I am writing as your constituent in the 1st Congressional district of Ohio. I oppose S.35 - Gun Show Background Check Act of 2011, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability.
The bill in its current form is too broad. Narrow it down and I will gladly throw my support behind it.
Sincerely,
Aaron Feuer
