Sam on Guns, Fines, and Promises...

Sam,

I am Nathan {last name removed}, a voter in your district and noticed your ad on facebook.I read some of your issues page and agree with you on many things. I would liketo point out though that the environment and schools may be important issues butin my opinion it would be good to let people know your stance on other issueslike the possible policy changes on gun rights after the Virginia Tech shootingand the issue of the increased fines for tickets in Virginia. Personally I thinkthat you should fight to overturn these fines. I am sure there are better waysto pay for the budget deficit such as reducing the lawn care for highwaymedians. I don't think that pretty bushes and flowers and well groomed grass onthe highways are as important to voters as the pains these new fines areinflicting on low income families. I attend college at Virginia Tech but I haveworked for minimum wage and I understand how hard it would be to pay $2,500 fora ticket. I hope you consider my input and I wish you luck in your campaign.

~Nate
