Letter: Vote out the 'Cold Dead Hands Party'

I am so disgusted with the Republicans in Congress and their unwillingness to take action on gun violence. This is how they think:

"Hmmm. Do I choose my constituents' right to live and be safe, or getting those big bucks from the NRA? Ha ha ha! That's not hard!"

Besides the thousands of gun deaths every year from suicides, accidents, gang violence and by domestic partners, now we have terrorists radicalized by ISIS killing us.

And still Republicans in Congress do nothing. I think we should call them the "Cold Dead Hands Party" and vote them all out.
