no idea if it's a legitimate person contacting them. Even then if the email address is something just as obscure like '[email protected]' they won't be able to tell more.

 

Actually a lot of isp's (or whomever you have your email thru) will give you several email addresses if you want.
