At the very least we need to give him credit for not outright dismissing your letter. Hopefully, he will stay true to his word and actually wait to make a final decision until he has all of the facts presented to him. However, from his reply to you it appears that we already have an uphill battle ahead of us to convince him otherwise.



Every letter counts, people. They might read a hundred letters that all appear to say the same thing, but your letter might (just might) be the one that has the proper wording that makes them (the legislators) see things from a different point of view.



How many times have you had (what seems like) everyone telling you the same thing and it never "clicked" until one person said the exact same message, but in a slightly different way? It's happened to all of us.



We don't know how many letters and phone calls it will take, but if ever there was a case where "more is not enough" this would be it. There is no harm in contacting your legislators and there is also nothing wrong with contacting the representatives and legislation from other states and localities. Let's show them that we can be a strong voice.
