Change representative

Sat., June 25, 2016

The title of the Spokesman-Review editorial on June 15 was “Citizens must push for changes in gun laws.” In order to facilitate a change in gun laws, a change in congressional representatives is needed.

The people in Eastern Washington will have a choice this November to re-elect a representative who supports the NRA position and no gun legislation or replace her with someone who will not bow to the gun lobby and support common sense laws.
